202 Curry Do

✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ What I had this time: • Basque Cheesecake Plain ¥680 • Lassi Strawberry ¥580 • Café au Lait ICE ¥580 ✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼ A shop specializing in gluten-free sweets and curry. As someone with gluten intolerance, I can choose any sweet with peace of mind. The pudding and terrine were also hard to pass up, but as it was my first visit, I went with the Basque cheesecake. ◆ Basque Cheesecake Lately I feel like I've been eating cheesecake at various places. This Basque is quite acidic with low sweetness. Basque cheesecakes usually have strong creamy milkiness compared to baked cheesecakes, but maybe this one is more yogurty than cheesy? ◆ Café au Lait Watch out! Not noted on the menu, but it contains syrup — sweet. I saw my husband and the guy next to him both make "this is different!" faces. Coffee lovers should know! Lots of café-time customers, but smelling curry makes you want it! Want to come at lunch next time. Thank you for the meal!

202 Curry Hall — popular in Shimokitazawa, a curry battleground. A soup curry shop, but the seasonal sweets are also super popular! Everything — curries and sweets — is gluten-free! What I ordered: • Combination Curry + natto topping ¥1,210 • Cherry × Matcha Basque Cheesecake ¥900 Soup curry comes in rich tomato soup or rich-mellow coconut soup. The pairing of tomato soup and natto topping is wonderful! Natto is a popular topping with staff too — recommended! The cheesecake's seasonal cherry-blossom-flavor cream, mochi, anko toppings all worked beautifully! Was extremely delicious. Next time terrine? Or pudding? Lunchtime even on weekdays has a wait; on weekends, sometimes 4 hours! You get a number and they call you when your turn is close, so no need to wait in line.
