The “Black Curry” Obsession: Why You Need to Try Go Go Curry in Gardena — The Legend of Kanazawa Style: 55 Hours of Umami

Go Go Curry

The Legend of Kanazawa Style

Not Your Ordinary Curry
Have you ever tried “Kanazawa Curry”? It is completely different from standard Japanese curry. It is famous for its dark, thick, and rich roux that looks almost black. Now, you can taste this legendary “soul food” at Tokyo Central Gardena.

The Rule of “55”
The secret to the addictive taste lies in the number “55.” The special roux is stewed for 5 hours, then aged for 55 hours to maximize the flavor. This obsession with “55” isn’t random—it honors the legendary baseball player Hideki Matsui (whose jersey number was 55), a local hero from Kanazawa. This is why the curry is so energetic and powerful!

The Perfect Bite
The authentic way to eat it is on a stainless steel plate with a fork (or spork). The crispy Katsu is topped with sauce, served over the thick curry and rice, with a side of shredded cabbage. The crunch of the cabbage resets your palate, making the rich curry endless to eat. Visit the Gardena store to experience the “Grand Slam” of curries!
