BEST Japanese CURRY! Curry Tour in Tokyo Japan!

I went on a curry journey to see what place made the best curry in Tokyo, Japan. I was super excited, but then patience got the best of me because some of the curry places have a long waiting game, and that made me even hungrier!!
The first curry I had at Bondy was incredible. It was sweet, creamy, with a spicy kick leaving on your tongue. Also, get the baked apple dessert. Make sure to come early for this place because I arrived at 3 PM and had to wait an hour in line. Coco curry has many restaurants all over Japan, so you won't miss them. You can customize your curry dish however you like it, and their curry is super creamy. I loved the three meat chicken curry the best. Now Yoshida curry is quite the wait... But this curry was beautiful, creamy from the orange egg, and the pork was super tender.

Being an Indian who grew up eating curry everyday, I really wanna try Japanese curry. That beef curry in the beginning looks delicious, looks kinda like the mutton curry my gramma used to make. 😋

[@pugward]

It's milder than Indian curry, so you might be a bit underwhelmed in terms of spiciness. It's also more delicate, and tends to be slightly sweet. But do give it a try, I'd say it's still pretty satisfying.

[@jarigot1885]

@@pugward lol not all Indian curry are spicy. India is huge and each region has a different concept of flavour and a different method of cooking. The curry you usually eat in indian restaurants in the west is north indian or west Indian. There are way more spicier food in India like in the north east and much sweeter flavour as well like 'malai curry'. But yes the Japanese curry available here in restaurants are way too 'Indianised' I feel. I'll have to try it in Japan in the near future (hopefully). Lol.

You had to have level 5 in the past before you order level 10. If you order level 10, waiter asks you "have you ever eaten level 5 or hotter?", if you are lucky in English.

If you really want to order level 10 ask it in Japanese. Just say jyu-kara and you really get the spiciest one. Ive tried to order in English before. It was definitely nerfed haha

The second I saw the title of this video I set myself up for waiting, excitedly, for you to get around to Coco Ichibanya. Best food I've ever had at a chain restaurant, completely blew my mind and also my waist line after a month in Japan with a Coco not even 10 minutes away from my airbnb. I can almost taste the curry right now. Been trying to imitate their way of cooking their eggs for the longest time and just can't get it down, also got their original curry cubes off of japanese amazon because golden curry just doesnt do it for me anymore. Ridiculously good eating.

[@bhalu89]

Did you just call the gravy boat a 'half a genie lamp'? 😂😂😂😂 Love it!
