CURRY RICE (Japanese-Style Curry with Rice)

Curry is one of the most popular dishes in Japan and has been for centuries, and with good reason—it's delicious! It's a simple dish made with rice and curry, usually served over white rice with a side of pickled vegetables. But what makes this dish so special is its versatility: you can add meat, vegetables, or seafood to make it more filling, or eat it on its own as a quick meal. It's a great dish for fall because it's warm and comforting, but still fresh enough that you don't feel like you're eating comfort food all day long. 

DAIGAKU IMO (Candied Sweet Potatoes)

We're also including a couple Japanese sweet potatoes in this month's box so you can try out this traditional Japanese sweet. They're a sweet, crunchy dessert made by frying Japanese sweet potatoes and covering them in a caramelized syrup coating until they're soft and sticky. With its crispy skin, buttery tender bites and just the right amount of sweetness, Daigaku Imo is perfect for pairing with a cup of green tea.
