1: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder why curry is so delicious.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx31

Curry is usually delicious no matter how you make it.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Recently, I asked a nameless person about the house’s pro quality, and after trying it out, I got really hooked!

Just microwave the pork and put it on top, and it’s delicious.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because it’s delicious.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Normal ones are usually tastier than the fancy ones.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a saying that if you’re making a “dark pot” dish, you can somehow manage by adding curry roux.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The recipe for delicious cheap curry that was introduced by Vamp-sama on Sunred, which can be made in just a few minutes, is amazing.

Still imitating.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>7

In which volume is it?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why do you think curry is delicious?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

Meat fat!

Spice!

Saltiness!

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it’s cooked in a large pot for oil simmering, ready-made curry tends to be tastier than a small individual pot of curry powder.

Unreasonable

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it’s brown.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems to be the most delicious in the world.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

That’s about the vocabulary level of a middle school student.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that even someone like me, who is bad at cooking, can make it and it still tastes good.

Is there anyone who can make it taste bad?

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Retort pouches have become so convenient that you can just microwave them instead of using hot water, and it’s making people more and more lazy…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Curry powder can be used to make anything edible.

I remembered that the essential supplies for a survival mercenary were a joke in Samurai Spirit.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s cheap, delicious, and has a lot of flavor varieties; instant curry is amazing!

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

In actual world rankings of delicious dishes, Japanese-style curry often ranks high as a popular dish in Japanese cuisine.

Other popular Japanese dishes include tonkotsu ramen and sushi.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, there are indeed some cheap retort foods that are bad… I was surprised.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t 5 packs for 398 cheap?

It’s probably not 3980 yen.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

You can normally find it at drugstores.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Expensive curry is also delicious.

There are also curry shops with long lines.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remembered when my Nepali colleague said they would serve curry, and then I was served solid curry.

Like a raisin.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you avoid the bad-tasting seasonings from Hachi and Topvalu, you generally won’t go wrong.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Commercial curry is good, isn’t it…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I always stock up on Hachi’s extra spicy.

Well, I add soy sauce and chili pepper when I eat.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You can easily make curry that you can’t eat without adding a lot of salt.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

This is definitely not good; it’s as if my body is clearly reacting with rejection, saying that eating it will kill me.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

I once saw an Indian curry recipe that had a lot of salt, and when I tried it, it turned out just as expected.

I wonder if they prefer it with a lot of salt over there.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Adding mango chutney to the mildly spicy roux that markets itself with a hint of spice makes it just right.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

There was a time when the Vietnamese ready-to-eat curry was a total miss.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Curry is delicious even with cheap ready-made packs.

I’ve never had curry that was ridiculously delicious instead…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you add too many unnecessary things, it surprisingly becomes a murky and unappetizing curry…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can make curry with anything at any time because I have spices at home.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Inaba’s Thai curry was impossible for me at first, but now I like it.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, sometimes curry that is overly elaborately crafted can be a bit off… It’s fine with a regular price.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m keeping the 4-pack for 320 yen because it lasts long and is convenient to use.

Sometimes I mix in some noodle soup base and use it for dipping soba or udon.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, there was a time when canned Thai curry was trending on the bulletin board.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

I’m still eating only green curry.

Inaba is amazing.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Today I bought yuzu curry and strawberry curry at the roadside station.

I’m looking forward to eating one of them tomorrow.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s better not to buy cheap retort pouches that aren’t from major manufacturers, as some of them taste bad.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

The aroma of the spices is amazing, but the taste is like, what is this…?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

About 300 yen should be enough.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>41

The 300 yen retort curry is around above average to medium, isn’t it?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

300 calories per meal is a light reward meal.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

Based on what criteria…?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand the feeling of being turned off at first glance because curry that looks bad really is bad.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

To someone who doesn’t know, the appearance of curry rice doesn’t really seem like food color… that’s a feeling I kind of forgot about.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can generally eat any kind of curry, but for some reason, I don’t really like Bon Curry.

I wonder what this is… I want to enjoy Bon Curry deliciously.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

Until now, I liked the ready-made curry from Maruche, but recently I’ve become hooked on Java curry medium spiciness.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

They are selling chicken bones cheaply at AEON, and curry made with broth from boiling them is delicious.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Among the cheap options, Pro Quality feels like it’s head and shoulders above the rest.

The ingredients have completely melted.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

It doesn’t work no matter what you do if oil is floating up.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the variety of meals in the 300 yen range at the supermarket.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is recommended for expensive retort products?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

The ones that cost 500 yen per pack are all delicious.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

The Famima’s ultra-delicious beef curry was incredibly good.

It costs about 430 yen including tax, but the satisfaction level is high.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just mixing a little curry powder into ready-made curry can change it completely.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t underestimate me.

There are bad curries even in restaurants!

It was so bad that I had no choice but to gulp it down without tasting it!

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The fact that you can roughly gauge the value of a 5-pack for 395 yen is too familiar with modern times, Dala-san.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I enjoy transforming cheap, mediocre retort pouches at home by adding my favorite spices and seasonings.

