“Hi there Zack. You texted me?”

“Maya, hi. I did. You’ve been lying on me! You told me that Japanese curries are mild and inoffensive, when they’re not at all.”

“I wasn’t lying. Japanese curries ARE mild. You won’t find any milder in any other country, at least not in Asia. I can’t speak for Europe.”

“What about Coco Ichibanya?”

“Oh.”

“Exactly. You never told me about their spice level. ”

“Yes, you’re right! Completely slipped my mind. It goes from —”

“— from 1 to 20. We went there last weekend, to the franchise near our train station. I must have walked past it countless times and never once thought to go in.”

“I guess it’s got that family chain restaurant feel. I’m not a big fan of curry, but every now and then I tag along with my husband to Ichibanya. I never have anything too spicy — I suppose you’d say I don’t beat the stereotype! But he loves his curry.”

“What spice level does he order?”

“It’s usually in the high digits, never spicier than 10. And you? Where did you land?”

“I’m rather pedestrian, so I opted for 5. Joseph wanted to show off and try 15, but they wouldn’t let him!”

“What? Did they think he was a kid?”

“That wasn’t it. They said he had to have tried 10 first. They were willing to take his word for it, but he couldn’t lie; this was his first time at Coco Ichibanya. So he said, fine, I’ll try 10. But then they said he had to have tried 5 first!”

“No!”

“Yes! So in the end, we both had 5, which was kind of spicy but definitely left us wanting more. Next time, we qualify for 6 to 10.”

“I think I know where you’re going next weekend.”
