Located in Chuo Ward, Osaka, ‘Jukuran European Curry Karei-ya’ stands out as one of the city’s long-standing curry destinations, attracting fans with its distinctly matured curry recipes and attention to flavor detail. The video provides a comprehensive look behind the scenes at this popular curry restaurant, situated on the first floor of the Shintanimachi Dai-2 Building near Tanimachi, Osaka. The host highlights how the shop impressively serves around 300 bowls of curry each day, demonstrating the local love for its robust European-style curry, a notable departure from standard Japanese curry rice.

Throughout the video, viewers get an in-depth introduction to the curry shop’s unique process of slow-aging their curry to achieve deep, complex flavors. This aging method sets the establishment apart from many other curry restaurants in Osaka and Japan overall.
