The Specialty of Hokkaido’s GARAKU Soup Curry Lies in Its Commitment to Made-to-Order Preparation. Beyond Its Japanese-Western Fusion Style, It Incorporates Flavors from Southeast Asia and South Indian Curry, Offering Curry Enthusiasts Who Love Bold Flavors a New Option. Coupled with the Concept of Medicinal Cuisine, the Rich and Thick Broth Base from Chicken and Pork Bones Differs Significantly from Regular Curry in That It Contains No Flour and Is Simmered with a Large Amount of Water. Paired with Abundant Vegetables, It Delivers a Flavorful Yet Refreshing Taste, Reducing Thickness While Adding Layers of Complexity, Allowing Diners to Experience the New Allure of Curry.
