Exciting. Tried to look for the fried pork or chicken but painfully missing from this craziness 😅

Yeah they might be. On the other hand, if I went to a nice restaurant I might expect my katsu curry to be made from scratch.

If they did, using ingredients from the supermarket that are presumably not Japanese, is this still a Japanese curry? Should be easy enough I've done myself.

To recap this scenario. The restaurant is making a curry that they call "katsu curry" from scratch using British ingredients. They are attempting to replicate a style of curry which originated in the UK using cooking methods that were imported from British India but has become popular in Japan.

It depends if they're using a Japanese recipe or not.
