About this spot
珈琲屋 置時計 serves some of Nankinmachi (Chinatown)'s best curry — the kind of rich, deeply satisfying meal that locals line up for but tourists walk right past. Japanese curry is its own thing — thick, sweet, savory, usually served over rice with a crispy cutlet on top.
💡 Tips before you go
- Most curry shops have a ticket machine at the door — just pick the photo that looks good
- Spice level 3-4 is "normal" on most scales. Start there.
- Lunch sets (ランチ) are usually the best deal — curry + salad + drink
Common Questions
Where is 珈琲屋 置時計?
It's in Nankinmachi (Chinatown), Kobe.
Do I need to speak Japanese?
There's no English menu at most places, but don't let that stop you. Most dishes have photos on the menu or plastic models in the window, and pointing works perfectly.
What should I order?
Go with the house specialty — it's usually the first option on the menu or ticket machine. Katsu curry (with the fried cutlet) is the crowd favorite.