I’m hooked on pouring coffee cream just once.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

According to the Bon Curry standard, the upper tier starts from the 270 yen class.

I mean, Bon Curry is too cheap.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

I think it’s the strongest curry shop if we’re just talking about the price.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

Bon Curry used to be 100 yen each until about 10 years ago, so I always kept it on hand.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it definitely brings that to mind in terms of appearance…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the caste is clearly different with every 100 yen increase in the retort.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you think about the cost of a 300 yen retort meal or the price of rice, it ends up being the same as eating at a cheap restaurant.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to flush down someone who talks about excrement while I’m eating curry.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter how cheap the curry roux is, if you buy garam masala separately and add it, it will become really delicious.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never had a curry worse than the one from school lunch.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

The expensive ones tend to steer more towards having luxurious ingredients rather than the taste of the curry itself.

I think the flavor of beef stew curry is just right.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Something overseas… the pseudo-curry run by Asians was really bad.

It was decorated with tomatoes and such.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it costs over 300 yen for a retort pouch, I start to think it might be better to eat out…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

The wisdom brought by India has come to Japan via England and has recently returned to England again.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, I don’t really like retort curry because the flavor is dull.

But it wouldn’t be too late to try the recommendations mentioned in this thread…

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you skimp on the roux and make it thin, you’ll end up with a disappointingly bad curry.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Kukure curry was 98 yen, but I wonder if I should have bought it.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was lured in by the offer of a mini curry for 100 yen at the set meal restaurant, and ended up having to eat a terrible-tasting curry.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to be a fan of fukujinzuke as a side dish, but recently I’ve also come to appreciate the goodness of pickled scallions.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Boncurry, how should I put it, it makes me feel calm when I eat it.

You can drizzle soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce on it to change the flavor a bit.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m further modifying the British-style curry that was already heavily modified from Indian-style curry.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there are any contenders overseas for consistently delicious food at such a price.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

German mashed potatoes, maybe?

It’s really creamy.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Eating out for around 500 yen for curry is a bit of a gamble these days.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Sometimes you crave Bon Curry, don’t you?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the Inaba canned curry series, but it’s a hassle to dispose of, so I wish they would make it in pouches too.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cheap retort products have a unique sour taste, but I wonder what that is.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cheap ones tend to feel lack of power as soon as there’s a lot of rice.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

There aren’t many inexpensive curries available for eat-out these days.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

Now our company’s cafeteria curry costs nearly 700 yen, so I no longer choose it.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a memory of eating a 390 yen curry at a place called Kare Kichi in Akihabara, but it was bad.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Kokumaro.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m a bit interested in premium Bon Curry, but I haven’t tried it yet.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Until the year before last, the food section of the nearby Yamada Denki frequently had a hidden gem where you could buy GINZA CURRY spicy flavor for 120 yen on clearance…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Retort curry instantly tastes better when it exceeds 200 yen.

I feel like there isn’t much difference from there up to around 400 yen, or any change is just a matter of preference.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>101

I think that starting around 300 yen, it becomes more unique and has a stronger personality.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I saw Daruma-sama in the Reiwa era for the first time in a while, but doesn’t it look a bit short and squat?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

This is the children’s version in appearance.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

I’ve gotten used to transforming, so whenever I go to the human village, I often go as a little creature to have fun.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>103

This is because it’s Kyano Yamada…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I get really serious about UFO catchers that give out retorts.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

That silver bag that has nothing printed on it definitely looks like it’s for commercial use and is cheap.

I’ve never eaten it, but…

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>105

As expected from being called hotel curry, it tastes like the curry from a hotel buffet.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oyster curry is delicious!

Thank you, Rainbow Foods.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

The research lab curry was delicious.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like something’s missing… so when I come across cheap curry, I just throw in garam masala and other spices.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Lee is the best.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

It tastes good in a normal way.

I don’t know if it’s delicious because of the spicy component or if it’s delicious even without the spiciness.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love curry that includes vegetables.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

They have instant vegetable curry available, right?

I’m curious about that.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

It’s good for reducing guilt.

Maybe the nutrition is good, but it’s just at the level of vegetable juice.

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>120

It’s not bad at all…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most retort curry has become that microwaveable package.

The ones from Seijo Ishii still have a lot of pouches, and I wish they would try a bit harder.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m all about the spicy 4-pack from Bistro Club!

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes I really want to eat Osaka spice curry!

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

I buy the ready-made curry from Maji Spa about once a year.

It feels like a reward.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bought cheap private brand curry roux and it tasted bad, so I don’t trust it.

It might be more accurate to say it’s thin rather than bad, but do you really intend to insist that this is spicy curry?

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

Sometimes very cheap ones skimp on the spices blatantly…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like curry days with big ingredients.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if it’s something like a 100 yen pack…

It’s not that I can’t eat it, but it only fills my stomach and doesn’t taste good… that’s how I feel about some things.

I think it’s divine starting from around 300 yen.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still like Bon Curry the most.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ready-made curry from Gogo Curry is too reliant on the cutlet and cabbage, so you have to prepare both to finish it.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>129

I bought it as a souvenir from Kanazawa, but to be honest, it was a mistake.

