Golden Curry Mild from the Japanese food giant S&B Foods Inc. is a cult product that brings the essence of authentic Japanese curry to every kitchen. It is a thick, condensed roux block that serves as the base for preparing Japanese Curry (Kare) – a dish with a mild, yet rich and complex flavor that is one of the most popular comfort foods in Japan. What sets Japanese curry apart from its Indian or Thai counterparts is its thick, velvety consistency and a sweet-spicy, umami flavor profile.

The S&B brand is a leading food producer in Japan and has a long history of innovation in spices and flavorings. Its products are trusted by chefs worldwide. Golden Curry is their most recognizable product, and the Mild version is the perfect choice for the whole family, including children, as it provides a full flavor without dominant heat. It is a mild, but by no means boring, blend – the taste is deep and multi-layered.

The secret to Golden Curry's flavor lies in the 7.7% curry powder, which is a carefully selected blend of spices, including turmeric (which gives it its characteristic golden color), coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and the unique addition of orange peel. This last ingredient introduces a citrus note that balances the richness of fats and flavor enhancers, creating a perfect harmony.

The high content of fats (29 g per 100 g) and wheat flour are essential for creating this famous, thick base. It is a roux based on vegetable oils, which, when dissolved in water, develops a creamy, enveloping consistency. Importantly, the product also contains flavor enhancers (E621, E627, E631), which are crucial for achieving the deep umami taste – a signature characteristic of Japanese curry that differentiates it from other varieties.

Preparing curry with S&B blocks is incredibly simple and fast. Just add them to boiled water, vegetables, and meat, and the mixture will instantly thicken, forming a rich sauce perfect for serving with rice. Golden Curry Mild is not only the traditional way to make Japanese curry; it can also be used as an aromatic addition to sauces, casseroles, or even as a filling for Japanese baked dumplings like kare-pan. It is a true must-have for every Japanese cuisine enthusiast.
