Beef Curry @ Gyorantei

Posted on May 7, 2020May 5, 2020 Posted in PicsTagged Curry, Delicious, Food, IRL, Japan, Yokosuka

Having had lots of Japanese curry, it’s no surprise that the best one I’ve ever had is in its spiritual hometown. The restaurant has downsized from its former glory days, but at least they’re still cooking. It’s about an hour by train from Tokyo, though it’s well worth it.

Second favorite would have to be the mango curry from the now-closed Mr. Curry. Had their curry pilaf long time ago.

Had to visit this by recommendation of NHK World’s Japanology series, as well as Only In Japan. Thanks to the restaurant staff for the use of their well-furnished classroom!

If you’re visiting Tokyo, they’re open for lunch and dinner, very close to Akihabara. Itedekimasu!
