Things to Enjoy in Matsumoto City, Other Than the Castle
Trying Curries from Four Countries at Matsumoto Meeyau!
This was my first time trying Meeyau, Matsumoto’s famous ethnic curry restaurant. I went to the station-front branch, which had only just opened in December 2021. (Apparently it’s the first franchise location in Matsumoto.)
The menu is all-you-can-eat curry only! There are 9 varieties in total.
Here was the lineup that day:
- Thai-style dry curry
- Thai-style green curry
- Thai-style red curry
- Sri Lankan-style beef curry
- Indian-style pork curry
- Indian-style chicken curry
- Thai-style pineapple curry
- Japanese curry
- Japanese white stew
What an amazingly varied spread!
You serve everything onto a flat plate, but since most of these curries probably weren’t originally meant to be eaten that way, it was actually pretty tricky, haha.
For my first plate, I mostly went with the Indian and Sri Lankan curries, plus the Thai-style dry curry. The Indian chicken curry was so spicy it made me cry.
The Thai curries were delicious too. Ginger, maybe? They had a really distinctive flavor. Thanks for the meal!
The emergency staircase at the nearby Alpico Plaza is wonderful too, so why not check that out as well?
