What does Apa President's Curry Meal taste like?

A collaboration between

Apa President Curry and Nissin Foods' Curry Meshi, ' Apa President Curry Meshi Authentic Beef Curry Style, ' was released on December 15, 2025. The package, featuring the face of Apa Hotel's president, Fumiko Motoya, stood out on the sales floor, so I bought one to see what it tasted like.

I found Apa President Curry Meshi, an authentic beef curry flavor, in the instant food section of a drugstore. The president's face stands out against the black background.

I bought it.

Here's another photo of the package from the front. It's apparently an authentic beef curry flavor.

The spiciness level is 'medium spicy'.

It's called Instant Cup Rice, and its ingredients include rice, beef fat, wheat flour, onion seasoning, curry powder, pork fat, tomato powder, soy sauce powder, sauce powder, pork seasoning, ginger seasoning, squid ink powder, garlic seasoning, seasoned minced beef, cabbage, and onion.

Each serving contains 460 kcal and 2.8 g of salt.

Opening the lid, I checked the contents, which contained rice, seasoned minced beef, cabbage, onion, and curry roux.

Pour boiling water and wait 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove the lid and stir for 30 seconds.

Finished! The curry rice has a deep color and a thick texture.

When you eat it, you can taste the spiciness of the pepper and ginger and the sweetness of the stewed vegetables. It's not too spicy at first bite, but the spiciness lingers and you can feel the spiciness increasing as you eat. It's not just spicy, but you can also taste the umami of the vegetables and beef, which is great. The cabbage has a crunchy texture and adds a nice accent. It's a high-quality European-style curry that is sweet and spicy with plenty of umami.

The suggested retail price of Apa President Curry Meshi Authentic Beef Curry Style is 348 yen excluding tax, and a set of 6 can be purchased at Amazon.co.jp for 2046 yen including tax (341 yen per piece).
