A little sweet with your spicy? Tokyo restaurant serves curry with strawberries and ice cream
One of the great things about curry is how versatile it is. The standard way to eat the spicy dish in Japan is with carrots, potatoes, onions, and pork, but you can also toss in chicken, shrimp, beef, or tuna. Things are wide open when it comes to vegetables, too, with some people opting for eggplant, spinach, or tomatoes.
But why limit yourself to just meats and veggies? One curry restaurant in Tokyo feels its menu should be inclusive of the entire food pyramid, and will fix you a plate of curry rice that represents the fruit and dairy groups in the forms of curry with strawberries and even ice cream.
Even if it had a more orthodox menu, Cafe Latino would probably still stand out because of the incongruity of its name and location in Asakusa, Tokyo’s traditional, temple-filled neighborhood. The name isn’t just a ploy to get attention, though, as the cafe hosts conga drum performances and also provides Latin music percussion lessons, which are offered by appointment at any hour of the day or night.
