 “Mixed Curry” Tatsuno, 2026

Today we ate curry for lunch at 温（おん）, and it turned out the building used to be a sento, a public bath. The owners kept part of the original baths intact, and there are actually dining tables set up right inside where the tubs used to be. Such a neat idea!

The curry itself was really good too. It wasn’t like typical Japanese curry at all, more like an Indian curry with all kinds of spices layered in. The plate was loaded with different veggies, so every bite had a little surprise waiting. Such a fun lunch! 😋

 “Katsu Curry” Gardena, 2026

I met up with a friend for lunch today at Go Go Curry in the Gardena Tokyo Central. It was my first time trying the chain, and I have to say, it held up pretty well. I’m still a CoCo Ichibanya person at heart, but Go Go Curry is not bad! I’d go back. 🍛

 “Terebi-Time” Cedar Park, 2026

There’s a great song by Blur called Coffee and TV, but tonight I had my own version: Curry and TV. 🍛 The hardest part of the evening was picking what to watch from my “Continue Watching” queue. I ended up going with Gimbap and Onigiri followed by Tokyo Love Story. Good times! 📺

Oh, and that bottom photo? That’s the scene of the crime. I’m pretty sure Anko was licking the ladle and knocked it right onto the floor! 🐱

 “Katsu Omelette Curry” Torrance, 2025

We went for curry at CoCo Ichibanya a couple of days ago, but Koa wasn’t with us. Once he joined us and mentioned he wanted curry, the decision was easy. Back to CoCo we went. No complaints from me, Mariko, or Bay.

This time I ordered the pork cutlet with omelette. It was tasty, but I think I prefer it without the omelette. The egg itself was great, but this combo doesn’t come with much curry, and I missed having that perfect curry to rice ratio.

Of course, we also ordered our usual salad with egg to share before the curry arrived. We never skip it. That dressing is everyone’s favorite for a reason.
