S&BS&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix, Extra Hot, 7.8 Ounce

I'd never had Japanese curry, and, after several thousand anime characters going berzerk over the stuff, I figured I'd give it a shot. Then I decided I'd give it a shot WITHOUT spending $25 for a serving at a Japanese restaurant.I did some research and was led to Golden Curry. I was advised to start with medium hot, so I wouldn't hurt myself.It's surprisingly easy to make a basic curry, and the Golden Curry cubes are easy to use.It was the blandest glop I'd ever tasted, and I've eaten school lunches!Enter Extra Hot. I figured curry deserved a second chance. And the Extra Hot is actually hot. I mean, not EXTRA hot, but it's at least got some heat to it. If you really like spicy hot, I'd recommend adding more heat while you're cooking it.The flavor is good, and I enjoyed eating it. It's even better over egg noodles than rice.

Love this stuff, makes great Japanese curry with some heat, not too much. I am happy to be able to order here when our local Asian stores are out of it.

Great flavor, not "Extra Hot." Taco Bell "Fire" sauce has more heat than this.

This was the most savory sauce I've had. Wasn't to hot at all. Very rich in flavors. Will definitely purchase this brand again. You get alot out of it as well.

This sauce is very easy to make and very tasty for such an easy meal. We generally follow the recipe on the side of the box, but usually add more vegetables. A few tips on buying and using this mix:1. Beware of price gouging. Supermarket price is $2 for the 3 ounce box and $4 for the 7 ounce box.2. Sodium content per serving is pretty high, so beware of using more than you need to for your meal.2. The 7 ounce box is rated for 12 servings, but only contains 8 cubes. We use 2 cubes for 3 meals (dinner for 2 then leftover lunch for 1). That gives us much less sauce than restaurants usually serve, but it is enough for us.3. Recipe on the box says use 5 cups of water for 12 servings. We use 1.25 cup of water for 3 servings (2 cubes).4. Extra-hot is less spicy than medium-hot at our local Japanese restaurant. We always get extra-hot then add more Japanese pepper to taste.Note that Amazon sells several other brands of Japanese curry mixes. The Vermont curry costs less than S&B (for the 8 ounce box) and is not as popular as S&B (in terms of sales), but a lot of people like it better. The Vermont curry gives you a dark brown sauce like what you get in Japanese restaurants (S&B is a yellowish sauce). Vermont curry has a richer flavor than S&B which many people like, but it may be too much for some people. Some people like to mix the 2 brands to get a hybrid flavor, e.g. using 1 cube of S&B curry with 1 cube of Vermont curry.

This curry mix is packed with rich flavor and makes cooking super easy — just add it to your ingredients and you're good to go. The extra hot version has a nice kick without being overwhelming. I do find the taste slightly on the mild side in terms of salt, but nothing a little seasoning can’t fix. Overall, a flavorful and convenient option for quick homemade curry.

Fabulous curry sauce! For a Brit living in the US this makes the closest equivalent to a Chinese curry from a takeaway in the UK! Super simple to make too and very tasty.

Easy recipe, has turned out well with chicken and beef. Extra hot? Noooo...but it was just right for us.
