What is Katsu Curry?

Katsu curry is one of the traditional Japanese foods. It is made by topping rice with a rich curry sauce and crispy breaded cutlets called katsu. This dish is the epitome of comfort food: crunchy on the outside and delicate on the inside, with a savory, mildly spicy curry sauce.

The cutlet, typically pork (tonkatsu) or chicken (chicken katsu), is enveloped with panko bread crumbs. It needs to be fried until golden and crispy, and then layered with a rich curry sauce. This special sauce is made by sautéing onions along with carrots, potatoes, and Japanese curry roux blocks. It’s satisfying and tasty, and it’s beloved throughout Japan.

At Negi & Nori, you can enjoy delicious and flavorful Katsu Curry that is true to its origin, with an option for every diet and lifestyle.

What Makes Our Katsu Curry Unique?

Katsu curry is unlike any other curry dish. But here’s why we stand out from the crowd:

• Our Japanese curry is milder and sweeter than Indian or Thai varieties. It’s thick, stew-like, and often cooked with onions, carrots, and potatoes.
• Our panko-breaded cutlets provide a light, flaky crunch that doesn’t get soggy quickly, even under the sauce.
• We believe in comfort and convenience. You’ll find our Katsu Curry recipes are fast, filling, and feel like a hug in a bowl!

This beloved dish originated in Japan’s yoshoku (Western-influenced) cuisine and is now a staple in homes, restaurants, and school lunches across the country.

Health Benefits of Katsu Curry

While Katsu Curry is a hearty comfort food, it can still be part of a balanced diet when prepared thoughtfully:

• Vegetables & Fiber: Carrots, onions, and potatoes in the curry sauce contribute to your daily veggie intake.
• Satisfying Portions: Our bento-sized servings are portion-controlled and filling, preventing overeating.
