Did you know that February 12th is "Retort Curry Day"? It is said that it was established after the release of the world's first retort curry. The world's first retort curry is the familiar "Bon Curry". In other words, Retort Curry Day is also Bon Curry Day.

On such a Bon Curry day, the new "Bon Curry Daishin" was released . Habanero is blended, and the spiciness is about 1.6 times that of "Bon Curry Dry".


With that said, the irregular holding (?) Project of the En-eating editorial department, "Which is the hottest?" Has started! Continuing from the previous spicy cup noodles , this time we will try and compare three dry retort curries selected by the editorial department's discretion and prejudice!


■ Three kinds of prepared retort curry

This time, we prepared 3 of the house foods "Curry shop curry Daishin (hereinafter Curry shop curry)", Meiji "Ginza curry dry (hereinafter Ginza curry)", and Otsuka food "Bon curry Daishin (hereinafter Bon curry)". seed. I chose a package that seems to be spicy.


Let's rent each one. Curry shop curry and Ginza curry are transferred from the pouch to a plate, wrapped and put in the microwave. Bon curry can be cooked together with the box, so open the lid and throw it into the microwave.


Chin at 500W for 2 minutes and you're done! In the office, no, even the outside corridor began to fill with the smell of curry. As the hungry staff stare at me with a grudge, it's time to eat!


■ Try to eat

First of all, I will try curry shop curry. It's smooth and may be a little like soup curry.



Both taste and aroma are quite spicy! The spiciness is quite behind. The smooth texture of the roux makes the texture of the ingredients stand out.


When I looked at the back of the package, thinking that it would fit my tongue and taste Japanese, I found " soy sauce " as a secret ingredient! I see! It tastes like curry from a soba shop with a dashi stock.

Next, sample Ginza curry. At first glance, it is thicker than the other two types and gives the impression of a rich curry.



Thanks to butter, it has a deep richness and aroma. The texture of the beef is just right! Although it is rich, the spiciness is surprisingly modest and easy to eat, and it has a sense of luxury that is not ashamed of the name "Ginza". It tastes like a long-established Western restaurant.

By the way, "Ginza Curry Pilaf" will be released on February 21st from the "Ginza Curry" frozen food series, so don't miss this too.

Finally, I will eat Bon Curry. The appearance is about halfway between the fluffy Ginza curry and the smooth curry shop curry.



The moment you eat a bite, it has a rich and mellow taste. A strong spice spreads in your mouth afterwards while you are relieved by the familiar home taste. This spiciness that works like a body blow is the work of Habanero ...! ??

The spicy staff of the editorial department was praised very much, saying "It's delicious!" While sweating. On the other hand, the staff, who are not good at spicy foods, said, "My tongue hurts!"

■ The most spicy thing is "Bon Curry spicy"

So, the conclusion. The most spicy of these three types is decided to be "Bon Curry spicy"! Habanero, after all it was painful ...!

The order of spiciness is as follows (according to eating).

1. Bon curry spicy
2. Curry shop curry spicy
3. Ginza Curry Dry

What all species have in common is that they are so high quality that you can't think of them as retorts. If you prepare rice, you can eat authentic curry rice so far in just 2 minutes! The image of retort curry has been renewed in the author.

By the way, it seems that the aroma of spices does not escape when cooking retort curry in a microwave oven rather than cooking it in a hot water bath, and you can enjoy the original taste of curry. That's why Bon Curry recommends cooking with lentin!


It's easy and delicious, so when you're busy, you can just add some retort curry to it!
