Japanese Curry?

Hello!
Could anyone recommend a good restaurant for Japanese Curry in Chicago? Since moving to Chicago last year, I have found all of none, and now that the snow has arrived I'm keen to begin my search anew.
Thank you much...

i'm not sure if you can find curry in the japanese restaurants in the city, which are designed to cater to non-japanese crowds (who are more likely to be drawn to sushi and teriyaki when it comes japanese food). you will have morel luck finding home-style food (like curry) in the northwest suburbs. i know for sure that Sakura and the food courts at Mitsuwa and Tensuke have curry. i think you might also have luck at Daruma Restaurant and izakaya like Sankyu or Kurumaya. good luck!

Have you found no good ones, or none at all?
If you have found no good ones, please let us know where you have been.

A bit of both. I've been to the Japanese restaurants around me like Totoro, Kamehachi, Ginza, and they don't seem to offer curry. Places I have found to offer it tend to be Pan Asian, such as Pacific Bistro or Miss Asia, but these just aren't the goods.

While I'm not a fan of Japanese Curry, and do not know a place that always has it on the menu, I do know of a place that has it for a special every so often, and the folks I know who do like Japanese Curry, say it's the best in the city.

Well, if you don;t mind the crowd, try the curry by Mitsuwa. Also, you might consider buying the curry packet and cook them at home. I personally use Golden Curry or Java Curry, both can be purchased at Mitsuwa.

Ginza used to have it on their lunch menu. It's been a while since I've had it there, but they're a very traditional place that caters to Japanese businessmen, so there's a good bet they still serve it.