That wasn’t something to be eaten casually from a retort pouch.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lee has been living a long life for some reason, so it’s consistently delicious, isn’t it?

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow, when you mix several spices in just the right amounts that enhance the umami and flavor while also having some odor and bitterness, the smell and bitterness disappear and it just becomes delicious!!!! That can be called the crystallization of wisdom.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes I really crave Handa-ya’s curry.

It’s really just a regular family curry though.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks like the Topvalu one tastes bad, even though it has a perfect image.

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>134

Tasmanian beef is good.

I thought I was looking for the retort curry section, but it was in the meat section.

144: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>134

The flavor and packaging of Korokoro change, so it can be said to be a seasonal item.

When it’s bad, it’s really bad.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ones you can heat in the microwave are so great that I’ve completely stopped buying the metal pouch ones.

Boiling water is a hassle.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the Kanda Curry Grand Prix series.

Bondi is really delicious.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anonymous, hey!

J League curry, yeah!

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, I’ve been using the curry roux from a cooking expert? auntie.

The powder stuff is easy.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

The four-pack from SB or House is cheap and too delicious.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>140

Is it chef or professional-grade? Adding ingredients to that is nice, isn’t it?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

It’s hotel chef-style beef curry.

I prefer it spicy.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I discovered the forbidden taste of bouillon at The Curry in House, I can’t go back to retort…

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Muji’s curry, but depending on the type, there are some that make me feel like naan or basmati rice is a must.

They’re both selling it…!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there no instant curry that doesn’t taste like instant?

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>146

What does the taste of retort food taste like?

The taste of aluminum-coated film?

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>153

Retort pouches have a unique metallic taste because they use aluminum vapor-deposited film.

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even at a specialty curry shop, there can be bad curry that costs around 1000 yen…

It seems like various spices are added, but there’s no saltiness.

Could you please put the salt down before the table spice?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I sent Mom the curry from the bus center, she said it was the first time she had such delicious ready-made food, and it seems it was really something special because she kept the outer box.

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>149

Naso

Nin

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

SB is just not that great.

I like houses.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

I still don’t know how to enjoy spice curry.

It has no flavor.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

No flavor!?

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

Did you follow the recipe properly?

Just using spices isn’t enough.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s delicious as a retort, it’s the best when you can adjust it to your own taste.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

School lunch curry is the best, though.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the curry at the bus station really that good…?

I don’t feel like going all the way to Niigata to eat, but maybe I’ll try it with retort food.

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The one who made curry powder is great.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really love the soup curry at Furano Market.

I’ve been keeping this on hand a lot lately.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one at the bus center has an amazing color, doesn’t it?

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Dara-san was reacting a lot even to the cola.

I see why things like curry or cola are not typically offered as offerings.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>169

I wonder if I would have become a more materialistic person more quickly if I hadn’t stopped Mom when she made such lavish offerings.

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

The soup stock’s curry is delicious.

I hardly ordered any soup.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

LEE is waging a civil war among the 10x faction, the 20x faction, and occasionally the 30x faction that only eats 30x.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

I am a staunch supporter of buying in bulk at 30 times, but I have never hated any other faction.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>172

Those who eat LEE want spiciness, so the spicier it is, the better it is, of course.

Sell 30 times throughout the year.

191: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>189

Here comes the radicals.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though I’ve become something like a god, I was once human.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Bon Curry is bad.

I didn’t want to know that there could be bad curry.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>174

Kukure and Bon are for children.

When I was a child, I used to eat it deliciously.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>183

Neo Bon spicy is delicious!

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>174

If you expect curry, you’ll be disappointed; that thing is Bon Curry.

Neo is closer to curry.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Most of the materials used for retort packaging are tasteless and odorless.

Aren’t you turning into one of those guys who reported that the World Expo venue smelled like methane and ended up embarrassed?

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>175

I don’t know about methane, but I can feel something…

Not just curry, but all pouch foods…

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>199

I don’t think pouches taste like that; I can tell with canned food.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never tasted iron from aluminum, but…

179: Japan Otaku Reviews

An Indian curry shop with unlimited naan is tastier than spice curry.

181: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There was a time when I thought any curry would taste good.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

My younger brother is cute.

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

Offering curry is terrorism, right…

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>184

Raw foods, not just curry, are out.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Bon Curry is delicious, nostalgic and all.

I am consuming information.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>190

That sweetness is delicious for Japanese people.

What I don’t understand is Ginza Curry.

Is thinly sliced meat really delicious?

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>194

I don’t know about curry, but Ginza keema is good.

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>197

Is minced meat really that good?

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>200

Delicious!!

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t you going to get a stomachache?

193: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Retort curry and regular curry have evolved so differently that it’s like they took a sudden mutation.

195: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the Chinese food offerings have also been significantly reduced, so it’s okay.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why did you offer something like fried rice with egg, Chiya-san?

198: Japan Otaku Reviews

Back in the day, when my mom got too excited, it was pretty amazing how she would bring out the dishes.

Even today, they are still carrying alcohol in barrels.

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever tried retort-keyma.
