北海道來的湯咖喱。自由選擇湯頭，配料和辣度。喜歡日式咖哩的朋友不妨一試。Interesting soup curry from Sapporo.Level of spiciness available.A good option for Japanese curry fans. Soup & Curry:This is a small shop tucked away at the end of Gough Street. There are about 20 seats in total. They specialized in a type of Japanese curry called "Soup" curry. As the name suggests, it is somewhere between soup and curry. Imagine a bowl of minestrone with two scoops of Japanese curry. It's a specialty of Sapporo city. I've tried this at Sappo

Interesting soup curry from Sapporo.
Level of spiciness available.

I've tried this at Sapporo Chitose Airport and really liked it. So I'm happy that there is finally one specialist shop in Hong Kong.
Level of spiciness:
You could choose the level of spiciness. It's from 0 (not spicy) to 30.The friendly waitress said that level 30 was equivalent to adding a whole bottle of chili oil in the broth. Apparently suitable for those who could eat raw chili with rice. Level 20 was like adding 1/2 a bottle of chili oil.
I admit I was fazed by her and did not go for level 30. I went for level 20.
I chose prawn broth and "marathon chicken" which I believe is the "original" recipe.
You could choose to have it with udon or rice. I choose rice.
The Draught Sapporo behind me was extremely tempting. However, as it was lunchtime on a weekday, I refrained.

With much anticipation, I tried the level 20 broth, which should contain 1/2 a bottle of chili oil...
To my slight disappointment (but relief), it was not as hot as I had hoped it to be. It was similar to the normal fruity type of Japanese curry with a bit of a kick. The prawn taste was not extremely pronounced (don't expect it to be like the prawn broths in Torimen or Singaporean prawn noodles) but there was still a lovely, mild aftertaste which added some complexity to the curry broth.
The vegetables were fresh and crunchy. I believe those were imported from Japan.
The chicken thigh was big and tender with decent chicken taste.
Some of us had udon. The udon looked a bit strange to me but my friends liked it. I suggest that they serve the udon (and the rice) in a bowl instead of on a plate. That makes it easier to put the contents into the soup curry.
I choose rice. The rice could have been less watery but it was still not bad. I enjoyed mixing the rice into the soup curry.
The tempura ($30) on the other hand was not good. The batter was too thick and oily. The prawns were not fresh at all. Not recommended.

It's $88 for marathon chicken plus 10% service charge. I was quite happy about the whole experience.
I later returned and finally tried level 30 with prawn broth!
