A Japanese Uncle's Unwavering Commitment to Authentic Curry After 31 Years in Taiwan

Mr. Katsukawa has lived in Taiwan for 31 years, firmly believing in providing authentic Japanese curry. His brand "Kasukasu Curry" has expanded from Kaohsiung to locations such as Nangang, Linkou, Taichung, and the 美麗島 shopping district, attributing his success to a commitment to tradition.
Initially, Mr. Katsukawa faced challenges such as funding shortages and language barriers when he started his business. He emphasizes the warm character of the local people, particularly in the south, finding similarities with Japanese culture. An experience at a Taiwanese restaurant shocked him when the curry there did not resemble that of Japan, leading him to start cooking curry himself. Eventually, his friends enjoyed it, paving the way for his market success.
Mr. Katsukawa's curry remains true to traditional flavors, a result of years of research. He insists on not altering the recipe to cater to local tastes to keep his brand's original intentions. Despite challenges during the pandemic, he received overwhelming support, solidifying recognition for "Kasukasu Curry".
