Curry rice (pronounced karē raisu in Japanese) is one of Japan’s most popular dishes and the ultimate comfort food. More sweet than spicy, Japanese curry is easy to make yet deliciously satisfying.

This curry roux from Kazemaru-Nojo is made without any artificial flavors or additives. It's sweetened with apples harvested in Aomori Prefecture, a region famous for its apples, and combined with curry powder for a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavor.
