Katsu Curry is a typical Japanese style curry on rice with fried pork cutlet. Of course we can enjoy various kinds of curry menu items in Vancouver just like Indian, Malaysian, Thai and Chinese, but I love this menu item best. I think it has two special characteristics. One is that its curry roux contains flour so that it gets a little bit stickier than any other curry sauce from other countries. Most Japanese people should feel a kind of homesick whenever they have this sticky and light yellowish curry sauce. Another point is that it must be served with steamed short rice which is much stickier than dry, long rice. It might be that we Japanese are fond of sticky food. Unfortunately, most Katsu Curry which is served in Japanese restaurants in Vancouver is not sticky enough to be authorized as a real Japanese Katsu Curry. Therefore I was very happy to find this good Katsu Curry in a Japanese fast food restaurant on Broad Way.
When I come to think of it, I have never had sticky food outside of Japan. The Thai curry I had in San Joes was less sticky.
