'Shrimp and lotus root curry' is a retort curry that reproduces the taste of 'Shrimp Keema Curry' that won the JAPAN MENU AWARD from the menu of Cini CURRY in Hyogo Prefecture. Keema curry is the motif of retort curry, but 'shrimp and lotus root curry' is not keema curry and does not contain minced meat or shredded meat.

On the back side there was a picture of the curry offered at the shop.

If you check the raw materials, you can see that in addition to boiled shrimp as an ingredient, ingredients such as shrimp flavor seasoning and shrimp extract are included.

Curry can be warmed with hot water or just warmed in the microwave. This time, put it in the microwave and warm it at 500W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Once it's warmed up, serve it with rice and you're done. From the moment you take it out of the bag, you can clearly feel the spicy scent of curry and the strong scent of shrimp.

The ingredients are lots of lotus roots.

I also found shrimp in the roux. The shrimp are small in size, but there were about 8 to 10 shrimp, so I didn't feel unsatisfactory.

When you eat plenty of lotus roots and shrimp in the roux, you can feel the spicy flavor of curry immediately after putting it in your mouth, and immediately the shrimp's umami rushes from the back. Even if you don't eat shrimp, you can always feel the umami of shrimp with just the roux, and when you bite into the shrimp, the deep flavor spreads in your mouth. In addition, the rich texture and gentle sweetness of the lotus root matched well with the medium-spicy roux with a strong taste.
