A Delicious Collaboration: South Indian Curry Rusk
The renowned Tokyo Rusk company, based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has launched an exciting new product in collaboration with the popular South Indian restaurant, Eric South. Starting from June 18, 2026, customers can indulge in the unique flavor of South Indian Curry Rusk, a perfect blend of taste and spices that is sure to delight food lovers everywhere.
A Spice Lover's Dream
What makes this new rusk so special is the meticulous selection of 11 different spices, each chosen to enhance the rusk's base flavor. The spices include cumin seeds, cardamom, coriander powder, fennel seeds, black pepper, red chili, paprika powder, cinnamon, fenugreek, clove, and turmeric powder. This combination not only captures the essence of a light yet spicy South Indian curry but also elevates the original flavor profile of the rusk itself. The result is a delicately balanced snack that offers a rich aroma and a complex, lingering spiciness that will leave your taste buds eagerly anticipating the next bite.
Perfecting the Rusk Base
To ensure that both the rusk and the curry shine in this culinary creation, Tokyo Rusk's team reviewed their traditional base ingredients. They've chosen durum wheat flour to create a crispy texture that complements the spices beautifully. Additionally, by incorporating onion into the dough, they transformed the rusk into an onion bread variant. This sweet yet nuanced flavor enhances the spiciness of the curry, creating a mouthwatering fusion that showcases the strengths of both culinary traditions.
Product Details
Available in two pack sizes, the South Indian Curry Rusk comes with either 8 pieces priced at 648 yen (tax included) or 14 pieces for 1,188 yen. The product will be available at all Tokyo Rusk locations, their official site, and through online shopping starting June 18, 2026. For those interested in trying this unique snack, visit
