A taste of Shinshu's wilderness, brought to life through authentic Nepalese spices.
Prepared by our Nepalese staff, this signature curry showcases locally grown vegetables, mountain ingredients, and wild boar sourced from the surrounding region. Slowly simmered with traditional spices, it offers a rich depth of flavor balanced by warmth and complexity.
The robust character of the game meat and the aromatic spices create a memorable dish that reflects both the natural bounty of Shinshu and the culinary heritage of Nepal.
