Today I would like to introduce,
A Western-style restaurant representing Ikebukuro!
This is "Kitchen ABC"!!
I have to go to Ikebukuro in the afternoon.
If so, go to Ikebukuro a little early
It's not Ikebukuro lunch ♪
I came to Ikebukuro, but...
I... I don't understand Ikebukuro at all... 😅
I came to Ikebukuro on the Fukutoshin Line, but first of all, where can I get out of the ground?
If it comes out, where is it here...
I'm from the IWGP generation, but I got hooked on CH first, so Ikebukuro didn't attract me at all lol
Ikebukuro... There is a recognition that it is one of the fierce battlegrounds of ramen... And I know that there is a soup-less dandan noodle shop that appeared in the lonely gourmet!
Well... Ikebukuro... What do I want to eat? 🤔
Relying only on memory, when it comes to famous shops in Ikebukuro...
That soupless Tantanmen, mentaiko tsukemen, salt ramen famous for being too salty...
After that... there was certainly a famous Western restaurant... I forgot the name, but once lost tomato beef shop, Western kitchen knife, ABC!
Alright! Let's look at Google Maps...
Oh 🤔 I have something to do. The one near the building is... ABC!
Nice ♪ That's my first Ikebukuro lunch
Kitchen ABC!
When I went there immediately, even though it was 14 o'clock
Waiting alone outside the store! Oh... as expected of a popular store
After waiting for a while, you will be given a menu
Well... what to ask... It's my first time
I want to order oriental rice!
There is a good thing with black curry in oriental rice ♪ Moreover, you can add chicken nanban tartar for 400 yen ♪ This is it!
When I was guided into the store and waited for a while
Chicken nanban was served first
Just the right size!
I'm sure there were many people who asked for it.
It's a size that you can see that your experience is backed up ♪
And they came after me!
Oriental Rice & Black Curry!
Oriental rice...
I only knew that this was famous!
and it's about to split in half.
Black curry... really black 😳
It's not a dark brown dimension... it's pitch black!
What did you put in it and what did you do to make it this black...
It's not burnt! It doesn't smell like that at all... the nice scent of curry and the scent of grilled pork are rising
First from oriental rice
Let's go... No, black curry first...
Well 🤔 go from the border lol... and ♪
Oh ♪ It seems like grilled pork with stamina
Stir-fried pork is delicious!
And black curry that is peeking a little face
Wait a minute... It was just a little black curry, but... It's amazing...
Let's just go with a little black curry... (ﾟ A ﾟ;)
Pak and ♪... Fooaaaaah!!
What!? What is this depth!!
This blackness... is not 😳
Yeah! The spiciness is not so much and the saltiness is not strong... but the umami and the depth of the taste come with Zugan... 🤤 This is amazing lol
Next is... Chicken Nanban Tartar!
A large piece is on the plate!
The tartar is soaked...
Here we go!
Gabotto ♪... Ahhhhh ♪
Yeah!!
Co-star of sweet vinegar sauce and tartar!
The chewy texture of chicken breast!
Excellent is this sweet and sour sauce!!
This is it! This is sweet and sour sauce! I want to scream lol
The Kitchen ABC...
It's going to be popular... 🤤
After that, I just devour it lol
eat oriental, eat black curry
Biting into the chicken nanban tartar
There is a taste of tartar and sweet and sour sauce in the mouth, shredded kitchen cheek, refreshing place, return to the Oriental!
This is ABC's triangle eating loop! 🤣🤣🤣
Finally, finish with black curry ♪
This black curry was really good 🤤
While listening to other customers' orders
There were a lot of Indian orders 🤔
I think it's a dish using curry powder in terms of naming, but maybe I'll order it next time I come 🤩
Hello again ♪
池袋の人気洋食店「キッチンABC」は、その独特な黒カレーとボリューム満点のチキン南蛮が魅力で、ランチタイムには多くの客で賑わいます。実際に訪れてみると、黒カレーのコクと旨味の奥深さには驚かされました。普通のカレー粉を使っているわけではなく、スパイスの調合や炒め方など秘伝の技術が感じられ、ピリ辛でありながらまろやかな味わいが特徴です。さらに、オリエンタルライスは炒めた豚肉のスタミナ焼き風で、ご飯との相性も抜群。これに甘酢ダレとたっぷりのタルタルソースがかかったチキン南蛮を追加すれば、満足度は一気にアップします。店内は26席とコンパクトで、人気が高いためお昼時は行列覚悟ですが回転は比較的早いです。支払いは現金のみという点には注意が必要ですね。地元の常連も多く、他のお客さんが頼む「インディアン」というメニューも気になるところ。名前からしてカレー粉を使ったメニューと思われ、次回の訪問の楽しみになりました。池袋ランチでどこに行こうか迷った時は、ぜひキッチンABCを候補にしてみてください。定休日なしで日替わりメニューは早めに売り切れるので、早めの来店がおすすめです。都会の喧騒の中で、懐かしい洋食の味と安定したクオリティを感じられるお店として、リピーターも多いのもうなずけます。
