When I had a meeting in Osaka, a local friend asked me if I liked curry. They suggested trying Joto Curry, known for its deliciously sweet and spicy curry. I ended up loving it and couldn't resist the amazing taste. It's a flavor that I crave from time to time, and it never disappoints!

Actually, I was planning to go to a different restaurant when I stumbled upon Joto Curry. Even though I wasn't in the mood for curry, it looked delicious so my partner and I decided to give it a try. We ordered the pork cutlet curry and curry udon with cheese and egg toppings. I was surprised by the portion size. It was more than what a woman can eat haha. The curry udon came with rice, so we could also enjoy curry rice, which was incredibly delicious.

The outdoor sign is broken, so please fix it soon. The curry itself was delicious, but it was like old Osaka curry - sweet with flour in it, and the cutlet was thin. I hope both the curry and the interior will evolve. The place is quite busy and only run by two people. If we don't evolve, we won't be able to pay the two people's salaries. It's no longer that time.

Spicy curry. It's delicious. Curry is delicious everywhere. But, spicy, with a kick, and a nice sweetness... all the flavors come together, it's delicious. I finished eating it in no time.

I was recommended to try the delicious curry at Ujyoto Curry in Shibuya. The system involves buying tickets from a vending machine before ordering at the counter. The cozy retro-style interior has a calm atmosphere. I decided to try the most popular dish, the katsu curry. It arrived quickly and was larger than I expected for the price. The first bite had a sweet taste, followed by a bit of spiciness. If you prefer more heat, you can add the "extra spicy" seasoning. The katsu was cut into smaller pieces, making it easy to eat with just a spoon. I also tried the "extra bright" curry, which was quite good. The side of fukujinzuke and the cabbage pickles were delicious, especially the cabbage pickles which paired perfectly with the curry. I look forward to trying other menu items and toppings next time.

When I lived in Osaka, I used to frequent the curry udon restaurant called "Curry Udon Tokusei" and its affiliated locations. In Tokyo, they have branches in Shibuya, Akihabara, Kasumigaseki Building, Iidabashi, and Shin-Okubo. Their specialty is the "sweet at first, followed by spiciness, and adding an egg enhances the richness, making it addictive with its three-stage attack." The first bite may seem sweet, but soon the spiciness spreads and leaves a lingering aftertaste. Today, I tried their most popular dish, the "tonkatsu curry" with cheese topping (1,140 yen). While waiting for my order, I noticed a sign at the counter suggesting to "try adding bright to the curry." Yes, it's the same as adding bright to coffee. Indeed, it makes the curry creamy without cooling or diluting the coffee, which should complement the hot curry. The taste becomes mellow and creamy. Perhaps the day will come when adding bright to curry becomes as common as sprinkling powdered cheese on spaghetti.

Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. This is the Shibuya main store of the beef curry chain "Fukushima Joto Curry," which is based in Osaka and has around 30 stores in the prefecture. The business is run by Tokyo's curry udon veteran "Tokumasa" Corporation. As of July 2023, in the Kanto region, there is the "Joto Curry Shibuya Main Store," as well as stores in Akihabara, Kasumigaseki, Iidabashi, Shin-Okubo, Yokohama, and Koshigaya. The specialty is the "Tonkatsu Curry" ♪︎ ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ On a weekend at noon, I visited Joto Curry after a long time. Last time was at the Neyagawa store (now closed). There were many customers before and after me. There were three staff members. They have a touch panel ticket machine. There are also table seats, but mostly counter seats in front of the kitchen φ(..)◆Today's Order◆ Tonkatsu Curry 990 yen It's been a while, so I'll have the most popular tonkatsu curry. In Tokyo, pork curry is mainstream, but in Osaka, beef curry is still the favorite. On top of that, there are thinly cut tonkatsu pieces fried after ordering ♪ The curry has a sweet fruity taste ♪ It's similar to Vermont Curry if you buy it at the store. Most of the sweetness comes from onions. It also contains beef fat, giving it a rich flavor. The spices are well blended too ♪ The spiciness slowly comes afterwards (*´-`) However, a woman in her 50s sitting across from me kept adding the "Karami Joto" spice on the table (^_^;) She kept shaking the can from the beginning to the end of the meal. I wonder what kind of taste she has (´･ω･`; ) It has a different deliciousness compared to CoCo Ichibanya or the C&C that I often visit. The number of stores in the Kanto region seems to be struggling, but I quite like it (人´ з`*)♪ #Forehead #FromOsaka #CurryExplorationTeam #PopularStore #TonkatsuCurry #ShoAikawa #MuhammadAli #KaramiJoto #Tonkatsu #TakeoutAvailable #MeijiStreet #LikelihoodOfRevisitingHigh (including other stores)

