When I first tasted curry in Japan, it was so different to what I was used to yet it was really delicious. I think Japanese curry is sweeter, darker, and smells stronger (Someone said it is similar to the original Indian curry) than Korean curry.
I personally like Japanese curry better. However I cooked this Japanese curry for the first time today. But it turned out really well, so I am very glad.
Because Japanese curry is imported, it is more expensive than the Korean one in Korea. It was about 3,300 won (US $3.50) I bought it at Homeplus.
This is what I used today. Curry looks like chocolate, so my husband was happy for that moment.

With this one, you can serve about 12 people. Once you open it you need to keep it in the fridge in an air tight container. (It was on the directions.)
There were two choices in terms of spicy level, I chose “medium hot”, but as you may expect, it wasn’t hot at all to me. (If you are used to Korean food, it wouldn’t be hot.)
Ingredients for 2 people are: (If you are a big eater it is quite right, but if you are a small eater, it can serve up to 3 people.)

This was excellent curry! I would say I enjoy it a little more than Korean curry, but that’s just because I prefer more mild tastes.
