Thank you so much for all your votes. I am truly honored to have won first place.
This is a product I’m very proud of, created through repeated prototyping and taste testing. I’ve crafted it into a curry that gives you an energy boost first thing in the morning using my original blend of spices, so please give it a try.

Soup curry is a Sapporo specialty that has now become a nationwide staple. This soup curry features a rich, spicy broth packed with spices that packs a punch, paired with seasonal vegetables from Hokkaido. The broth brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables. After experiencing the spicy kick of the broth, the umami and sweetness of the vegetables spread throughout your mouth as you chew. It’s a truly luxurious curry that lets you enjoy the authentic spice of curry and the charm of the vegetables in a single bite.

Curry featuring Sendai’s famous “beef tongue” is so popular that it’s often found even in ready-to-eat curry packets. The beef tongue in this curry is simmered slowly over time until it’s tender, allowing you to fully enjoy the unique texture that only beef tongue can offer. The curry sauce incorporates Japanese elements, resulting in a flavor that’s familiar to Japanese palates. While it’s a mild variety, it follows the recent trend of “no added sweetness + low spiciness,” making it enjoyable for all ages, from children to adults.
The No. 1 item, “Beef Tendons and 10-Variety Original Curry Blend,” is available at
and can be enjoyed for breakfast at WHG Hotels’ 17 locations nationwide at

From Mr. Takehisa Inoue, Representative Director of Curry Research Institute, Inc. (
) and President of Curry University
The latest trend in curry is “European-style spiced curry,” which is made using a variety of spices and advanced roasting techniques. With just one bite, you’ll taste the exquisite harmony of various spices—it’s truly full of flavor. The spiciness is just right, making it appealing to a wide range of people.The star of the dish, beef tendon, is tender yet features a distinctive chewy texture. While beef tendon curry is traditionally an Osaka specialty, it has recently been gaining fans nationwide, making it a curry that’s attracting attention for this reason as well.
