Osaka is known as the city of “kui-daore,\u201d or eating til you drop. Curry culture continues to evolve here in its own unique way. \u201cWhat\u2019s Your OSAKAMANIA?” is an in-depth exploration of Osaka’s charms, featuring guests who are each obsessed with a little part of Osaka culture. In this article, we will introduce some of the Kansai Curry Care Center team\u2019s favorite curry restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osaka’s borderless, genre-less, and freestyle curry is born from the city’s spirit of over-the-top service and respect for diversity, as well as its “dare to be different” attitude. Curry is now frequently featured on TV and in magazines as one of Osaka’s specialties along with takoyaki and okonomiyaki, and the city has become a curry mecca visited by fanatics from all over the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These curries are sometimes lumped together under the term “spice curry” to distinguish them from Japanese-style curry. However, they are so diverse that, when asked to define Osakan curry, one can only answer, “I can\u2019t say, because every store is different.\u201d The interesting thing about Osakan curry is that it goes beyond simple arrangement and is, in fact, a form of self-expression that everyone can enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several pioneers set the stage for today\u2019s Osaka curry scene.
There\u2019s the legendary Kashmir, which has greatly influenced the next generation of curry makers since its establishment in 1992, as well as Kyu Yamutei, which is now synonymous with Osaka spice curry, and Buttah, which has spread curry culture through events and goods. There\u2019s also Roddagroup which spread the Sri Lankan style of mixing and eating curry, and Taniguchi Curry, which popularized renting space in other businesses. And we cannot forget the classic Osaka favorites Jiyuken and Indian Curry, which evolved from Japanese-style Western food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
