Japanese are very fond of curry. Packages of curry mix are found on the pantry shelves of most Japanese homes. HG/BSK were introduced to Jpanese curry by SJ’s wife, Maiko Sakamoto, a beautiful and gifted chef (partner with SJ in Freeman Shokudo, a Tokyo izakaya specializing in Brooklyn barbecue including pastrami). HG recalls Maiko’s Japanese curry enveloping tender sliced chicken. The sauce was thick and lush. Last night’s Riverside, RI, dinner was ground pork and sweet potato curry. Lesley thinned the curry with a bit of dashi broth. Served over rice and accompanied by local beer and a tangy chutney, it was another memorable repast orchestrated by gifted daughter, Lesley R. BSK will be back in Rhody in a few days. Much anticipation. Presume BSK will assist Lesley in the kitchen. Happy times ahead as HG is reunited with the love of his life.
