September 1st is Disaster Prevention Day. In addition to the goods such as the "seismic mat " that I introduced the other day, I also want to prepare emergency food that supports life after the disaster. There are many kinds of emergency foods these days, and they look and taste quite good. We would like to introduce one of such high-level emergency foods, "curry that can be eaten without warming".

Introducing "Regular Curry Craftsman (Medium Spicy)" developed by Ezaki Glico. Although it looks like a normal retort curry, it can be eaten without warming and can be stored for a long time (best-by date 3 years).



When I cut the seal and put it on a plate, it feels smoother than ordinary retort curry. The scent of spices spreads softly even though it is not warmed, and it is appetizing. Since there is no rough feeling of oil that is often found in cold curry, the lightness that passes through the tongue softly is a good impression. When combined with "alpha rice" that is reconstituted with hot or cold water, it transforms into a splendid curry rice. It's not as good as the taste of warm curry, but it's soothing, so it's easy to eat even in the event of an earthquake that tends to run out of drinking water.






As similar products, "Vegetable Curry" and "Vegetable Stew" are also available from House Foods. This is also attractive because it can be eaten without warming and has a long best-by date (5 years). Why don't you try and compare the products of each company and stockpile your favorite taste?



The author purchased the above product from Tokyu Hands, and the selling price is 141 yen (tax included, same below) for Ezaki Glico's "Regular Curry Craftsman (Medium Spicy)". House foods "delicious vegetable curry without warming" and "delicious vegetable stew without warming" are 184 yen each. The price range of alpha rice (pregelatinized rice) was around 300 yen per 100g (3.53oz).
