00:00Now, it has become familiar to Japanese people, the authentic spice curry.
00:08The deep taste of various spices fascinates many people.
00:16When it comes to curry, it is often thought of as India, but Nepal, which is spread out on the banks of the Himalayan mountains, is also a great curry kingdom.
00:27And in Nepal, there are not only curry, but also a variety of dishes.
00:36This time, let me introduce you to a number of such Nepalese dishes.
00:43Biryani, the world of foreign food
00:57Dish Curry
01:10Now, it is a curry restaurant that you can find in many corners of the city.
01:16Did you notice that there is a sign saying Indian Nepalese food on the sign?
01:26Yes, these restaurants are run by Nepalese people.
01:34Nepal is an inland country between India and China.
01:40It is famous for having the Himalayan Mountains, known as Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
01:48That dish is certainly influenced by India, but it is a dish with its own tradition.
01:56Let me introduce you to its characteristics.
02:02Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture
02:05This city, where Gunma Prefecture is located, has a large number of educational institutions such as universities.
02:10Students from many countries, including Nepal, come here to study.
02:16Krimsan Restaurant & Bar
02:26The Krimsan Restaurant & Bar, which is famous for its authentic Nepalese food, is five minutes' walk from the south exit of JR Maebashi Station in the center of the city.
02:37The restaurant is packed with customers when it is time for lunch.
02:44Many Nepalese people come here for the taste of their hometown.
02:51I come here about 100 times a month.
02:55I come here once or twice a month.
02:59I come here twice or thrice a month.
03:04I come here once or thrice a month.
03:08The taste of the food is famous not only among Nepalese people, but also among Bangladeshi people.
03:18Mutton Biryani is a very popular Asian food.
03:24I come here many times.
03:27It is a very delicious food.
03:33The popular restaurant, Krimsan, is run by Mr. Thapa Sambu, a Nepalese.
03:41He came to Japan in 2005.
03:45At first, my friends came to Japan two or three years before I did.
03:53My friends invited me and told me that Japan was better.
03:58So I came to Japan.
04:01Japan is easy to live in and peaceful.
04:04There are many kind people around me, so I can live here for a long time.
04:10When I first came to Japan, I had a hard time finding the way to Japan.
04:14I didn't know how to get on the train.
04:17I didn't know how to shop.
04:19My friends explained everything to me.
04:23I think that's the best part of Japan.
04:25Even foreigners and Japanese don't discriminate.
04:30I think Japan is a country where you can live for a long time.
04:35Mr. Thapa opened this restaurant in 2020.
04:41It was a time when the world was suffering from the spread of the novel coronavirus.
04:47Why did he open the restaurant at that time?
04:52At that time, people couldn't go to work.
04:59There weren't many places to gather.
05:02I thought it would be nice to have a place where everyone could eat together.
05:10That's why I opened the restaurant.
05:13After coming to Japan from Nepal,
05:16I heard a lot of people say that they ate Nepalese food here for the first time.
05:24It is said that it is the restaurant's motto to provide the real taste of Nepal as it is in Japan.
05:34By the way, do you know the difference between Nepalese food and Indian food?
05:41After this, I will introduce you to the differences between the dishes of the two countries.
05:54There are two types of curry set at the Nepalese restaurant.
05:59Indian curry set and Nepalese curry set.
06:07At first glance, the difference is that the Indian-style curry set is cooked in a tandoor.
06:18On the other hand, the Nepalese curry set is cooked with rice.
06:24Curry is a Nepalese word for a solid meal.
06:30The side dishes include bean soup, daal, and pickled vegetables.
06:38And the curry, which is the main dish, is also a little different from the Indian style.
06:46Let's take a look at how to make Indian-style curry to introduce the differences between the two curries.
06:54This time, I will introduce chicken curry.
07:00First, heat the oil in a frying pan, add cumin and add the original paste.
07:11Next, add spices such as chili and garam masala.
07:17At the Nepalese restaurant, 12 types of spices are used.
07:24When the spices are mixed, add the seasoned chicken to the frying pan.
07:33Add special soup with vegetables and mix well.
07:42This must be delicious.
07:48After finishing with cream, put it on a plate.
07:57After transferring it to a plate, add plenty of cream to soften the taste.
08:04Finally, add herbs.
08:09The Indian-style curry set made by Mr. Kurimu is complete.
08:18How does it taste like to eat chicken curry with hot naan bread?
08:25Chicken curry and naan bread are delicious.
08:30It's delicious.
08:36Finally, let's introduce how to make Nepalese curry set, which is a menu that Mr. Kurimu is proud of.
