What is the Curry Bread Grand Prix?
The
Curry Bread Grand Prix is an annual competition dedicated to determining the highest gold award (the best in Japan) and gold award-winning curry bread as well as the shops that create these delicious treats. Originating from ancient Mesopotamia and spreading across Europe to the world, curry bread represents Japan's unique craftsmanship and spirit of hospitality. This culinary delight has become emblematic of Japanese culture. Though categorizing such a unique genre might seem inappropriate, the event encourages public engagement through direct voting. The aim is not only to help people discover new and exciting curry breads but to foster competition and innovation among bakeries, ultimately enriching the culture surrounding curry bread in Japan.
This event offers participants the chance to engage deeply with the various textures of bread, the richness of dough, curry quality, viscosity, spice balance, and more, all while enjoying the unique characteristics of curry bread.
Why is the Award Ceremony Held on Marine Day, July 21?
The date was carefully selected for its thematic relevance to curry bread, aligning with a time when fans crave this culinary delight. The Japan Curry Bread Association decided that voting should conclude just before the peak summer season. Marine Day symbolizes the close relationship between curry, bread, and the sea, especially considering that curry rice was born on ships during the Edo period. This day signifies the arrival of summer, making it the perfect choice for the awards.
Why Ohsaki Bright Core Hall?
The
Ohsaki area was chosen for its excellent accessibility via public transportation, which is ideal for guests traveling from all over Japan to attend and celebrate the best curry breads and bakeries. The venue embodies the significance of excellence, with
"Bright" signifying shining awards and
"Core" representing the essence of the curry bread itself, lending gravitas to this prestigious event.
What About the Sponsorship Awards?
The sponsor awards invite participant shops to create original curry breads using ingredients provided by sponsors within a limited timeframe, showcasing creativity. These awards highlight the importance of quality ingredients and craftsmanship in the culinary world, fostering collaboration between makers and promoting possibilities in curry bread culture.
