About

A medicinal curry shop on the 2nd floor of a building in the Nakano Sun Mall shopping street, about a 2-minute walk from the north exit of JR Nakano Station, called Spices Curry Synergy Nakano. It opened on August 18, 2023, and was renewed in 2025. The main shop in Kitashinchi, Osaka, sells out daily, has been listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for three years running, and was chosen for Tabelog's Top 100. Owner-chef Aya Hara is a medicinal-food coordinator and cook, working under the theme of food and medicine from the same source, plus gluten-free.

— Medicinal food and gluten-free, Michelin three years running

The signature is a medicinal curry that uses more than ten spices such as turmeric, clove, and nutmeg, combined with distinctive ingredients like whitebait and monkfish liver to draw out umami. Under the theme of food and medicine from the same source plus gluten-free, the blend aims for five kinds of synergy: health, beauty, stamina, healing, and motivation. Because it is made gluten-free, it serves guests with wheat allergies and celiac disease. Owner-chef Aya Hara holds qualifications as a medicinal-food coordinator and cook, and is a rare cook who merges traditional medicinal-food wisdom with modern spice curry. The main shop in Kitashinchi, Osaka, has been listed in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand for three years running and chosen for Tabelog's Top 100. The Nakano shop is valued as a place to experience Kansai-born spice curry in Tokyo, and is supported by health-minded guests and curry fans. Wednesday to Saturday 11:00 to 15:00; closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and the third Saturday.

“Found gluten-free medicinal curry!”

Visited because I was happy to learn that all menu items are gluten-free. This time the staff recommended, "The chicken curry, which doesn't even use soy sauce, is the safest," so I went with that. They confirmed allergies carefully, and I was able to dine with peace of mind. It's a thin medicinal curry, and the chicken was so tender it fell apart with a spoon — beautifully delicious. Medium-spicy, just right for me — I'm not great with heat but I could handle this. The portion felt a little small. Good for someone who wants to eat lightly, but those wanting a full meal should consider adding more. The main shop is in Osaka, and they've been chosen for "Tabelog 100 Famous Shops"! The shop is down a narrow alley off the shopping street. First-time visitors might find it a bit tricky to locate, but "Cozy Corner" is a landmark. It's on the 2nd floor of a multi-tenant building — stairs only, no elevator. The entrance is a bit narrow too, so strollers might be tough. You order at the entrance first, then take your seat. Easy to enter alone, with a calm atmosphere. Highly recommended for those looking for body-friendly curry!
