First Anime Themed Restaurant in Nepal


Here’s a twist among the mushrooming restaurants and service industry in the valley. We’ve heard about a lot of Japanese restaurants. We love our Japanese restaurants, don’t we? And yes, some of them are exceptionally good with the authentic taste. Take Koto or Momotarou for example. But here’s what makes Kyubi’s Kitchen situated at Jhamiskhel different. It’s anime themed.  
I was up for Japanese food, sure, I mean, who wouldn’t be? But I was also curious about the theme. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no big anime fan here, to be honest, I barely watch any; I was curious because this was different take on Japanese restaurants. What caught my attention from the moment we stepped inside were the big art on the walls created intricately, I might add. It instantly gave you the vibes that you were somewhere else. Kyubi’s kitchen is divided into separate rooms, making it possible to hang out with a large group of friends. 
As if I were not excited enough from the art, what heightened the vibes were the accessories there. The scroll menu, the drinks menu, the cushion with the Naruto logo, the Katana sword, it is enough to blow anyone away. 


I was kind of skeptical at first, what if this place had focused on being different solely based on the theme and the food was maybe not that good? But I was wrong and I’m glad I was. From an array of different Japanese delicacies, we chose for the Ramen where you could choose everything. 
-          The broth

-          The type of meat

-          The type of noodles

-          The veggies

-          The toppings
Did I mention you could choose everything? One should definitely go for the ramen here. You know what? Make it two: that ramen bowl would be enough for two.
Besides the ramen choices, they have a lot to offer. One of the most popular dishes here is their set. Fit for a large group, it offers different delicacies like momos, sushi and such on one platter. 
I was also taken aback to see that the staff greeted us with our meals in Japanese clothing; impressed to see that they were taking their theme one step further. And the food was delicious. Even for someone who does not really watch anime, like me, this place was more than interesting, I can only imagine, how it would feel like for someone who watches anime, to know all those characters on the walls, to relate to whatever the restaurant is trying to bring. So go ahead, visit the first anime themed Japanese restaurant in Kathmandu and enjoy the food to your heart’s content.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...

Baklava in Kathmandu

  Baklavas are considered the Mount Everest of pastry making and what better delight than to know that they are, now, available here in the country that Mount Everest is situated? TazaTreats, newly initiated by Taza brings to you this delicacy. A fine treat with walnuts or pistachios in layers coated with sugar, Baklavas are an explosion of flavor in your mouth. A dessert from the Middle East, first brought in from the Turkish or Greek heritage, Baklavas are a new thing in Nepal. But you’d be more than happy to know that the taste is something that would fit well with the Nepali palate. Baklavas are slowly gaining attention around the valley. I see that more and more people have been trying them out. And they come in these beautiful handcrafted boxes, making the experience even more worthwhile. When we first got a box, after clicking enough pictures, of course, I had to inky pinky my way to choose which Baklava I should go for first. They’re just right for sharing or surprisi...