08:47Naan curry set is for Japanese people, but curry set seems to be a little spicy.
09:01In Nepalese-style curry, spices such as chicken are used, and the curry is stewed for a day.
09:12Hmm, it looks spicy, but it looks delicious.
09:18This is a big difference from Indian-style curry, which uses chicken seasoned on that day.
09:26It doesn't look much different, but it seems that the chicken and curry are seasoned very thickly.
09:37It's delicious just to warm it up, but you can add more spices to your liking.
09:55Unlike Indian-style curry, there is no cream to soften the taste.
10:06Finally, add herbs to make it stand out.
10:13This is how Mr. Kurimu's curry is made, which Nepalese people are happy with the taste of their mother country.
10:26There is no choice for Japanese people.
10:30The Nepalese-style chicken curry is complete.
10:38Nepalese curry set tastes a little different from Indian-style curry.
10:46Well, how does it taste?
10:56It's delicious to eat with rice and curry.
11:02It's delicious to eat.
11:04It's a Nepalese culture, so I think it's delicious to eat at home.
11:11Mr. Kurimu's authentic Nepalese curry is said to be a little too strong for Japanese people.
11:18Why don't you compare it with Indian-style curry?
11:28Next, we will introduce you to the popular Nepalese-style yakisoba, chow mein.
11:35Nepalese-style yakisoba
11:40The Japanese-Nepalese Saaza Fukushi Association, which was formed by Nepalese living in Gunma Prefecture, including Mr. Tapa, who runs the Nepalese restaurant, Mr. Kurimu, is actively promoting interaction with Japanese people.
11:58In October 2024, Mr. Kurimu also went to Karakaze Park, a multicultural event held in Gunma Prefecture, Maibashi City, and offered various Nepalese dishes.
12:15Among them, the Nepalese-style yakisoba chow mein was popular.
12:22The most delicious part of this dish is that it has plenty of vegetables, chicken, and eggs, so I think it's a gentle taste and delicious.
12:35I made it with a weak taste to suit the taste of Japanese people as much as possible.
12:46I asked the person who attended the event about the taste.
13:00It's delicious.
13:03It's definitely different from Japanese yakisoba.
13:06It's delicious.
13:08I feel like I'm in another culture.
13:11I wanted to make it at home.
13:16Now, let me introduce you to the Nepalese-style yakisoba chow mein, which was also popular with Japanese people.
13:27The ingredients are vegetables, chicken, and eggs, such as cabbage and carrots.
13:34This is the same as Japanese yakisoba.
13:39First, add potato starch and eggs to the chicken and rub it well.
13:47When the chicken is seasoned, put it in a Chinese pot and stir-fry it over high heat.
13:54When the chicken is browned, add more eggs and mix with the chicken.
14:09When the eggs are cooked, add the spice paste and stir-fry the vegetables.
14:30At this time, the point is to leave the leeks and cabbages.
14:39When the vegetables are browned, stir-fry the Chinese noodles.
14:45Season with salt and spices.
14:52Add soy sauce for a hidden taste.
14:56Add the cabbage and leeks and mix.
15:10Finally, add hot sauce and ketchup.
15:15The place to add ketchup is different from Japanese yakisoba.
15:21When the sauce is well mixed with the ingredients and noodles, the chow mein is complete.
15:31It's very voluminous, but it's supposed to be one serving.
15:40Chow mein, a Nepalese-style yakisoba that is said to have been created by the influence of Tibet beyond the Himalayan mountains.
15:49Please try it once.
15:55Break time here.
15:57Please tell me about Nepalese alcohol.
16:00There are two types of beer.
16:03The first type is called Nepal Ice.
16:06This is a little softer.
16:09The second type is beer.
16:13This is Aruna.
16:15This is premium and a little spicy.
16:20This is one type of Suigyu.
16:26This is Higezake.
16:30What does Rokishi mean?
16:32Rokishi means soju.
16:35This is also a soju.
16:38This is a soju made from rice.
16:41This is also written in Aira.
16:44This is written in the words of the Nyawar people who live in Kashmandu.
16:54This is Sobazake.
16:57This is a soju made from buckwheat.
17:02This is also popular in Nepal.
17:08This is whiskey.
17:11It's called Old Darbar.
17:14The percentage of alcohol in this is 42.8.
17:20It's pretty high.
17:22Do you make whiskey in Nepal?
17:24Yes, I do.
17:25Is it popular?
17:26Yes, it is.
17:29This is rum.
17:32It's called Kukuli Rum.
17:34Kukuli means this mark.
17:37It's a sword.
17:40Two swords are stacked like this.
