Tabelog ratingFuture Curry Koris (未来カレー こりす) is a small, one-person curry shop in Sapporo that has earned a loyal following for its distinctive take on Indian classics. The owner cooks every dish to order, resulting in dense, rich curries that are more Japanese than traditionally Indian in style. The real standout for many visitors, however, is the house-baked bread: served piping hot with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy inside, it's often described as a game-changer for the meal.
Guests consistently praise the generous portions and deep flavours. The butter chicken is a frequently mentioned favourite, noted for being bountiful and well-balanced, with reviewers recently paying around ¥1,078. The lamb and spinach curry (around ¥1,100) is another popular choice. The bread, which is sometimes complimentary with a weekday lunch set, is a must-order; reviewers paid ¥275 for the plain version and around ¥605 for an indulgent cheese-filled one.
The main drawback is the service speed. As a one-man operation, waits of 20 to 60 minutes are common, and a few customers have reported leaving before being served. Service can be brusque, and popular items like the bread or rice can sell out, so arriving early is a good idea. A handful of reviews also mention minor cleanliness issues. Despite these points, most agree that the quality of the food represents excellent value, with a typical meal costing between ¥1,000 and ¥1,999.
