the Japan Pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot.\u00a0 Perched across from Mitsukoshi Department Store, Katsura is somewhat hidden and can be easily overlooked.\u00a0 I have always enjoyed the Koi pond and\u00a0strolling the\u00a0trails around Katsura and was anxious to try the restaurant for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34694

strong curry flavor that was a little too much spice for me.\u00a0 I know many people enjoy this dish so I would definitely give it a try if your palate is more adventurous.<\/p>\n<p>There is limited
