After 31 Years in Taiwan, This Japanese Man's Curry Sets a New Standard by Staying Authentic
Mr. Katsukawa has spent 31 years in Taiwan, with his brand 'Kasu Kasu Curry' expanding in locations like Kaohsiung and Nangang. He insists on not 'localizing' his curry rice, believing that doing so would compromise his founding principles.
He brought Japanese curry culture to Taiwan, noting the high acceptance of foreign cultures, especially Japanese. His entrepreneurial journey was not easy; he faced challenges like funding shortages and language barriers but eventually achieved success with the support of the Taiwanese market.
Katsukawa believes curry should be a home-cooked dish and recognizes various styles emerged after many changes. His entrepreneurial mission was to bring the most authentic Japanese curry to Taiwan, a commitment he has steadfastly maintained.
