上等カレー 横浜ポルタ店

🍛 Won the championship at the 5th Kanda Curry Festival, affordable spicy curry from Osaka!

The high-quality curry is from a long-established curry shop in Osaka; "high-quality" refers to the premium ingredients they use. Originally a popular spot in Osaka known for long lines, it also gained recognition in competitions after opening branches in Tokyo.

This department store branch has a cash vending machine to purchase meal tickets, but if you want to pay by card or other electronic payments, you can directly order at the checkout counter with the staff.

Their curry is the Osaka style of Japanese curry—sweet with a hint of spiciness—and the portion size is moderately large, typically filling for most women. There is only one type of curry sauce, and the differences come from the main dishes.

This time, I ordered the signature fried pork cutlet. The thickness of the meat is moderate, but the outer crust is crispy and not greasy, pairing perfectly with the curry sauce. Water and pickled vegetables are available on the table for unlimited self-service. If you like spicy food, you can sprinkle chili powder to adjust the spice level in the sauce.

Overall, it's not a must-visit spot, but the price and taste offer great value. If you enjoy curry, I would still recommend giving it a try if you come across it.
