Where do you go when you want to have some curry? Let me tell you one thing, Japanese people love curry! It's become a comfort food in Japan, and I can ensure you that it's rare to find a Japanese person who has never eaten a curry before in their whole entire life. The NY Yankees player Ichiro Suzuki is famous for eating curry everyday for lunch! I've been eating curry since I was 3 years old. My mom made me sweet curry by mixing applesauce and honey, which was delicious! I've grown old enough to make curry by myself, and I mix apple sauce sometimes when I want to make it a little sweet.
So, can you get Japanese style curry in NYC? YES! There are a few places where you can enjoy Japanese curry, but I like the one called Curry-ya in East Village. This place is a tiny restaurant with only twenty seats at the counter table. The owner/ chef makes the curry paste from scratch. There are varieties of curry that you can choose, but the one I recommend is the Berskhire pork katsu curry (deep-fried pork cutlet curry). On top of the original curry sauce, comes a pork cutlet that is fried at the just right softness, and is crunchy on the outside soft on the inside which makes the perfect pork cutlet. You can dip it into the curry sauce, which makes it even better.
The dry curry is also another special at this place. What is "dry" curry? Well, dry means that there's no curry sauce. It's similar to fried rice but with a curry taste. If you don't like curry sauce that much, than I would prefer the dry curry more.
