Kokumaro Curry Hot 4.9 oz, One pack

After coming back from Japan, I was looking for something that tasted like what I had so many times over there. Most fell flat with the taste, but Kokumaru is pretty close to it. Super easy to make and you gives you enough for leftovers. I found that the Med/Hot was the best tasting out of the group and it wasn't too spicy, you can always add more spices but mild enough to give to children (they love it). Also the Med/Hot is cheaper than the Mild so go for these to save a couple bucks!

Great flavor, not hot

These are super nostalgic for me, so this is a bit of a biased review - but you can’t really go wrong with these. Keep in mind that Japanese curry is sweeter and milder than most western curries, but the cubes create an easy base that you can always jazz up as needed. Probably available for less money if you have an asian food store in your area, otherwise these aren’t easy to find in the US.

Tasted great, I have no complaints.

I wanted to try a new to me brand of Japanese Curry and gave this a go. Unfortunately the ingredients list was not pictured on the box. I just assumed that it would be like other curry mixes I had previously purchased. It wasn't until I finished preparing the curry that I read the ingredients list and spotted the artificial sweetener sucralose, which does not agree with my body. If you have the same issue I suggest avoiding this brand and opt for another.Since the curry was already prepared I ended up giving it to my neighbo. Thumbs up from them as they enjoyed it immensely. Since I had leftover curry mix I gifted them the remainder. They will be making more in the future.In general the heat level of these types of Japanese Curry mixes are negligible. These is barely any difference between mild, medium, and hot. A small child could easily eat a "hot" Japanese Curry without issue. So if you are looking for that zing, you will have to add your own heat.

Always the best curry when we use this mix. It’s legit delicious!

This is a very tasty curry. Similar to S&B, maybe just a touch more robust. The "Hot" is Japanese hot, which is not that hot by other standards, but has just enough bite to make it pleasant. This gets an easy five stars, and earns its place no my list of Favorite Curries.

The flavor was fine, but the consistency was so watery after following the label directions that we had to add three doses of cornstarch just to thicken it up to an acceptable thickness. It got much better on the next day, granted, but that's not acceptable. I won't be buying it again.
