A Casual Stop at Matsuya: Discovering Authentic Indian Flavors on the Official Menu
Whenever you spot its familiar sign around town, it is hard to resist dropping by Matsuya. With convenient mobile ordering, it is a dependable go-to spot where you can quickly enjoy a delicious meal whenever the craving strikes.
While browsing Matsuya's official website, a striking visual of an authentic Indian curry immediately caught my eye. With its deep green sauce reminiscent of Indian Palak Paneer, I couldn't help but wonder what it tasted like—so I excitedly headed to the nearest store.
Rich Spices and Deep Flavor! Spinach and Cottage Cheese Curry (780 Yen Incl. Tax)
The tray served before me featured the striking green curry alongside glossy white rice, miso soup, and a side of potato salad. I ordered the "Spinach and Cottage Cheese Curry" (regular size, 780 yen incl. tax). For this visit, I used a 50-yen discount coupon from the official app, along with a coupon for a free potato salad.

The bowl was generously filled with a thick, deep-green sauce topped with crumbles of white cottage cheese. Scooping up a spoonful, the rich umami and gentle sweetness distinct to spinach spread softly across my palate. A pleasant warmth of aromatic spices soon followed, neatly tying the flavors together. The topping of cottage cheese added a light, creamy richness with a subtle tang, creating a wonderful balance against the spice. While delivering authentic spice notes, it is expertly tailored to pair with Japanese white rice, making it so appetizing that each bite leaves you craving another.
