The spices reminded me of  my trip to Delhi in India this year.
I have been to India only once.
According to the web site, the owner and chef  is an Indian Muslim.

The restaurant  has eight seats.
There were seven people, our family(four people), two Japanese man and one foreigner.
Two Japanese man ordered  two chicken curry, one foreigner did a large size of biryani.

How about the taste?
Good. but a little bit hot for me.
My older son sweated in his face.
We ordered medium hot,  so next time I will do the regular hot.

I sometimes feel heavy in my stomach and thirsty  after eating out.
I did not have such a  feeling  and was not thirsty after lunch.

Biryani is only available on Sunday,Tuesday and Thursday.
And you can buy some halal food there.
Please have a look at the below.

I had a halal miso ramen  on Saturday, April 2nd  in Sapporo, Japan.
The name of the restaurant  is Horyu.
Sapporo is famous for miso ramen.

It tasted good.
It was same as ordinary miso ramen I have had before.
I go out to have a ramen only  once or twice a year.
I have a instant noodle at home once or twice a month.
It means that I am not an expert at ramen.

I talked to the chef.
No pork,  No alcohol. This ramen was pretty good.
He said that I had a difficult time to make a good soup and taste without them.
But finally he made it.

There are three types of halal miso ramen.
I asked the waiter that which one you recommend?
“Genghis Khan miso ramen” he said.
So I ordered it.

Genghis Khan is lamb meat with special source.
Fried Genghis Khan tasted a little bit strong for me.
I like weaker one.
The soup and noodles tasted good.
I wanted to have all of soup, but I stopped,
because of the health point. I did not want to get too much salt.

Compared with other countries, Most of Japanese tends to get a lot of salt.
That causes hypertension, as you know.

This is my first blog about Japan in English.
