🍛 Japanese Curry (カレーライス)
Thick, savoury, and deeply comforting, Japanese curry is one of the most popular home-cooked meals in Japan.
Served over rice with ingredients like beef, chicken, potatoes, carrots and onions, the sauce is mild, slightly sweet, and rich.
It’s a staple in homes, schools and restaurants across Japan.
Why people love it:
Ultimate comfort food
Easy to make and share
Familiar yet uniquely Japanese in flavour
A favourite for all ages
This is the taste of home cooking in Japan.
🍜 Zaru Soba (ざるそば)
Cool, light and refreshing, zaru soba is perfect for warm weather.
Buckwheat noodles are served chilled on a bamboo tray (ざる) and dipped into a savoury soy-based sauce.
Often topped with nori and served with wasabi and green onions, it’s simple but deeply satisfying.
Why people love it:
Clean, refreshing flavour
Perfect summer dish
Highlights the texture and taste of soba noodles
Elegant simplicity
This is Japanese minimalism on a plate.
