We designed it to more faithfully reproduce the restaurant's taste, allowing customers to consistently enjoy the 'restaurant taste' anytime. We aimed to improve reproducibility during cooking, enabling customers to consistently enjoy the 'restaurant taste' anytime.
Furthermore, since this product does not undergo high-temperature sterilization (retort processing) and seals in the freshly made aroma and flavor, it will be newly defined as 'Nama Curry.'

The name 'Nama Curry' embodies our desire for customers to enjoy a more textural and authentic taste experience at home.
