Redpill me on Japanese curry. Does it have to taste bland and unsatisfying, or is there more to it...

curry is sandnigger food and should not be eaten

>TFW such a weeb that I want to try real omurice and hamburger steak even though they're just dishes I pretty much already eat at home but with a Japanese name

Well, they try.

Those people exist to serve us through their sweat and toil, I can only eat chicken bogdanoff so many times before I get sick of it

But it's Indian user. There is of course overlapping with Arab and Indian cuisine. But for what it's worth Hindus historically don't like Muslims.

They take foreign dishes and change them to suit their taste. You know, like every other culture in the world.

Its not very good if you follow the directions on the box. Its excellent if you use simple cooking techniques like browning the meat, marinating the meat if using chicken, substituting stock for water, and using a variety of different ingredients.

Also seasoning everything on top of the curry blocks.

theyre weebs faggot

If food tastes good then it tastes good. Fools like you who let prejudice get in the way of taste are missing out on alot compared to your intellectual, non prejudiced friends.

Curry is basically like a stirfry. You can do whatever the hell you want and you basically can't go wrong.

>here we have more of the retards who fall for marketing memes

just because they tell you to eat it doesn't mean you should genius fucktart. if they season dog shit and bake it to perfection I bet you would eat it and say it tastes good

kill yourself tonight faggot

nip here.

You gaijin fucks need to fuck off from our curry. You buy the bagged shit or the block shit, don't actually know how to prepare it then bitch about it.

weebs can go kill themselves too overglorifying something that's essentially a comfort food in japan. Ruining everything.

kill yourselves. country that elected trump. disgraceful.

Japanese curry isn't that good. The Golden Curry blocks are okay. They're nothing special. You're better simply making Indian curries which are far more flavorful.

over a month in japan and can confirm, in japan the curry doesn't have CLOSE to those sizes of veggies or meat chunks

you are sperging out defending the nip equivalent of kraft dinner, congratulations

Eh, it's pretty tasty as something quick and simple. It's not going to be a chili, boeuf bourguignon or tikka masala, and it isn't trying to be either of those things. Think of it as an alternative to your basic stew with meat and potatoes.

LOL, you wish that was an equivalent. Your garbage shit can't even be called food. Only by legal definition, it's half food.

Im not saying you should eat japanese curry because weebs say you should. Im saying if it tastes good then it tastes good and you shouldnt let what a group says prevent you from forming your own objective opinion on it.

>objective opinion
What the fuck is an objective opinion?

you should read the fucking posts before saying stupid shit faggot.

An opinion you have formed using your own taste. Without factoring in what other people think.

>>/v/

fuck off fat ass.

I don't think you know what "objective" means

I like jap curry when accompanied by breaded pork or chicken katsu.

How about going to a well known restaurant and ordering a japanaese curry and being overall disappointed with it? Even though you've eaten from many places and have been unsatisfied compared to poo in da loo or thigh curries

I don’t know what else to tell you fatty. You don’t have to eat or like everything. Leave food for others.

>nip here
Two nukes weren't enough.

Restaurant curry is absolutely nothing like what you get at a Japanese household. When ordered in a restaurant, 99% of the time its the Japanese equivalent Chicken tenders. Something on all the menus that picky children will eat. Its the most popular non-Japanese food for kids under 13. There are legitimately good places like Coco, but those are specialty places that serve a style of curry with a very dark sauce thats still totally different but actually good.

>Using the word nip
99% chance of being white, 100% chance of being a faggot nobody likes that seeks attention.

Best currys in the world in bong land if you know where to go, the have a long history with curry

?
Yet real curry is amazing, hand wiped in shit or not.
Up your game america and try real curry.
INB4 poo in the loo, Panjeet or some other shit, make a famous curry yourself without any paki touching it and tell me bongs have no taste.

so if a 14 year old orders it does it automatically make her a manchild?

>have japanese curry
>in japan of all places
>T-that's not real curry!!!!

Guess I have bad news for that mom and pop shop, and a bunch more, I went to next time I visit.

I live here, theres a 100% chance you don't speak the language so shut the fuck up about things you don't know

this place makes some great curry yelp.com/biz/curry-ya-new-york
Why don't we ever post yelp links? They have pictures and pretentious people to laugh at

Delicious with a panko crusted pork chop or similar. The comparison to India doesn't really make sense. Indian curry is a whole genre of many different kinds of dishes. Japanese curry is basically one simple dish with varying levels of spice and can be made well from the roux blocks (Vermont or Golden) or do it yourself for way more work for the same result. Just because not Indian doesn't mean not enjoyable.

Not Indian also means less poop particles per bite.

Add: tomato sauce (ketchup for you Americans), soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, honey, grated apple, sriracha sauce (or equivalent), salt, pepper, and extra curry powder.

