On August 15th (Saturday), I was in charge of cooking for lunch as usual, but today my wife was absent as she went out for lunch with her friends from her college days. Since I was eating alone, I decided to eat out. So, I chose the second largest curry chain in Japan after CoCo Ichibanya, which originated in Kanazawa, called "Go Go Curry." What is Kanazawa curry? Kanazawa curry is defined by a stainless steel plate, shredded cabbage, tonkatsu with sauce, thick curry roux, and eating with a fork. In Tokyo, there are many "Go Go Curry" restaurants, and when I was working in Tokyo, I was interested in trying it but never got the chance. I thought, "There are no Go Go Curry restaurants in Kansai..." and when I looked it up recently, I found one in Uji. Interestingly, there are stores in Hyogo, but none in Osaka. The restaurant I visited this time is located near Kintetsu Kyoto Line's "Okubo Station," but it is not very noticeable. I parked my car in the restaurant's parking lot and arrived a little after opening hours, around 11 am. When I entered the store... unexpectedly, there were only about 10 counter seats! "Oh, it's already full!" Moreover, there was already a line of three people waiting inside the store. I purchased a "Katsu Curry Economy Size (medium)" (700 yen during Go Go Time) from the ticket vending machine while waiting. After about 10 minutes, I handed the food ticket to the counter and waited. More and more customers kept coming in, and there was a line forming both inside and outside the store! Surprisingly, this store is quite popular! The katsu was fried after receiving the order. The crispy katsu was cut and served with plenty of shredded cabbage. It had a good volume. I topped it with plenty of fukujinzuke, and first took a bite of the thin katsu. It was crispy and went well with the sweet sauce. The curry was slightly sweet, but had a bit of spiciness afterwards... It was just delicious! When eaten together with the shredded cabbage, the cabbage and the curry sauce matched perfectly! You can have refills of cabbage. The portion was quite generous, and all this for 700 yen is cheap! For me, the "Healthy Size" (small) was more than enough. After sweating a bit, I finished eating and felt full! I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal. By the time I left the restaurant, there were more than 10 people in line inside and outside the store! I wish this restaurant would open in Osaka too!
