[Curry lovers unite!]
Curry tasting contest!! Who is the true curry king?

Yamada


For curry lovers

Hey everyone, do you like curry?

Namaste, this is Yamada from the Arkkit Explorers.

Curry is said to be Japan's national dish.
It is famous for its wide variety and extensive selection.
There are many kinds of curry at MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN on the 6th floor.
It is prepared.


There are a total of 29 varieties!




I knew there were a lot of them, but
I had no idea there were 29 different kinds.
However, it is also surprising that there are so many varieties of one dish.
This could be said to be the appeal of curry.

But doesn't it bother you?


Is there a difference in taste?


To answer such a simple question,
We chose the top 5 most popular curries at MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN.
I may be famous as the man who loves curry the most in Sumida Ward,
We had a curry tasting contest with Muji store manager MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN on the 6th floor.
I would like to try it out and see if I can tell the difference.

Of course, our own products,
I'm sure the store manager would know,

If I make a mistake
Authentic Indian
To eat curry
I'll have you go.


Manager Nitta (MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN)
He has been working there for 14 years. His hobby is cooking. He loves fried chicken.
On his days off, he mostly sleeps to relieve fatigue. Single. Wears glasses.

Yamada
A designer in charge of sales promotion for Arcakit Kinshicho.
The leader of the Kit Expedition, who loves curry. A boy with glasses.

A completely unstaged, real competition! Curry tasting!


Yamada


If you love curry as much as I do,
I think we can win easily.
By the way, we had curry last night too. (Really?)
I told my wife I was going to do a curry tasting today.

新田店長

Well, you'll find out if you try it.
The question is who is the curry king of Sumida Ward!

Who would have thought that we would end up deciding the curry king at Arcakit Kinshicho?


It's a Japanese iris!


新田店長

Hmm! That voice!


Yamada

Ah, you're an Indian restaurant on the 10th floor.
Mumbai store manager Puran!!!!!!!

Puran Store Manager (Mumbai)
The store manager may be the closest to becoming a curry king, eating curry every day.
I love ramen and soba noodles. I'm actually from Nepal.

プーラン店長

Deciding on the curry king without me being there
No way. Let's compete!




And so the match begins.
Here are the types of curry we will be competing against this time.



1. Prawn Masala (creamy shrimp curry)
② Ginger Pancakes
③Green
④Creamy Butter Chicken
5. Butter Chicken

By the way, we will not be using any toppings in this match. We will only use the roux.


Round 1 ①Prawn Masala (creamy shrimp curry)

プラウンマサラ

This mild and mellow dish is modelled on South Indian seafood curry.
We have taken advantage of the richness of the coconut to bring out the aroma of spices and the flavor of shrimp.

380 yen (tax included)


So, let's try it. (It's a rare sight, so I made a GIF video.)

1回戦

Yamada

It's creamy and super delicious.
Oh, I think I figured this out.

新田店長

Hmm, maybe it's a bit difficult,
I know which it is, but...

プーラン店長

……………………。

So please answer.



Only the store manager got it right!

Surprisingly, Manager Poulan and Yamada got the answer wrong.


新田店長

I was a little worried about ④,
The deciding factor was the sweetness of the shrimp.

プーラン店長

Prawn means shrimp and masala means spices.
Hmm, maybe it was the sweetness of ①...

Yamada

Because it had a gentle creamy feel,
I thought it was definitely number 4...
But I really like this.
It's mild enough that even children can eat it.

2nd Round ③Green

green

The spiciness of green chili peppers and the refreshing flavor of lemongrass make this dish special.
This is Thai curry. It brings out the richness of coconut.
It has a spicy yet delicious flavor.

350 yen (tax included)


Now, let's try it.

Yamada

This one is easy to understand. Services issue!
It's my favorite curry. I buy it often!

新田店長

You can tell by the color

実食2

Everyone got it right!

As expected, it has some clear features, so everyone got the answer right.
Although the coconut flavor is strong,
It was meaty and juicy.

Also, the equipment is very large.
I think people who try it for the first time will be surprised.

Round 3 ② Ginger Panen

green

A Thai curry with just the right amount of sweetness and spice.
The pork used in the filling brings out the flavor,
Taking advantage of the freshness and texture of ginger,
It is made easy to eat.

350 yen (tax included)


Now, let's try it.

Yamada

So delicious!!!
Huh? What? It feels new and different.
Spicy yet fruity.

新田店長

…I see.

The result is...

実食2

Everyone got it right!

It had a strong gingery flavor and was spicy, and everyone got it right this time too.
Even so, the quality is high and everything is really delicious.

Round 4: Butter Chicken

バターチキン

We use ghee (butter oil) to give it a mellow flavor.
The aroma of Kasuri methi, the deliciousness of tomatoes,
It's delicious with the rich flavor of goshu nuts.

380 yen (tax included)


新田店長

Actually this is the last one.
And both are popular items worthy of being chosen at the end.

Yamada

Butter chicken, creamy butter chicken.
That's quite a clever thing to do!

プーラン店長

This time, I win.
There is actually a way to tell the difference.

Says Manager Poulain with confidence.
If we talked any more, it seemed like Manager Poulain would give away the answer, so we decided to try it.





実食5

Yamada

(Wow, this is really creamy...
It tastes delicious with the tomato flavor, and above all, it has a refined taste.
I think it's probably number 4,
But it seems like a trick question.)

新田店長

The last one was a bit easy though.

Yamada

(picture?)

プーラン店長

Yep, easy!
Now I get it!

Yamada

(Is this easy? Can I trust myself?
What is clear is that making a mistake in this situation would be extremely embarrassing!

プーラン店長

If you get this wrong, it's embarrassing.

Yamada

(Stop it! That's what I was thinking just now!
Manager Poulain, please don't set any higher standards...)

So, I'm curious to know everyone's answer...

実食6

Manager Nitta and Manager Poulain are correct!


This was the first installment of the memorable Kit Exploration Team, but this blunder was broadcast nationwide.
A strict editorial team that doesn't do any fakery whatsoever.
And this smile.


実食7

Since I was there, I also tried the creamy butter chicken.


④Creamy Butter Chicken

クリーミーバターチキン

The aroma of the butter is brought out and the fresh cream gives it a rich flavor.
A creamy butter chicken curry.

500 yen (tax included)


Let's try it. The taste is...

実食最終

It's completely different from before!


プーラン店長

It's tomatoes after all, the biggest difference.
It's less tomato-y than the previous one,
Instead it has a rich creamy feel.

Yamada

That's true... The one before tasted like tomato,
The butter and creaminess of the one I have now is completely different.
This is also delicious...

新田店長

Because you can choose according to your preferences,
There are many MUJIRUSHIRYOHIN curries,
And it turns out delicious.

Yamada

I'm in trouble!!!
But, each one has a different taste,
And yet the flavor of the ingredients remains intact.
It was delicious.
It makes me want to try more flavors!
