Yamato-no-Aji Curry
Japanese notation "やまとの味カレー"
The “Yamato-no-Aji Curry” made by Yamato Seika, based in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a curry-flavored snack that everyone who grew up in Sasebo knows. 30 grams per bag at 60 yen is a phenomenal value for money, and the retro design of this package gives a sense of tradition.
Since the first product went on sale in 1960, it has been a traditional snack that has been loved for more than 60 years, and in Sasebo, “Aji Curry” refers to this snack.
Snacks are fried with a slight twist of stick dough and are generously dusted with curry powder.
It has a crispy texture but a mild and rich curry flavor, a simple but addictive taste. Moreover, it is said that only a limited number of people at Yamato Seika know the recipe for this curry-flavored spice mixture, which is a secret from the public. I felt the power of Nagasaki’s soul food.
