Recently, I’ve found myself constantly returning to Bombay Blue, a small Indian curry restaurant in Iwamizawa. Bombay Blue boasts a wide variety of options in their menu, with seafood, pork, vegetable and chicken curry to try.
Bomb curry
However, this is not your run-of-the-mill Indian curry. There is a surprising depth of flavor, zest and spiciness. I have ordered the chicken curry set almost every time I have visited, and have always ordered the very hot (or 大辛、おおから) level of spiciness This set comes with a small-sized bowl of curry, a naan flavor of your choice (they have plain, extra butter, cheese and more), a side of rice and a side of cabbage salad with a secret and delicious dressing.
The roux is what draws me in every time. There is a secret mix of spices that I simply can’t describe as anything else but a complex, delicious medley, with small hints of sweet and aromatic spices abounding on your palette. The texture is also not too thin and not too thick. It is, at the expense of sounding too cliché, Indian curry nirvana.
What’s in the curry?!
Being the frequent customer that I am, I have spoken at decent length with the owner of Bombay Blue and while he of course won’t give away the secret of his curry’s flavor, he has told me that he is always working hard to improve it. They are constantly striving to get that much closer to the perfect flavor, though I can’t imagine it getting any better myself.
If you live in Hokkaido yourself or are planning to visit the Sapporo area, you have to come and try it. It’s a little out of the way, but if you are a fan of Indian curry it is an absolute must-try.
