The tonkatsu + curry set and the chicken nanban set ✨💛💛 both of them are my absolute favorites 🥹💦 hahaha

## 100-hour-aged curry and the side dishes

Daidokoro's curry is genuinely the flavor I love — it's aged for 100 hours so the taste is deep and rich, and there's an adorable soft-boiled egg on top ✨❤

There's a nice variety of side dishes too, and the potato croquette + milk pudding are seriously, seriously delicious 🥺💛💛

## Chicken karaage and butter soy sauce rice from another visit

This is the chicken karaage I had on a different day — the butter soy sauce rice (add ₩1,500) that goes with it is honestly the highlight