I came here for the first time in 10 years. I ordered my favorite Cheese Katsu Curry. Unlike Nino-ya, it wasn't overly sweet at first, but had a rich, sweet and savory sauce that made my mouth happy. This curry is delicious after all. The katsu was also freshly fried and juicy, truly exquisite. Thank you for the meal!

I really wanted to eat katsu curry for lunch in Shibuya, so I went to look for it! When I entered the restaurant, there was a small counter and tables in the back. No one greeted me or showed me where to sit, so I was a bit confused. It turned out that you had to buy a meal ticket first. I was seated at a cramped counter where I was practically rubbing shoulders with the person next to me. There was no space to put my newly bought donuts and umbrella. It's not a good place to go if you have a lot of baggage. The restaurant was constantly full of people coming in. Is it a popular place or just because of the location? I decided to go all out and ordered the tonkatsu cheese curry with extra curry sauce made from premium pork for 1340 yen. It arrived in less than 5 minutes, which was surprising! I don't like waiting, so I was happy. The curry was sweeter than I expected, with a fruity spice aroma and a bit of spiciness at the end, creating a perfect balance. I always have leftover rice, so getting extra curry sauce was the right choice. The katsu was tender and delicious, with no tough parts. It's not a place to relax with someone, but it's good for a quick lunch break for a solo salaryman!

I visited during lunchtime on a regular day and had to wait a bit. It's a curry restaurant where you buy tickets for your order. They offer different sizes and a variety of toppings. I ordered the spinach cutlet curry. Despite being quite spicy and not being a fan of spicy food, I was surprised that it was delicious and I could eat it all. The cutlet was crispy and the spinach didn't have any bitterness, it was excellent. I would like to go back again for a leisurely meal.

I go there occasionally. The sweet and spicy, unique curry sauce is addictive. The pork cutlet here is cut into bite-sized pieces, which is thoughtful. Today, I had the curry with an extra pork cutlet and extra sauce. It was a hearty lunch! (laughs)

After finishing work around 6 pm, there were 3 groups of customers ahead of me. More customers kept coming in. I ordered the curry udon set (1,090 yen), which normally comes with rice, but I asked for it without rice. The dish was served in less than 5 minutes. I enjoyed the hot and flavorful Japanese curry soup, with bits of minced meat adding a nice touch. I wanted it a bit spicier, so I generously added the spicy seasoning provided on the table. Next came the udon noodles. Wait, what? These udon noodles in curry are unexpectedly delicious! They were so chewy and satisfying. The generous portion of sweetened beef belly added to the overall enjoyment. Curry udon is really tasty. Seriously.

☆ Location A 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station. ☆ How to Use Visited for lunch. It's in a business district, so the surrounding shops were also busy with lunch-goers. Even the upscale curry place was full, and I had to wait for about 5 minutes. ☆ Atmosphere & Service The restaurant has around 20 counter seats and one table seat at the back. The service was quick. Most customers were dining alone or in pairs. ☆ Order Ordered the Katsu Curry for ¥890. It was served in about 5 minutes. The katsu was freshly fried and crispy, with just the right size. The curry had a rich flavor, starting sweet but ending with a bit of spiciness. Even for those who don't like spicy food, it was just the right level of heat. For those who want more spice, there are spices available on the table. The portion size of the katsu curry was just right, not too overwhelming. Will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal ♫

I came to Shibuya and had curry at "Joto Curry". It's located about a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station. The restaurant has counter seats and table seats. The curry had a sweet taste at first, followed by a bit of spiciness, which was delicious. The fries were crispy. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm, and the addictive curry was excellent.

