If your curry fanatic in New York City, you can map out the city based on the best places to get your fix for Jamaican in Flatbush, Indian, Pakistani and Curry Hill and in the East Village for Japanese in and around Little Tokyo.

Japanese curry rice doesn't get as much shine in the U.

As Rahman, but it's actually one of Japan's most popular comfort foods.

To learn more about the dish, I'm headed to Suki, a new curry rice spot in the East Village, to dive deep into Japanese curry culture with my friend Rina Sayama.

Born in Japan and raised in London, Arena is a critically acclaimed singer model, an artist but most importantly a curry head Les Go.

So I'm here with my friend Rina, and we're gonna try some Japanese curry at Suki, and I have to admit, I've never had Japanese curry before.

I can't believe Oh, can you give me kind of a run down?

A crash course of what is Japanese So Japanese carrier is something but people make a home is like a staple in the Japanese household.

You typically make it with these instant room packets, which all have, like honey and apples on the outside, because it's quite sweet.

It's as big as Roman, but you make a home.

So you were born in Japan and then you moved to the U.

Yes, as an immigrant, how important is it for food to be connected to your culture?

Immigrant families like mine no show love in the same way that, like non immigrant families, too, you know, like we don't get praised for stuff.

The log is always there, through the food on dhe.

My mom used to pack like curry in these little tiny Tupperware boxes that used to just get really stained yellow, like a soon as I'd open.

I know that people would just be like, What is that?

That was just the best thing ever that my mom could have done for me.

Before we eat, we're gonna toss it to Emmy made in Japan for a little crash course on Japanese curry.

Today, I'm gonna tell you a little bit about cod ice or Japanese curry.

So cod eyes falls under the umbrella of Yoshiko, which in Japanese means kind of Western style food.

It's believed that Curry was introduced to Japan B, a Anglo Indian naval officers that came to Japan in the made 18 hundreds, the late 18 hundreds.

It's tailored, of course, the Japanese palate a little bit sweeter on a little bit studio and much saucier, but absolutely delicious.

Almost every home cook has their version of cod ice, and most people use this.

This is Kaoru, and basically this is curry roux blocks that allow you to make cod eyes super fast and easy.

Sometimes people had shredded fresh apples like to add a little bit of honey, coconut milk, even cheese.

So all those little additions kind of customized your cut.

I had ice, and this is what courage looks like.

It's traditionally served alongside some plain white rice, and the most basic and traditional form contains pieces of chicken, carrots, potatoes, onions and this glorious, luscious Katia sauce.

All right, ladies, I hope you found that useful.

So first up, we have the classic chicken Katsu Curry.

Suki uses dozens of spices in its curry recipe, including star knees, cardamom, fenugreek and nutmeg.

The curry is simmer for four hours and then left to rest for days before serving.

It's then paired with white rice and a panko crusted chicken cutlet.

Yet obviously the chicken capsule is breaded, so we want to keep it as, like, dry and crispy as possible.

This part won't talk pretty on the rice or on the chicken.

So the difference between this and like, the Indian Curries that I've had, it's definitely thinker.

There's a lot of, like, heavy spices that are very savory with anyone, but this one has, like, a very soft way in my mouth.

I like So can you tell me a little bit about the cat suit here?

I know that Japan is into the fried chicken.

We have corrugated and we have the Katsu.

What's the fascination with fried chicken in Japan and Christmas?

KFC on Christmas Day, like you have to pre book it months in advance?

I definitely think it's an American influence in Japan.

The food tends to be like the main dish, which is quite savory.

But then you'd have the rice on the side to balance it out.

It's all about like the depth of favor rather than like it, hitting you right in the face.

It's just like it takes you on a little journey.

Next up, we have soup cheese, curry ramen.

The curry sauce here is kicked up a notch with a splash of dashi and a Sprinkle of kelp, and then the bull is topped with pieces of shrimp.

I don't know if this is true, but I feel like a lot of Japanese food, especially.

It's like it's based on what you can do with the leftovers.

Oh, maybe on Monday you have curry and then you have a little bit of leftover curry.

So then you add the broth in and then make curry.

Okay, there's a phrase in Japanese were schooled by night, and it means like it's wasteful.

So you try and use up everything you can like.

I love to slur Good like you must also good is still well, that's sweetener from the curry rice that we had out.

Usually get really, like pissed off when people change the original, you know, from Curry.
