Experience the attention-grabbing Dam Curry at the cafe, offering a taste of the extraordinary.
Nestled quietly in the depths of Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, is the renowned "Sakura Lake Restaurant". This specialty dam curry shop is situated by the lakeside of Urayama Dam, enveloped by the dam and nature. With its wooden, Showa-era retro appearance, and open seats that overlook the lake, one can immerse themselves in an extraordinary atmosphere.
The highlight here is the visually artistic Dam Curry. Resembling a miniature landscape, the vertically-cut rice represents the dam body, the smooth curry roux resembles the lake surface, and the tempura flakes and pickles adorn the mountains like autumn leaves. This playful presentation not only arouses the appetite, but also offers great photo opportunities. It's truly an experiential menu that stimulates all five senses, from sight to taste.
Contrary to its vibrant appearance, the flavor of Dam Curry is simple yet profound. It's not overly spicy, but the flavorful roux and crispy pork cutlet complement each other well. The standard seasoning, beloved by a wide range of customers from children to the elderly, never fails to offer a delicious taste that never gets old.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere is a blend of retro-modern, with warm wooden furniture and sunlight filling the space. Through the large windows, one can overlook the lake surface of Urayama Dam, allowing a pleasant breeze to flow into the restaurant. The lively atmosphere of tourists queuing up adds to the open and natural surroundings, creating an extraordinary sense of being in a resort-like location.
Tasting Dam Curry while gazing at the dam's embankment is sure to create extraordinary memories surrounded by the great nature of Chichibu. Regardless of age or gender, why not immerse yourself in the simple yet artistic flavors and make unforgettable memories?
