Doing our groceries last weekend, we passed by the international food section. As I was browsing the Japanese items on the shelves, the Clairvoyant directed my attention to the boxes of curry mixes. She asked me if I wanted to try it out given we like to order curry dishes when we eat at Japanese restaurants. I pointed to some boxes, recognizing a brand familiar to me as I have purchased these quite a long time ago while residing in Japan as a student in Yokohama. We decided to purchase a box and the wife asked me to make sure it wasn't too spicy.

The Clairvoyant also asked if I knew how to prepare the curry and I showed her the back of the box where some instructions in English was attached. She also took a look at the box and was tried to figure out the instructions using the illustration provided and gave her approval for the purchase.

| Instructions at the back of the box shows an illustration of how to prepare the curry mix and other ingredients. It also shows what S&B meant: Spice & herB. |
The result of our foray into curry was a very satisfying dinner of chicken katsu curry. Fortunately, we had some breading left from Christmas and New Year so we were also able to prepare the chicken that went with the curry.

I recently bought Japanese breading mix so we look forward to coming up with more authentic-looking katsu curry dishes. Perhaps we'll try pork or prawn the next time.
