Sama

Sama is a restaurant in Shimokitazawa that serves Japanese-style soup curry with chicken and vegetables. Customers choose a tomato, coconut, or shrimp base and ingredients such as chicken, hamburg steak, or pork, and adjust the spice level from 0 to 30, the amount of rice, and toppings. At around 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday, seating was immediate but a line formed soon after, and the shop has about 14 seats, so arriving early is safer. The seating is cramped.
