Borrowing the bar "Acoustic Folk Bar Players" during daytime for irregular lunch operations — business days are posted monthly on Instagram. The shop is on the 2nd floor under the elevated tracks, with the entrance on the back side from the 1st-floor shop's perspective. First order & pay, with cash or contactless credit card only. My greediness made me unable to decide immediately, so the staff arranged an order that lets me complete all 3 menu items (lol). The seasonal "Spicy Over Rice" was arranged shop-original, with pork keema and house-made yogurt sauce and hot chili sauce on top of rice. I added mini curries of the standard "Punchy Butter Chicken Curry" and seasonal "Salmon White Curry," so the over-rice had less roux and less rice. Happy to see both large and small portions priced. Ingredients are basically additive-free, MSG-free, gluten-free. No refined salt, white sugar, or salad oil; the carefully chosen vegetables are pesticide-free, reduced-pesticide, organic, or specially cultivated — eaten with comfort. Butter chicken curry would make my mouth taste curry, then over-rice would make it spicy, so each flavor might become unclear? Greedy with 3 — was it a failure?! I worried a bit, but no need at all (lol). All 3 don't assert themselves too much — you can enjoy different flavors, completing all was the right call ♪ The over rice didn't taste Cajun — it was just pork-keema curry flavor, with not-too-strong curry feel. The white curry looked like stew but had a curious slight curry flavor. The butter chicken curry — using fresh tomato or sour cream — had a sourness from tomato sauce that even sour-tomato-disliking me didn't mind. After finishing, "Shigeki-Teki Natural" (the shop name) makes strange sense. Each is finished with flavors that make the most of good ingredients — truly natural. Then with a hint of spice — Shigeki-teki (stimulating) — I interpreted on my own (lol). Maybe because it's a music bar, the BGM matching the atmosphere was also pleasant. One-person operation. For visits with limited time, reservations recommended. On my visit day, it apparently sold out before closing time. Reservations via LINE only.
