House Foods Presents the New Rich Onion Curry

House Foods Corporation is set to launch its latest creation, the "Gyuutto Noukou Onion Curry" (Rich Onion Curry) on August 11, 2025, in supermarkets across the country. This product puts onions in the spotlight, a common yet often overlooked ingredient in traditional curries. The new curry aims to celebrate the unique flavors of onions, elevating them to the main ingredient role in a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish.

A Unique Curry Experience

The onion curry comes in two distinct flavors: Bouillon and Cream, each designed to highlight the onion's natural sweetness and taste. With a convenient preparation method that allows consumers to heat the curry effortlessly in the box, the 150g servings promise a rich taste experience that can be enjoyed at home without the hassle of extensive cooking. The recommended retail price before taxes is around 238 yen.

Exploring Onion Flavors

House Foods has meticulously crafted this curry by utilizing a variety of onion types—everything from caramelized onions to crisp raw onions. This approach allows the company to capture the complex flavors and textures associated with the beloved vegetable. The layers of flavor include:

1. Crisp Raw Onion: This provides a refreshing crunch, adjusted for perfect melding with the sauce.
2. Caramelized Onion: Slow-cooked to a deep brown, enhancing sweetness and richness without overwhelming the dish.
3. Onion Chips: For that additional roasted flavor burst, bringing a unique scent profile.
4. Onion Roux: A special blend to amplify the overall taste.

The combination allows for a balanced texture where the onions retain their crispness while harmonizing deliciously with the sauce.

The Ideal Sauce Pairing

To further maximize the sweetness and umami of the onions, the curry employs sauces that complement their flavors:

• - Bouillon Flavor: Combines the rich depth of slowly simmered stock with the inherent sweetness of the onions, culminating in a savory, hearty experience.
• - Cream Flavor: Blends the creamy richness against the onion flavor profile, providing a luxurious mouthfeel that enhances the overall dish.

The Development Journey

A Spotlight on Onions

Developing this curry was spurred by a desire to highlight onions, which rank as the second most popular vegetable in preference surveys and holds the top spot for the most used ingredient in curry dishes. Despite their importance, onions often play a background role in many recipes.

Recognizing the need to bring attention to this essential vegetable's flavors, House Foods embarked on creating a curry where onion could truly shine.

Perfect for Onion Lovers

This new curry is aimed not only at onion enthusiasts but also at those who are looking for a unique twist in their retort curry experience. With a focus on the true essence of onions, it caters to those preferring products made with quality ingredients and offers a new kind of curry delight for consumers.

Perfectly Cooked Balance

One of the key considerations was to develop a sauce that enhances the onion flavors while still maintaining a delightful texture. By carefully slow-cooking onions to a caramelized state, House Foods ensures that the sweetness and essence of the ingredient shine through, perfectly accompanying the depth of the bouillon or cream.

The challenges of balancing the gentle nature of onion flavors with the robust curry profile were met with meticulous tests and adjustments, verifying that both the curry’s deliciousness and the onion’s flavor could exist harmoniously.
