Katsu curry is Japanese innovation at its best! Two global classic comfort foods - fried chicken and curry sauce - have been adopted. The British brought curry from India to Japan in the late 19th century; the Japanese invented a milder, sweeter, thicker version to accompany rice. Today's crowd pleaser is crispy [MOCK]® Chicken 'katsu' (breaded and fried) paired with a rich curry sauce and rice.
