I went to a curry shop that opened on March 27 in front of Ishibashi Hankai near the university 🍛

The shop is called 3 Tabekare, located on the first floor of a building straight ahead from the west exit of Ishibashi Hankai station on the Hankyu Takarazuka line. It's close to the Hankyu bus stop for Ishibashi Hankai 🚃🚌

The name of the shop means "3 servings of curry," which is derived from the idea of eating curry three times 🍛

There are only counter seats, and the interior has a retro vibe with lots of old photographs, creating a pleasant atmosphere ✨

I ordered the Sanzoku Yaki Curry 🍛 with raclette cheese topping 🧀

◇Features of Sanzoku Yaki Curry◇
☆ The base curry is a flavorful beef tendon curry that has been simmered slowly for a whole day!
☆ The Sanzoku Yaki uses a whole piece of domestic chicken breast marinated in a secret sauce, resulting in a juicy finish!
☆ It comes generously topped with hot and melty raclette cheese!

The cold water had lemon in it, which was refreshing and paired excellently with the curry 🍋

You can also get a large serving of rice, so I opted for that 🍚
It’s nice that both regular and large sizes are the same price ✨

On a vintage silver plate, I had a large serving of rice, curry roux, Sanzoku Yaki 🐔, and fukujinzuke, making for a luxurious curry topped with grilled raclette cheese 🍛

At first, the curry seemed mildly spicy, but the heat built up afterward 🔥
However, even for someone like me who isn’t good with spicy food, it was delicious, so most people would likely enjoy it 🍛

The raclette cheese made it creamy and delicious 🧀

The Sanzoku Yaki had very thick and large chicken breast, yet it was tender enough to cut with a spoon, and the coating was crispy and tasty 🐔
It was so juicy that you wouldn’t believe it was chicken breast, and it was incredibly delicious 🐔

There’s a logo for 3 Tabekare on the plate, which becomes visible as you eat, adding to the experience ✨

Even with a large serving of rice, it was so good that I finished it quickly‼️

The curry is 1200 yen 🍛
And the raclette cheese is 500 yen 🧀
This is quite affordable, and regular curry is under 1000 yen, which is very reasonable‼️

Customers at the shop are pleasantly surprised to receive popsicles after their meal 🍨

I was surprised to see that Ishibashi has quite a few curry shops, but many of them serve Indian-style spice curries, making this one a classic Japanese-style curry house 🍛

I hope this lovely shop, with its engaging master, delicious curry, and retro ambiance, continues for a long time 🍛