I went to a live show of an acquaintance and decided to have dinner before that. However, I was running late due to work, and by the time I arrived, the live show had already started. I ended up going to a curry restaurant because I was craving curry. I ordered the spinach curry for 990 yen. It was served quickly, and I ate it quickly, but it was delicious! It tasted similar to Nino-ya Curry, with a sweet and spicy flavor that was addictive. However, it's a shame that I can't visit this place often. Overall, it was a great experience!

▼Points - The roots of this high-quality curry can be traced back to the famous curry udon from "Tokumasa." - The characteristic of this dish is the sweet and spicy curry roux. - The udon noodles are soft to enhance the interaction with the curry roux. ▼Order Details (Tax Included) Curry Udon Set: 1,090 yen Extra Roux: 200 yen This restaurant originates from "Tokumasa," a well-known curry udon shop in Osaka, so there is one curry udon set menu included. This time, I ordered the curry udon set. The hot curry roux perfectly coats the medium-thick udon noodles, making it irresistible to slurp up. The curry roux starts off sweet and then the spiciness kicks in. Sprinkling some spices from the table enhances the flavor even more. I'm not sure if it's the right way to eat it, but I added extra roux and dumped rice into the curry roux at the end. It's just delicious and enjoyable until the last bite. They always provide a paper apron, so you can dine without worrying about getting your white shirt dirty!

I tried the famous Joto Curry in Shibuya main store in Osaka. It was a spicy and flavorful curry with a crispy tonkatsu. There are many different curry flavors, but this one was delicious. I enjoyed the satisfying taste. Thank you for the meal.

▼Points - A curry specialty restaurant popular for its freshly fried tonkatsu curry from Osaka - The curry roux is known for its sweet and spicy flavor - The tonkatsu is thick, juicy, and delicious ▼Order Details (including tax) Tonkatsu Curry: 990 yen Extra Roux: 200 yen The interior of the restaurant mainly consists of counter seats, with a few table seats available. The dish is served on a large plate, with the tonkatsu cut into bite-sized pieces for easy eating with just a spoon. The tonkatsu is crispy and freshly fried. The curry roux starts off sweet and then has a spicy kick. In addition to Fukujinzuke, there is also cabbage pickles provided as a perfect accompaniment to the curry. Since the restaurant originates from a curry udon shop called "Tokusei" in Osaka, there is also a curry udon set menu available. I look forward to trying the curry udon next time!

I visited the restaurant around 10 pm on a regular day, looking for some curry to finish off the day. My friend and I arrived and luckily the two seats at the counter were available, with just some dirty dishes left on them. The staff quickly cleaned up and seated us as we bought our meal tickets. The rest of the restaurant was full, with customers coming in after us having to wait in line. There were two staff members, but one efficient guy was basically running the show on his own. He had a great personality, always making eye contact and politely greeting us during our entire visit - from arrival to departure. I couldn't help but admire how calm and composed he was in such a busy environment. We ordered the tonkatsu curry (with extra curry and a soft-boiled egg) and a tonkatsu curry (with less rice). The tonkatsu was fried after we placed our order, and the sound of the knife slicing through it was satisfying. The taste was just right - crispy on the outside and delicious. I love rice with a lot of sauce, so I ordered extra curry to ensure I wouldn't run out. There was a bit of curry left over, but I see curry as a drink, so I scooped it up at the end and finished it off before heading home. Thank you for the meal.

On days when I am extremely hungry, I always crave a hearty curry for lunch for some reason... and at those times, a creamy curry with cheese and spinach is the best choice (*'ω'*). The sweet and thick sauce coating the curry was so delicious...! Sometimes I just feel like eating this kind of chain curry♪
