Commitment to powder roux

Since its founding, Oriental has consistently stuck to making natural curry with few additives. We asked about the commitment of curry roux.

Mr. Hoshino:"Solid curry roux is now mainstream, but at Oriental we continue to stick to powdered roux. The reason for this is that in order to make solid roux, it is inevitable to use fats with a high melting point.

This was not compatible with our company's policy of natural food production since its establishment. We want our products to be safe, secure, and delicious, so we continue to preserve the original taste of our products today. The recipe and taste have not changed much since then, and many people are happy to hear that it brings back their childhood memories."
