STORYTIME
My daughter loves Japanese curry. I wanted to make one from scratch, because the store bought roux blocks seemed too processed. I did quite a bit of research and made a bunch of trial batches, until I adjusted the spice blend to our liking and landed on this one.
SHOUTOUT (optional)
A special thanks goes out to a bunch of Japanese food bloggers (there are too many to name). I also forgot which ones I looked up.
