American Cynic, Japanese Snow
My yank pal Lyle in a snow storm outside the Apple Farm Cafe in Kaya, Yosano Town, Japan.
They serve the best Japanese curry in Japan. Vegetarians beware – the vegetable curry contains meat. It is delicious.

Japanese curry is curious. Gloopy and tasty, it has the consistency of a savoury custard. Closer to a British stew than an Indian curry it is by the standards of Japan a flavoursome dish. It makes great winter fuel. ‘Curry Rice’ is among the most popular school lunches.
On occasion though its inoffensive passivity has caused angry pangs of withdrawal in my spice addicted British taste buds. At such times I seek out the services of my local ‘indo curry’ dealer to supply a stronger hit.
