It's about a 10-minute walk from JR Fukushima Station. For lunch today, I had katsu curry at this place called Joeto Curry. It was my first visit, and when I entered the restaurant, there was a ticket machine on the left. It accepts not only 1000 yen bills but also 10000 yen bills and 5000 yen bills, which is convenient. I ordered katsu curry with a raw egg. The curry is not too spicy, so it's easy to eat. The katsu was also big and satisfying. I would like to visit again! 🍛

I have been here many times, but this is my first time writing a review! The curry here is the best, enjoyed in a calm atmosphere! I love the lingering taste of the spices! When I came back after a while, I was surprised to find out that I could now use electronic money! The ticket machine has also been renewed! It's great that I can now use it even without cash!

Today, I visited Fukushima Joto Curry for the first time in over 15 years. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was almost full. I ordered the Tonkatsu Curry, which brought back memories, for 1000 yen. When I sat down, water and a raw egg yolk were served, just like back in the day. The taste of the Tonkatsu Curry was just as delicious as I remembered.

I didn't have many opportunities to go, but I decided to join in when someone suggested going to Upperechelon Curry for lunch. The pork cutlet curry was 1000 yen! It's expensive. The place near my house sells it for 760 yen! Truly the main branch. Does it have a premium feel? The taste was a slightly spicy regular curry, the pork cutlet was hot and delicious, but it was a bit underwhelming for the price. Pickled radish and mixed vegetables were all-you-can-eat. The pickled radish was large and you could feel the attention to detail. And I was unsure when to add the egg. During lunch, two people were working, but there was a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere between them. Visiting the main branch, the memories are priceless, so maybe it's worth going once.

I realized that I had never posted about my visits to Jo-to Curry Main Store, which I have been coming to since it first opened. It used to be very popular, with both lunch and dinner times bustling with customers, but now it feels more relaxed compared to the past. Located near the Naniwa-suji street in the north direction of Fukushima Station on the Osaka Loop Line, close to the Symphony Hall. For some reason, the order rate for Katsu Curry is 99%. It has become a tradition to put a raw egg yolk on top of the katsu on the curry and eat it. Recently, I noticed that many customers around me prefer Ebi Fry (fried shrimp) and Katsu Curry with cheese topping. The curry is around medium spicy and easy to eat, with a taste that makes you want to come back again.

This was my first visit to Joto Curry. I was torn between choosing Toku Masu Udon and curry, but I wanted to eat curry so I chose this place. I ordered curry with tonkatsu and cheese toppings, and opted for extra rice. By presenting my Times Card, I was able to get extra rice or extra curry, so I chose extra curry since I already had extra rice. Thanks to that, my stomach was satisfied and I left feeling content. Thank you for the meal.

The spiciness is mild and easy to eat. It's actually on the sweeter side. It saved me from becoming a lunch refugee near the training center. It comes with a raw egg yolk. You can also have unlimited helpings of Fukujinzuke and rakkyo. Thank you for the meal. #JotoCurry #Curry #lunch

An Osaka-based European-style curry chain! The taste is consistent and the service is fast. When you feel like having a light European-style curry, it's very convenient. It's not as spicy as Indian curry, more like a sweet and savory flavor. It's smooth with eggs. Easy-going!

On the night when I went to Osaka for Bruno Mars' Japan tour, after being turned away from all the places I had researched, my excitement began to wane and my hunger reached its peak. Just then, I caught a whiff of a delicious smell coming from this restaurant. Why is the smell of curry so enticing? I was lured in by the aroma and ended up ordering a standard curry after some hesitation. I couldn't help but think maybe I should have gone for the tonkatsu curry instead. But as soon as I took a bite, I found it to be thick and rich, with the sweetness of the vegetables coming through. As I continued eating, a slight peppery kick added to the enjoyment. On a Sunday night in Osaka, with no one else in the restaurant, we had a comfortable time discussing Bruno Mars' concert.

After finishing work at Osaka Fukushima Station, I took a break and realized I was hungry. I walked around and found a curry restaurant, Aljano Fukushima Curry. I decided to try their Katsu Curry, which came with a raw egg. The spiciness was mild, so even without the egg, it was still enjoyable. They also served delicious pickles and radish. I really enjoyed the meal. I love the taste here. The main branch is definitely worth visiting. I will come back again.

