I'm here at
Gogo Curry in the central area and this big gorilla of a place is going to be my first Japanese curry experience
Let's go! And just like the ramen place, there's a machine right at the entrance of the restaurant
Where you order all your curry. I'm going for their number one item, pork katsu curry and of course I'm going to get
Extra large size. Actually just changed my mind
they told me this is a combination of pork and chicken and it's extra-large going for this one
I get a view of the street. This place apparently it's really famous in Japan
It's a chain restaurant, but the issue it didn't have anything that was extremely extremely spicy
so hopefully I can locate some kind of spice element somewhere. Oh, thank you. That's for me. Thank you. Oh
my goodness
Oh my goodness
look at this gigantor. Cabbage, pork katsu, chicken katsu, four sausages, eggs,
Curry everywhere all on top of a bed of rice and cheese. This is food challenge proportion right here and tonight
This is just dinner
Look at this oversized
service tray it's been
presented on. And this thing weighs I feel like the minimum 5 pounds. It is beautiful though, the chicken and pork katsu is nice and
crispy and golden on the outside they look tender and juicy on the inside the four sausages here
Hope they actually taste like sausages and not hot dogs. You got one whole egg slice a ton of cabbage and
two shrimp tempuras. Let's dig into this guys. Take away the cabbage and
below it's just a
Mountain a mountain
Like Mount Fuji-esque mountain of rice. And I got cheese as well. Also I ordered extra gravy, so let's dump this on
Save some for later. Oh
Oh man. Having a gorilla as the mascot of this place was right. Because this King Kong portion of curry is mighty good
the gravy
is nice and thick. a little peppery
Not just spicy. I wish I wish there was pepper I could dump on this but I feel like for the average person
This is spicy enough
Let's try a piece of the pork, shall we.
Oh, that's delicious!
You guys hear it?
the crunch of the pork katsu
crunchy
Perfectly fried on the outside, inside the meat is nice and tender and juicy. Pair that up with the curry and you can have something beautiful
Let's take a bite of the shrimp tempura. Again, so nice and crispy on the outside
Ah the inside just melts. Let's try the chicken.
One thing I've gotta say is
Everything here that
they fry, they fried perfectly. And I was really surprised that my local Japanese friends referred me here, because usually you don't
refer chain restaurants to people. This is incredibly tasty, satisfying, and can I mention substantial?
I'm glad I got the extra curry because there's so much rice here
Let me show you guys. This is all rice, and I'm about done with my katsu and
There's not enough curry left. I might need to go get more curry sauce.
One thing I am kind of disappointed with is the amount of cheese. I thought this was gonna be covered in cheese, and it wasn't. It just feels like
There's a few strands of the mozzarella and that's about it. There's the sausage
Oh that's yummy
And the sausage, look at this it snaps apart
Really really easily and most times in life
You don't walk things that are snappy, but when it comes to sausage the snappier the better. This is something else
I got... these are pickled shallots
This is something else really good to have we want to cleanse your palate. And then when you're eating so much curry
That's beautifully pickled, nice and garlicky. You know guys, this might as well have been a food challenge because look at the size of this
And I'm almost halfway through it's been about 10 minutes
I'm digging this right now, feeling really good. I'm going to finish this.
[music]
Whew, that curry was definitely delicious. And I took a big chunk out of it. Um
There's just not enough curry sauce for all the rice that's on here
So I don't know if I could finish that little last bit, but hey, you're lucky man
Challenge, you'd be going down, but delicious curry
I just wish it was spicier and I am done for today.
After that huge serving tray of curry
I feel like it needs something-- needs some dessert
And I'm thinking matcha so I'm at the Green Cafe Style here in Sanjo
And what caught my eye about this place besides the lovely ice cream and this beautiful cake is this gold
matcha ice cream. Really. I'm not saying I ever want to eat gold, but just saying, you know, it was eye catching
This dessert I'm going to have is going to taste golden
Literally it is
Actually made of gold. Well, covered in a soft gold sheet. Now
I've seen this on TV, right? There's a lot of sundaes out there
And drinks that that has gold in it. When do people get so rich that one day
They're sitting around going "you know what? I've got so much gold
I wonder what that tastes like." The one thing that is certain, it is beautiful
Soft-serve Matcha ice cream with what looks like popped rice on the bottom, matcha jelly with matcha powder, a mochi, a matcha
dango and
Soft tender tofu skin. I gotta find out what this gold tastes like
Look at this. This gold just dissolved with the ice cream
I was honestly actually considering whether if I should just like scoop up all the gold and just sell it somewhere
But here it is my first time eating gold
And it tastes just like
matcha. Because it has no flavor. I mean, what's gold supposed to taste like? Let me try to scoop up a
Little bit of gold on its own. There I go
I wish I could tell you that tasted luxurious
I wish I could tell you that tasted like a million bucks
but honestly, it just sort of tastes like rice paper. Try some of the rice puffs
That is actually really enjoyable
I love a little crunch element when it comes to ice cream
Whether that's from a waffle cone or whatever. And rice puffs are so nostalgic for me
I remember when I used to live in China
Um, the rice pop guy
would come every so often with a
Ginormous machine and what you would do is you would take your rice from your house down to him and he would pop it like popcorn
And then he would sprinkle a little sugar on it, and that would be our version of like I mentioned popcorn
Let's try some of this matcha jelly
Mmm! Oh
I like that very match-a. Haha! No? Alright
This jelly is very smooth, huge matcha flavor
I love the way it breaks down in my mouth, almost like a half jelly half pudding and I never
Had tofu skin as a dessert item before. Gonna eat that with a little bit of ice cream
I feel like I kind of stereotyped um, tofu skin a bit. I typecasted it
To me, tofu skin should always be savory and in a sweet dessert setting I
Just can't, it just throws me for a loop but this piece of mochi looks delicious.
I like that. Nice and light not dense at all. I was also kind of wondering does usually a gold sundae
Costs, what, like hundreds of dollars, but this is only uh
1,200 yen, which is only about ten bucks
So maybe the reason I don't taste any gold is because they gave me some fake gold and that could be the reason
I'm not tasting any luxury in the sundae, or maybe it's because you're not supposed to eat gold,
I mean melting it into a bar, make some coins out of it. Give yourself a nice pair of gold earrings
Don't eat it
I mean You're literally turning something really really valuable into, you know... all right
That's it. It has been a great and very very very substantial food day, so I'm ready to call it quits
