In June of the 3rd year of Reiwa, the Pork Cutlet Curry was priced at 830 yen, discounted from the regular price of 880 yen for a limited time. As it is a KYK Group restaurant, freshly fried pork cutlets were brought from the neighboring Delica KYK to the kitchen. It was the reliably delicious Pork Cutlet Curry as always.

When you're struggling with what to pack for your child's cram school lunch, this place comes in handy. They make it to order, so you can bring it while it's still hot and enjoy it. It's a curry restaurant, but they also have hayashi rice, and my son's favorite is the omurice with hayashi. Highly recommended for lunch boxes.

I visited the restaurant alone and had an early lunch. I had the Spring Vegetable Curry for 781 yen including tax, with a large serving of rice for an additional 120 yen. The curry sauce contains Shield Lactic Acid Bacteria® M-1 and is made with 8 types of spring vegetables such as rapeseed blossoms and bamboo shoots. It is a limited-time product that captures the arrival of spring. I added groseille and ear of rice as toppings. The curry was actually very beautiful, but I apologize for my poor photography skills. It was really delicious. Thank you for the meal!

The curry is really delicious.

I have been a regular customer at "San Marco" in Umeda and Sakai Higashi for a long time. It's convenient for takeout and dining in. I was in the area around 1 pm on a weekday, so I decided to visit the store. It is located on the 1st floor of Takashimaya in front of Sakai Higashi Station on the Nankai Koya Line, making it convenient and easy to access. The store has a takeout window and 8 counter seats, with 5 customers already there. I usually order the beef curry, but this time I opted for the healthy option of summer vegetable curry for 781 yen. The curry was served quickly, accompanied by delicious pickled cabbage. The summer vegetable curry was colorful and beautifully presented with 9 types of summer vegetables. The curry and rice had a nice balance of flavor, with a hint of spiciness that was enjoyable. The summer vegetables added a refreshing sweetness and texture to the meal. The side dishes like peanuts, pineapple, raisins, and pickled cucumber were also tasty. The spiciness gradually built up, causing me to sweat a bit towards the end. Despite being a fast-food style restaurant, the two female staff members provided excellent service. Overall, I had a great experience at "San Marco" and would recommend it for their classic curry dishes.

The commercial facility directly connected to Sakai East Station on the Nankai Koya Line, on the 1st floor of Sakai Takashimaya, has become one of Osaka's representative curry shops, along with "Indian" and "Piccolo". Just like other San Marco shops in the department store basement, it is located next to the takeout shop "KYK". Looking for a place to eat before work in Sakai East after 10 am, there are not many open shops at this time. At that time, I remembered this shop in Takashimaya in Sakai, so I came here. When viewed from the entrance of Takashimaya, there is first the shop of KYK, then the takeout shop of San Marco, and behind that is the eat-in area. There are about 10 counter seats in a U-shape, and it seems to share the kitchen with KYK. Inspired by the posters in the store, I ordered the Autumn Vegetable Curry (781 yen). After a bit of a wait, the Autumn Vegetable Curry was served. The vegetables included sweet potato chips, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, and chestnuts on top of the rice, making it truly autumnal. First, I took a spoonful of the curry. It has the taste of European-style curry, spicy yet not too hot. Moreover, it has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, with a solid richness, typical of San Marco's outstanding curry. You can understand why it is liked by people of all ages. The compatibility with each vegetable is also good. The other specialty, cabbage pickles, are as delicious as ever. In addition, San Marco's specialty is the 4 types of condiments: nuts, raisins, pineapples, and cucumber pickles. With these and the cabbage pickles, it resets the palate after eating the curry. I was able to finish my meal feeling satisfied. The curry here is probably prepared at a central kitchen, so the taste does not change at each store. It's a reliable taste. In addition, opening at 10:00 is convenient for me, with irregular working hours.

I visited the restaurant alone around 11 o'clock for lunch. I was planning to be the first one, but an elderly couple beat me to it (laughs). I ordered the Iberico pork and spinach curry for 900 yen including tax. The menu stated 901 yen including tax, but for some reason, I only paid 900 yen including tax. It was nice to have a variety of side dishes like pickled cabbage, peanuts, pineapple, raisins, and pickled cucumbers. The curry, personally, was a bit disappointing as it wasn't spicy enough for me. It would be great if there was something to adjust the spiciness. The restaurant specializes in European-style curry, using high-quality ingredients and spices to offer a unique curry experience. Thank you for the meal!

The eat-in area at the department store may not have any standout dishes, but there are also no disappointing options. I felt lazy to think about what to eat, so I entered here first. There are various toppings available, so you won't get bored. I enjoy watching the staff efficiently scoop rice and cut fried foods crisply for plating. The spiciness is mild, but strangely I don't feel unsatisfied. I prefer having a smaller portion of rice and topping it with shrimp fry.

When it comes to curry, it's San Marco! I also go to the one in Kitahanada Hankyu, but I often eat at this San Marco with my mother when we go shopping! I like the curry with spinach and poached egg in it! Also, cheese curry is good too! There are various toppings to enjoy, which is nice! I like to add raisins! For drinks, I always have the yogurt drink, lassi? I'm not sure if they still have it, but I used to drink it a lot! You can also take it to go, and sometimes my mother would bring it home for dinner! There are only counter seats, and the place to put your belongings is small, and the chairs are a bit uncomfortable if you're short, so I think they should improve that!

Today, I decided to get takeout from Takamashiya in Sakai East and when I looked at the menu, I found a great deal where you can choose between omurice with curry or hayashi. I chose omurice with curry, which turned out to be dry curry inside the omlette. The curry sauce seemed more like keema curry rather than the usual beef curry I was expecting. It was still easy to eat and had the familiar taste of San Marco's curry. Overall, it was decent, but I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting a more traditional curry flavor.

The aroma of spices wafting through the food floor at Takashimaya. Both eating in and taking out are available. I got the rich and mellow chicken curry for takeout. It came with plenty of food, so I ate it with extra rice. It's a spicy curry that I can't make at home, and it's a taste that makes me want to eat it again!