Around 12 o'clock, I visited the curry rice specialty shop "Curry Rice Specialty Shop Joto Curry (Main Store)" alone. It is within walking distance from JR Osaka Loop Line Fukushima Station. This curry rice shop is operated by the company Tokumasa Co., Ltd., famous for its curry udon. - Curry Rice: 800 yen - Cheese Curry: 900 yen - Tonkatsu Curry: 1,000 yen - Pork Cutlet Cheese Curry: 1,100 yen - Shrimp Fry Curry: 1,200 yen - Consomme Soup: 120 yen - 3 pieces of Shrimp Fry: 400 yen - Cheese Topping: 100 yen - Extra Large Portion: 200 yen - Extra Curry Sauce: 200 yen [Food Received] - Pork Cutlet Cheese Curry: 1,100 yen First impressions are important. The dish has a generous amount of rice topped with a thick pork cutlet, giving it a substantial volume. The taste of the curry sauce is interesting. Initially, you will notice a strong sweetness, followed by a hidden hint of acidity, which adds depth to the sweetness. The spiciness of the spices emerges at the end. It has a complex flavor profile that is neither Western nor Indian, but uniquely Japanese. It was very delicious. [Overall Impression] There are many curry specialty shops, but this one offers a unique curry that stands out from the rest. It was a delicious curry that makes you want to come back for more. Thank you for the meal. #Curry #CurryRice #OsakaCurry #OsakaCurryRice #FukushimaCurry #FukushimaCurryRice #Gourmet #OsakaGourmet #FukushimaGourmet

On busy days when I want to have a quick lunch in this area, I love going to Joeten Curry. It's a chain restaurant so I have many opportunities to eat there, and the customers are usually spread out so lunch goes smoothly. Osaka curry, which you can't find in Tokyo. I also sometimes go to the Akihabara branch, I think I really like this place. The variety of flavors in curry is so wide that each restaurant has its own charm. It was delicious.

That evening marked the final night of the project where Yasujiro Iimori and the Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra performed all of Bruckner's symphonies. Before the Symphony Hall opened, we decided to have dinner. There were various restaurants in the area, but we settled on this one. The fact that it was a Friday also played a role in our decision. We bought a tonkatsu curry meal ticket at the entrance ticket machine and took a seat at the counter. As soon as we handed over the ticket, we were served with water and a raw egg. While confirming the pickles and jar-pickled vegetables, we moistened our throats with water. Soon, we could hear the sound of crispy tonkatsu being cut. After a while, a plate with plenty of curry sauce was served. We scooped up a bite of tonkatsu, curry sauce, and rice with a spoon, and the perfect blend of spices in the curry sauce spread in our mouths. We then added the raw egg yolk on top of the tonkatsu, spreading it over the cutlet, enhancing the flavor even more. We continued to enjoy the deliciousness without getting tired, spoon after spoon. It was a delightful meal.

This is my first time at this restaurant. I decided to come for lunch because the main branch is nearby (in Fukushima). They opened at 11:00 and there were already quite a few customers. The pork cutlet was crispy and delicious. It was nice that it came with an egg. I really enjoyed the meal.

I was so hungry! After 6 and a half years, I returned to the main store and immediately forgot the cheese. Then I poured the roux on top. With extra toppings, it was delicious! Consomme soup, pork cutlet with cheese curry, 3 pieces of fried shrimp, and extra curry sauce.

I went to the main branch of Joet Curry. I like sweet and spicy curry, and I go to Joet Curry in various places, but I don't have many opportunities to visit the main branch. However, it is really delicious. The fruity sweetness of the first bite followed by the gradually increasing spiciness is just to my liking.

This is a memo. This shop has made a significant impact on the curry scene in Osaka. The cost is high but the performance is great. The curry sauce is on the sweeter side but still spicy, and the cutlet is freshly fried! It goes perfectly with cheese! They may have been the ones who created the era of paying 1000 yen for curry!

I visited the main store this time after having a good impression when I went to a different branch once. The service was fast, and I could eat right away, which led to a high turnover rate! It was past 2 pm, but only about 20% of the seats were occupied. I purchased a ticket at the vending machine and also ordered a consomme soup. I ordered a simple curry without any toppings. Although there were no visible ingredients, the curry had a rich flavor and I quickly finished it. It's a simple but high-quality curry. Thank you for the meal.

☑️ Retro and stylish counter A little walk from Fukushima Station towards the Sky Building, I actually went there for the first time without knowing it was a chain. Intrigued by the name "Joto Curry," I decided to go in. --- ⚫️ Pork Cutlet Curry It's really old-fashioned, almost like something that would be served at a "coffee shop" rather than a "cafe." The highlight is the egg yolk that comes with all the curries. Other than the cutlet, there weren't any standout ingredients, and honestly, I felt like it was a bit overpriced at 1,000 yen. --- If you want to enjoy curry in a retro atmosphere, definitely give it a try! Thank you for the meal. --- *Introducing delicious restaurants recommended for people in their 20s and 30s centered around Fukushima* I would be extremely happy if you follow, like, comment, save, etc. Requests for restaurants or areas are also very welcome. #JotoCurry #Curry #CurryRice #FukushimaGourmet #FukushimaLunch #FukushimaCurry #Hotarog_Fukushima #Hotarog_Curry #Hotarog_Lunch #Hotarog_EverydayUse #Hotarog_SoloDining #GourmetInstagram #WantToConnectWithFoodies #OsakaGourmet #FoodieGuys #WalkingFoodBlog #SupportingRestaurants #Hotarog #FoodBlog
