However, I made a stop in Hotarugaike, Toyonaka for some Nepali food after the game, and I thought I would share a couple of pictures from the meal.
First, the restaurant:

I don't know if it's just my personal experience, but it seems like Nepali restaurants are far more predominant in Japan than Indian restaurants, although the food served at the two are for the most part similar, focusing on curries, naan and tandoori chicken. A quick glance at the menu revealed that this restaurant also had larger hot pot meals for couples and groups, but my friend and I weren't hungry enough to consider one of those.
Instead, we had Nepali style vegetable curry and Indian style seafood curry. (The Indian one is in the back.)
We also ordered butter naan and cheese naan to scoop it up with, and look at the size of the butter naan they brought us!
It's hard to get a sense of proportion from this photo, but I'm telling you the thing was huge!
The meal was great, with the exception of the cheese naan (not pictured here), which for some inexplicable reason was very sweet, thus rendering it useless as a complement to the curry.
For the rest of you living in Japan, have you noticed the Nepali restaurant trend too, or is it just me?
Anyway, that's all today. Happy eating everyone.
