This soup curry restaurant will be different to anything you have ever visited.
First, there are only 10 places to sit. If you are a larger group, you will all sit at different parts of the restaurant.
There is no kid’s menu and the curry soup when it arrives is piping hot and delicious.
The owner and her husband have pretty strict rules, as you can read in other comments which are true, so be aware.
I think this makes it a very special place and a unique eating experience.
The restaurant is only open from 11:30 to 14:30, closed Tuesdays and Fridays

A little hut that only serve hokkaido curry soup and owner has a very uptight attitude, foreigner beware, but it is the best curry soup in Niseko or maybe even the best you ever had!

1. Pick your main ingredient (such as chicken, pork, deep fried shrimp/oyster) and spice level;
2. Order extra topping together, no change of order or add-on afterward, such as onsen egg, potato croquettes (recommended) or Jakokatsu (deep fried minced dish cake with Tonkatsu sauce);
3. Tips: Tell the owner it's not your first time and you love curry soup and know how to enjoy it otherwise you might be rejected.

PS: no young children, do not be too loud, must finish all the food, otherwise, enjoy

The Obasan and Ojisan are running this small soup curry. They are working hard and asking you to finish all the foods to show your respect. Hiding gem in Hirafu with good price in this area.

Please Read: there is no children’s menu, it is expected that you eat all of your food, do so without making a ruckus, and eat in a timely manner. As a visitor to the region, I truly enjoyed my experience at Niseko Curry Koya, I had the special of the day, which was a duck curry and it was great. There are tons of negative reviews regarding how the owner runs their business, if you do not like their requests, this might not be the place for you. Otherwise our party of 4 all had a great experience. Would dine here again.
