happy national katsu curry week!


first and foremost, happy national katsy curry week! no i hadn't realised it existed either. but why on earth not would you not want to devote an entire week to the crispy coated, crunchy, fruity, saucy morsels on a bed of gorgeous sticky rice? to celebrate, yo! sushi have put the super mega katsu curry on the menu for £7 a bowl. with classic chicken, prawn and tofu to choose from, these beasts will definitely distract your attention from the rainbow of pretty plates on the sushi belt. 


i headed down to my local leicester yo! to try one out. i hadn't actually tried their prawn one before - which you can have as katsu bites or with sauce and rice. of course, not usually full meal sized!


just have tofu to try next - but luckily have until the end of november to sample these katsu delights, giant style.

or, if you fancy trying it at home yourself, yo! kindly sent over the official yo! sushi chicken katsu curry recipe for your eyes only. enjoy!
