Go! Go! Curry!

Of the curry shops in Tokyo, Go! Go! Curry is definitely my favorite. Despite the fact that this is somewhere related to the New York Yankees (YUCK THE FANKEES!), the curry here is addictive. Go! Go! Curry is named after Hideki Matsui (go go = 55 in Japanese). Why? Put simply, the owner is a big fan. In the Shinjuku-gyoenmae branch, all the employees wore Yankee Matsui shirts and Yankee caps. On days Matsui hits a homerun, you would get free toppings. There me made a movie about Hideki Matsui which he plays in the shop. He plays rap songs about Matsui. He even opened a Go!Go! Curry in New York when Matsui signed with the Yankees. This guy is OBSESSED with Godzilla! I'm not sure what is going to happen to the decor and themes of the shops now that Matsui has signed with the Angels...another team in which I absolutely despise but I'm guessing he's just a fan of the guy, not the team. Regardless of team affiliation though, you will enjoy their curry which come in several sizes (healthy, economy, business and first class) and options of either chicken or pork katsu. I'm a big fan of ordering the pickled pearl onions on the side.
