# FORRESTER Spice & Music, Tokyo: Two Curries on One Plate in Nakameguro

![A long oval white plate with rice down the middle topped by shredded purple and white cabbage, a crumbly curry that looks like minced meat, with corn kernels and red and green pepper pieces, on the left, and a dark smooth curry on the right, with a small cup of chopped pink and green bits and a handled dish of tomato sauce at the top.](https://quidafoodie.blog/img/forrester-spice-and-music-nakameguro/forrester-spice-and-music-nakameguro-03-1440.jpg)
*The two-curry plate in April 2018: a crumbly curry with corn on the left, a dark curry on the right.*

FORRESTER Spice & Music (フォレスター) is a curry café and bar in Nakameguro, Tokyo, where in April 2018 I photographed a plate that holds two curries side by side. FORRESTER's own website describes a shop for curry and spice-themed dishes from around the world, built on the concepts *Spice and music* and *Spice of Life*.

## The Combination: two curries on one plate

In the cover photo, a long oval plate has white rice down the middle with a heap of shredded purple and white cabbage on top. On the left is a crumbly curry that looks like minced meat, with corn kernels and pieces of red and green pepper, and on the right a dark, smooth curry. Putting two curries on one plate is often called *aigake* in Japan. FORRESTER's website lists the curries singly and in pairs: Butter Chicken, Beef, Keema (minced meat) and Vegetable.

A Google reviewer in January 2025 likes that the two curries sit on either side of the rice and can be eaten without mixing. A Google reviewer in July 2025 says the keema curry at FORRESTER has sweet corn in it, which fits the corn in my photo.

*Another plate, with the curry split in two.*

On another plate, an orange curry with swirls of white cream and a piece of meat sits opposite a very dark brown curry with chunks of meat, with rice and shredded cabbage between them. The orange curry looks like the Butter Chicken.

*A handled dish of tomato sauce.*

The handled white dish holds red tomato sauce with round lumps that look like meatballs, topped with a crumbly white cheese-like dollop, dill-like sprigs and basil-like leaves. FORRESTER's current menu includes a dish called Meatball with Spices, but I can't tell from the photo whether the 2018 dish was the same.

## Curry, craft gin and music

*The chalk sign in April 2018.*

A round wooden board leaned against the wall with a green band chalked FORRESTER and, below it, OPEN, and a crack runs through the wood. Time Out Tokyo, in a March 2023 review, calls FORRESTER a relaxed café-bar for curry and craft gin, with about 100 craft and premium gins and a playlist built mainly on deep house. A Retty reviewer in November 2023 writes that FORRESTER opened in 2015.

## Before you go

- FORRESTER is in Room 201 of the Executive Daikanyama building. A Retty reviewer in March 2025 says the building faces Komazawa-dori, the shop is on the second floor, and the way up is a narrow staircase.
- A Retty reviewer in March 2026 says FORRESTER's weekly lunch special comes out more slowly than the curries.
- Retty lists credit cards and PayPay at FORRESTER.
