Curry dishes are very common in Japan and you will find restaurants both small and large serving at least dish of curry. By recommendation of a housemate I tried CoCo Ichi's curry. They had almost only dishes that were served with curry and rice. They also have several levels of spiciness in their curry the maximum being level ten and if you manage to eat an entire plate with their spiciest curry you will receive a certificate and congratulations!
I was not as brave, I remembered the last time I tried chicken vindaloo at an authentic Indian restaurant and had to spend an entire night in the bathroom afterwards and unable to taste food for a week I decided that a low level curry would be enough.
The restaurant had only about 25 seats so I had to wait for some of the guests to finish but I was given a menu while waiting so I could look over what I wanted. I got an English menu and it looked a bit different from the Japanese menus, I am not sure if they excluded some items, like different levels of spiciness, for foreigners. I didn't really mind, since I was really hungry. I chose a dish with sliced beef and onions and was shortly seated. The waiter was really quick and friendly and the meal showed up not long after.
The curry was definitely not too spicy, but niether was it too mellow. It tasted great and it was once again just enough to make you feel full! This was also my first time eating with a spoon since I came to Japan.
If you like curry or if you think you have an iron stomach go and try their challenge!
