/jp/ - Otaku Culture

they even have their own ps2 game

I fucking love coco ichibanya. That said, has anyone else noticed that the interior layout, decor, and signs are vaguely reminiscent of the US Waffle House chain?

Never heard of it

it rocks. too bad practically all restaurant food in japan seems to be buried in salt

its my favorite food, surpassing buffalo wings and apple pie. i think i was having acute withdrawls after i left japan.

>>66356
you mean MSG.

I remember eating at one of their restaurants in Waikiki back when I lived in Honolulu.

Goddamn that curry looks delicious.

>>66539
i've seen better, to be honest.

>>66556

Yeah, but I haven't had curry in such a long time. I'd kill to have some.

>>66531

MSG is a salt

>>66568
but msg != table salt.

>>66565
Then--
1> go to asian market.
2> pick up curry mix, japanese variant.
3> follow instructions.
4> mmm, curry.
of course, you'll also need steamed rice and whatever vegetables/meats you want to put in your curry...

>>66585
its not the same. coco ichibans mixes in crack & love or some other secret ingredient that makes it THE BEST THING IN LIFE

I used to get the level 10 curry and eat it to the amazement of the waitresses. I didn't even need to refill the water.

what is the difference between japanese and indian curry anyway?

come to think of it, i've never heard of lamb in an anime. is it just not something thats commonly available there?

>>66613
LIES

>>66332
why? so i can get a nice hot plate of vomit?

>>66852
Not lies. It took me some training to accomplish it. I was stuck on level 6 for a while.

>>66669
No. Lamb is not commonly available.
And while many Asian countries may have curry, they're all different. Hell, Thai and Indian curry are different, and they're much closer than, say, India and Japan.

>>66791
don't you mean it's similar in style of a typical american country diner.

>>66791
Yeah, I was going to suggest that.
Except, of course, instead of waffles, their staples are, well, curry.

God damn it, you're making me hungry again. There's a Curry House near my home in Hawaii that I used to frequent. Shit was delicious.

Pity I'm in upstate New York now, miles and miles away from any sort of decent Japanese-style curry. Time to go eat some shitty cafeteria food.

>>66926

Asian food quality always goes down when you move away from Hawaii.

;_;

that looks like some well greasy curry and with overcooked rice. is /jp/ honestly telling me its good stuff?

>>66955
I'm guessing it's similar to saying that a diner burger tastes awesome because they've got a secret recipe. It's like Pocky, except it's curry.

>>66901
with their proximity to NZ and aus they can import it pretty cheaply, does it just not fit the japanese pallet or something?

>>66332
I eat there all the time.

Pork cutlet curry mild, 400g rice.
