The Spirit of Japanese Curry
I consider myself as extremely lucky person. Because yesterday I got a 
package from Japan. The package contained my favorite thing - Japanese 
curry.

This curry can be got from convenience store in Japan, or a traditional 
grocery store. The taste is very similar than in Yoshinoya shop in Japan.

I'm really poor cook, I can barely cook a bearable simple spaghetti. 
Therefore I was really glad to get ready made curry. Only thing I needed to 
take care was the rice.

So I went to the shop around here and bought a porridge rice. I usually use 
that to cook like Japanese style rice. Then I just put rice and water in 
ratio of 1:1,5 and hit the on switch. Heating the curry sauce was really 
easy too. I just boiled some water and showed the folio bag in for five to 
ten minutes.

Gosh the taste was great. I truly wonder of food can have spirit. Truly 
marvellous, fantastic taste. I went to Japanese foodshop then and bought a 
curry block. It contains nine blocks - so you can get nine small cubes and 
use them for soup, or whatever to add some spice and curry flavor. Ofcourse 
you can use that to cook this Japanese style curry as well. I have no idea 
how since instruction is all in Japanese.

Curry has indian origin. But this curry I can get from Japan seems to be 
totally different kind of food than indian. At least in Indian restaurants 
here in Helsinki you can't get anything like this. Finnish curry foods are 
very different as well. Nothing like this. Especially that sauce cannot be 
found from shops around here.
