Instant roux blocks are what turned it into a weeknight dish. S\u0026amp;B (エスビー食品), founded in Tokyo in 1923, launched Golden Curry (ゴールデンカレー) in 1966 as a rich, aromatic curry, and the company names it as its bestseller. The idea is simple: spices, fat and flour already cooked together, so the roux stage is done for you. Medium hot, chūkara (中辛), sits above mild on the Japanese heat scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.9rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/masterclass\/japanese-sauces\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJapanese Sauces\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.9rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/japanese-curry-powder\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eS\u0026amp;B Japanese Curry Powder 85g\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/s-b-1-spice-ichimi-togarashi-300g\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eS\u0026amp;B Ichimi Togarashi 300g\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eWhat does Japanese curry taste like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eRich, savoury and gently sweet, with a warm spice that builds slowly rather than biting. The sauce is thick and glossy, closer to a gravy than a thin curry, and it coats rice and breaded katsu well. Golden Curry has a fragrant, rounded spice profile with a little fruitiness behind it, and the medium hot strength adds a clear warmth on the finish without numbing the palate. It tastes deeper once the finished curry has rested, which is why many Japanese cooks say curry is better the next day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 10px 0 25px 0; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35);\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eKarē rū カレールウ (Japanese curry roux)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eS\u0026amp;B Golden Curry (launched 1966)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eStrength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eMedium hot (中辛, chūkara)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eNet Weight and Format\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003e1kg box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"opacity: 0.75; width: 35%; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eBest Used As\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size: 0.85rem;\"\u003eThe sauce base for katsu curry, curry rice and curry udon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow do I use a curry roux block?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eCook your meat and vegetables, add water or stock and simmer until tender.
