Japanese Curry

Here is food for thought. Japanese curry. This is comfort food for the soul. Brought to Japan by the English when the British Empire was at the height of power. Japan fell in love with curry. Dennis Yang from San Francisco shares his passion for Japanese curry and the memories it invokes of his youth. Food can be a portal to a time of pleasure in our lives. The backstories of Dennis are refreshing and we can relate with our own comfort foods.

I was first introduced to Japanese curry by Dan, my loud Jewish friend from Ohio. Years ago, while in Japan as a foreign exchange student, he developed a taste for Japanese curry – specifically, katsu curry, which is served up with a panko-crusted fried cutlet, traditionally pork. Dan lived here in the early 2000s, and every week he and his entourage would descend upon Hotei in the Inner Sunset, the only San Francisco establishment whose offerings lived up to his childhood memories of his favorite dish.-Dennis Yang
