In today's interconnected world, global travel has become increasingly common. One of the first questions that often arises when stepping onto foreign soil is, "Where can I find a restaurant that serves cuisine from my home country?" However, for Indians travelling abroad, culinary choices are often abundant, with Indian restaurants seemingly present in every corner of the world. A post shared by タルカ TADKA (@indosyokudo_tadka) If you're an Indian traveller in Japan, consider visiting a unique South Indian joint in the city of Kyoto.
Setting itself apart from other Indian restaurants abroad typically run by Indians, this establishment, named 'Tadka,' is managed by two Japanese men. What distinguishes Tadka is that all its authentic South Indian dishes are crafted by Japanese cooks. A user named Prasanna Karthik introduced this Japanese South Indian fusion eatery on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) last year.
Ever since, Indians who drop in for a taste of home have been giving raving reviews for this quaint eatery. The Japanese proprietors of Tadka make biannual trips to Chennai to stay abreast of the evolving trends in South Indian culinary traditions. They diligently learn the intricacies of new dishes and incorporate them into their menu.
Karthik attests that the dosas and idlis served at Tadka are exceptionally soft and fluffy, rivalling those found in South Indian restaurants both in India and abroad. Interestingly, Tadka attracts more Japanese.
