Our story
Hiden means secret recipe.
We opened our tiny yellow curry lab at Coal Drops Yard in 2020, in the middle of lockdown. Today chef Hiroki Uda cooks the recipes he inherited from our co-founder from scratch every day, with our pickles fermented in-house.
Read the full story
The British brought curry to Japan in the Meiji era, and Japan made it its own: a rich, thick sauce, a little sweet, always with rice. Our first site was designed by Takagicapéran around shibui, the Japanese love of simple, unfussy beauty. Hiroki’s recipes come from our co-founder, Hideaki Yoshiyama, and everything is served on plates made by London artist Reiko Kaneko, with a side of omotenashi, the Japanese way of looking after people. In 2023 we opened our kissaten-style café on Stroud Green Road.
Christmas & groups
Feeding a crowd?