Oh, and chocolate and a shot of espresso. I'm not kidding, the Japanese literally do this and they say it tastes good.

yep. one month confirms it. not a single curry in the whole country is served with big veg and meat chunks.

This is the only real answer in this thread.

I have bought and cooked many different brands of Japanese cubed curries over the last year, and every one of them has been underwhelming in their own way.

However, having prepared it slightly differently each time, I have only just recently honed my additions to a place where it's actually decent.

Golden or Java curry cubes, Ground pork for the meat, potato and finely chopped onions for the veg, and a dash of sesame oil, extra curry powder and tonkatsu sauce at the end.

also: S&B Golden Curry is more savory, while Java is more fragrant

Everyone in this thread is retarded. There are like 50 different kinds of curry in my supermarket and from the 5 that I've tried, they all have different flavors. If you get the roux kind, you can basically add whatever the fuck you want to it to cater to your taste. It's basically Japanese chili

Or just use tonkatsu sauce like everyone else.

Vermont is slightly sweeter than Golden if you're interested in trying, I often do 50/50 Vermont and Golden.

Anyone else do stupid pointless shit like chop the roux blocks into finer pieces?
After I ate a straight up piece of roux once, I changed everything I've ever done.

>This prepackaged mix for sadlifes and the children of especially feckless housewives, that then spent half a year in shipping, tastes like nothing!
>Obviously it's a problem with the dish it claims to approximate.
Like, at least find a can of S&B somewhere and flavor your own roux to taste. You're coming into this from a "having eaten this box of hamburger helper I've decided I hate beef stroganoff" angle.

's tendies example is actually really good. Think fried chicken in the US. Think how fucking dire it is if you don't go to a specialist, and how amazing it is if you do.
The mom-and-pop nonspecialist has it on their menu exactly like you can order Tyson's prefrozen chicken nuggets at basically anywhere lower-pretense than Morton's. Specialist curry is a simmer-for-days impossibly rich and complex gravy that's basically an entire different meal, and good home curry cleaves heavily to the stew tradition and rustic cuts even if it's cube-based which means, again, long cook time. It's not them being bad or low-effort or unauthentic. It's you ordering the thing that's on the kiddie menu.

This thread seems full of people who order take-out food or prepare this curry from pre-made stock/cube instead of actually making it by themselves. I thought this place had more people actually cooking their own food.

I can confirm that much of the restaurants have shitty japanese curry. Like said, it's more like a staple thing that just has to be on the menu even though the chefs sucks at making it. It's just like having chicken tendies on menu because if it's not there, then there will be complains about why it's missing which causes shitload of unnecessary shit for everyone.

>No one forces you to use those shitty curry stock cubes
>You don't have to overcook or undercook those vegetables
>You don't have to leave the meat chewy. Instead you can cook it low & slow
>You can cut those ingredients whatever you like whether it's fist sized or minced to oblivion
>Japanese curry recipe isn't carved into stone. You can adjust it to your liking just as I did

For example, instead of putting a teaspoon of curry powder, I use a fistful of it.
I leave ingredients big as they won't overcook so easily and retains their flavour.
By cooking roux into very dark, you'll get more flavour that using shitty pre-made cube.

The most common recipes are made so, that everyone could make and eat them. They're simple. There is no reason to not make your own.

Only things that for me, "Japanese curry" has to have
>Meat
>Vegetables such as carrots, onions, potato/other starchy
>Curry powder
The rest of it is up to you.

It's comfort food for most japanese and everyone makes it differently.

It's a kind of funny paradox, isn't it?
Everyone has comfort memories of curry because it scales off time, not effort.
But the history of Japanese cuisine and how the urban-merchant class could enjoy luxuries scales off effort, not time.
So curry made to order will always be worse than almost anything else on the menu.

I've always wondered if a legit old yoshoku place with serious Hayashi rice would make a good sauce. But I've never been able to bring myself to order curry at one.

If the atmosphere is Japanese curry, a pouch is enough. They are pretty good.
Please eat real Japanese curry in Japan.

The truth curry in Japan is not in Japanese authentic curry specialty store.
The truth curry in Japan is in an inexpensive curry chain, a Youshoku restaurant or a coffee shop.

I think a curry chain is also a specialist. But yes, inexpensive is true curry.

The curry of modern Japanese truth is the taste of cheap curry chain.
But the traditional Japanese curry is in the Yousyoku restaurant.
And the modern curry which inherited the tradition is in a coffee shop.
However, the coffee shop curry has many pouches. There are few coffee shops that offer their own curry, but that is real.

Nah, it's pretty mediocre. I've always assumed that the, "nip food is bland" meme was based on their curry, since most of their other shit is goat.
