Rojiura Curry Samurai

You’ll find Australia’s first Hokkaido soup curry restaurant down an unassuming laneway in Perth’s CBD just off Hay Street. Rojiura’s take on the soup curry, which originates from Sapporo Hokkaido, packs a day’s worth of vegetables into one bowl, with each dish featuring anywhere from 11 to 17 kinds of veggies. It’s completely up to you as to what else goes in the bowl, with Rojiura boasting one of the most customisable menus in town. Start by picking your curry – anything from the classic veggie to chicken Maryland or zangi (Hokkaido-style deep-fried chicken karaage) – then your soup base (regular, mild, coconut, vegan), your spice level (one is spicy and ten is flaming hot), your rice portion (small to large), and any extra toppings, which are all gluten-free. Wash it all down with a seasonal lassi, Yoichi wine or Japanese lager.
