Fuck my luck, honestly.
Got a text yesterday from old friend* and occasional commenter ‘eddle. Did I want to meet up in town that evening for a drink and Katsu Curry.
Well the answer was obviously in the affirmative, I had not seen my very good friend in an age , nor had an authentic Katsu Curry in as long. (Been up to town, but not on anything that merited a Katsu Curry)
Well they say that lightning doesn't strike twice** But in this case it did, if one was of a suspicious / paranoid mind, one might think The Tokyo Diner did not want our custom, as again, as with October 16th 2010, The Tokyo Diner was closed due to a power failure ‘again’.
It seems very convenient that over 3 months apart, the day we decide to go, they close. A restaurant that prides itself on being open 364 days a year.
Do they not like me? Do they not want my custom?
Or was it ‘eddle throwing Miso soup over herself, the first time she was there and the shame is insurmountable?
Who knows?
We did get our Katsu Curry again at the Mitsukoshi Diner but it wasn’t the same.
If they don’t want us there, just let us know.
That being said, it was an absolutely splendid evening.
*Old friend as in, I have known her for nearly 30 years now. But also old friend as in, she is older than me, in fact for 8 days each year, she is two years older than me. :)
**Yes I know it does, that’s why we have lightning conductors

Or even lightning conductors!
It was a shame but we still had a very good evening:-) xx
What's a Katsu curry when it's at home?
@James
KAtsu Curry is a particular Japnese dish and is possibly my most favourite food ever. It is very different than an 'Indian' curry, being more based around pepper than chilli.
See Wikipedia Japanese Curry
It is also very hard to get an 'authentic' one outside of Japan. The best being at The Tokyo Diner in Soho, so I am crestfallen when I find it is closed.
Spelling corrected Miss 'eddle
Could be worse. You might have gone to this one to find the curry wasn't on :)
