Ethiopia Curry Jinbocho

Legendary Tokyo curry house since 1988, famous for intensely spiced chicken and vegetable curries.

Ethiopia is a beloved curry institution in Jinbocho, Tokyo's famous bookstore district, serving fiery Japanese-style curry since 1988. Despite its name, the restaurant serves distinctly Japanese curry with an emphasis on intense spice levels—ranging up to 70x heat. The rich, dark curry is slow-cooked for days, creating a complex depth of flavor. The scholarly, retro atmosphere perfectly fits the intellectual neighborhood.
