Hasegawa

A daily-special pork loin cutlet curry is one of the familiar meals at Hasegawa (はせ川), a Japanese restaurant in Morishita, Koto City: the cutlet is fried until crisp, and the curry sauce is mild and sweet. The curry comes in a moderate portion, alongside miso soup and four kinds of pickles. Diners can add a little sauce as they go, adjusting the flavour to their taste.

Beyond curry, the menu includes straightforward, old-fashioned set meals, among them a fragrant grilled fish-belly set and other fish dishes. Many of the set meals are moderately priced and filling, making them practical choices for an everyday lunch or dinner.

There is table seating in a calm setting, which also suits a quick meal on your own. Hasegawa serves lunch, and at dinner offers alcoholic drinks such as beer, making it an option for a set meal with a drink on the side.
