Go Go Curry

My favourite curry

I love Japanese curry. My favourite store is Go Go Curry, originating form Kanazawa in Ishikawa prefecture. It's a chain store with a lot of locations in and around Tokyo.
I made a video when I went there recently - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEYG0rt5qKk
It was really yummy!
