Ojima 6-12-11, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
A halal food grocery one minute from Ojima Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line, run by an owner from Mumbai. Sells spices, beans and other Indian ingredients; the same operation also runs a cafe-and-restaurant outlet in the Ojima area.
Tokyo's South Asian food is dominated by a specific format: a Nepali-run kitchen serving a largely North Indian menu, built around a weekday lunch set of curry, enormous naan and a small salad. It is so consistent that it is effectively its own genre. Underneath it sits a smaller, more interesting layer of genuinely Nepali cooking, and a handful of serious regional Indian restaurants.
