With over 10 types of curry using plenty of domestically-produced vegetables, the curry specialty restaurant “Columbus”

“Clumbus (コロンブス)” is a curry specialty restaurant which offers healthy curry made with fresh domestically-produced vegetables. All of more than 10 types of curry are served with the roux overflowing a vessel as well as one pored on rice. Do you think that they have good value, don’t you? By the way, it seems that the most popular menu is ‘Bacon egg cabbage curry’ (1,020 yen), and the menu loved by most of women is ‘Tomato spinach egg curry’ (1,050 yen). The roux with smooth texture soaks into vegetables cut into chunks. At the moment you take a bite, a rich flavor mixed vegetables and the roux explodes in your mouth. Their curry is also recommended for those who are not good at spicy food because vegetables neutralize the spicy taste of the roux. If you like a strong spicy taste, please choose your favorite spiciness from 5 levels when ordering.