17:47This is a popular alcohol in Nepal.
17:55There are many kinds of alcohol in Nepal.
17:59Why don't you enjoy drinking alcohol with Nepalese food?
18:07Next, I'll introduce you to the popular Nepalese-style dumpling, Momo, which is easy to eat and delicious.
18:17Next, I'll introduce you to the popular Nepalese-style dumpling, Momo, which is easy to eat and delicious.
18:20Mr. Tapa, who runs the Nepalese restaurant Crim, also runs a department store next to the store.
18:30Here, many Nepalese people come to buy and sell ingredients and seasonings that are difficult to get in Japan.
18:42The food in Nepal is a little spicier than in Japan.
18:49It's spicy and sour, but it's not sold in supermarkets.
18:54It's only sold in Nepal.
18:57In addition to instant food and beans, which are popular in Nepal, the food made by Mr. Crim is also sold frozen.
19:07The most popular one is the Nepalese-style dumpling, Momo.
19:16Many people come to buy Momo.
19:19It's all handmade from start to finish.
19:25I make everything at home.
19:29Now, I'll introduce you to the popular Nepalese-style dumpling, Momo, which is the No. 1 menu of Mr. Crim.
19:40The filling of Momo is minced chicken, green onions, and coriander.
19:51The skin is cut into bite-sized pieces by kneading flour.
19:59The skin is quickly stretched with a cotton swab while sprinkling with potato starch.
20:07As expected, he is used to it, so the round skin is made one after another.
20:17Next, wrap the filling with the skin.
20:20Unlike Japanese dumplings, it is wrapped in a round shape, so it is similar to Xiaolongbao rather than dumplings.
20:31This dish is also said to have been transmitted from Tibet to Nepal, just like chow mein.
20:38Mr. Crim sometimes sells 200 to 300 pieces of Momo a day.
20:52After wrapping the filling, steam it in a steamer with water.
20:57Spread paper to prevent the bottom from sticking together and apply oil.
21:02It seems that this kind of effort is important to make the food delicious and beautiful.
21:14After closing the lid, steam it for about 10 minutes.
21:19Since the peach in the steamer is heated evenly, it is said to be steamed until it is fluffy and soft inside.
21:38Mr. Crim's proud dish, Momo.
21:43Mr. Crim's Momo is very popular with Nepalese people.
21:48It's Momo.
21:49I love Momo.
21:50I love it.
21:51I love Momo.
21:55In Nepal, when you eat Momo, it is said that it is very delicious.
22:02In Nepal, it is said that it is very delicious.
22:07In Nepal, when you eat Momo, it is said that it is recommended to eat it with ketchup because it is a little spicy.
22:24Mr. Crim's Momo is purchased by many people not only in the restaurant but also in the department store.
22:37Katiwada Nimes, who is studying in Japan, also loves Momo.
22:47It is said that he often eats Momo purchased by Mr. Crim at home.
22:58Now, let's see how to eat Momo.
23:03First, put the frozen Momo in a steamer with oil.
23:11After closing the lid, put the sauce on top of the lid and steam it for about 12 minutes.
23:20If you put the sauce on top of the lid, you can thaw it together, so it's two birds with one stone.
23:26After 12 minutes, check the condition of the steamed Momo with chopsticks.
23:33If it is steamed enough, take it out.
23:37It is said that it is the most delicious way to eat while it is hot.
23:44Mr. Katiwada, how about Mr. Crim's Momo?
23:50It is the best.
23:52How about you?
23:55It is the best.
23:58Momo is very delicious.
24:01It is much better than Mr. Crim's restaurant.
24:06Mr. Katiwada is studying tourism at a vocational school while working part-time.
24:13Nepalese students studying in Japan like him are increasing rapidly.
24:19The number of Nepalese living in Japan has increased five times in the past 10 years and has exceeded 200,000.
24:27But it seems difficult to study while working.
24:33I can't sleep here.
24:37I have to go to work.
24:40I can't eat on time.
24:43That's it. I'm fine now.
24:46Mr. Katiwada, who is away from his family and working alone, is encouraged by the taste of his hometown Nepal.
24:53Is it delicious?
24:55Yes, it is delicious.
24:57Mr. Tapa started a restaurant and a food corner to support the same Nepalese.
25:07I think it is a little difficult for foreigners to find a job.
25:16But if you improve your Japanese skills, you will definitely have a future.
25:23Please do your best.
25:26Mr. Crim, a Nepalese restaurant that was created with the idea of providing delicious food and a place to rest for the juniors who work hard in Japan.
25:39The food is filled with the joy of working in Japan and the love for Nepal.
