Yoshinoya has announced that it will start selling "Gyu Ruka Curry" and "Nikudaku Gyu Ruka Curry," supervised by SPICY CURRY Ruka, a popular restaurant in Okubo, Tokyo, at stores nationwide from January 16th.
The price of the "Gyu Luo Ka Curry" is 729 yen for dine-in and 716 yen for takeout, and the "Nikudaku Gyu Luo Ka Curry" is 839 yen for dine-in and 824 yen for takeout. Both will go on sale from 11:00 am on the 16th, and will be on sale for a limited time until the end of April. The end date of the sale may change depending on the situation.
This collaboration menu was made possible by the product developer's desire to create a curry that goes well with Yoshinoya's stewed beef together with Chef Eri Saito of "SPICY CURRY Roka" and sell it in stores nationwide. About a year after the offer was made, "Gyu Roka Curry" and "Nikudaku Gyu Roka Curry" were completed under the supervision of Chef Saito. Both products are served with the stewed beef from "Gyudon" topped on the curry.
The curry uses spices such as cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon to create a strong aroma. Furthermore, chopped onions are added to the roux, which is full of the flavor of tomatoes and onions, to add texture. The roux does not contain wheat flour, giving it a smooth finish. The amount of stewed beef in the "Nikudaku Gyu Luca Curry" is the same as that of a regular serving of beef bowl.
Chef Saito commented, "I was incredibly happy when I heard that the day would come when I would have the opportunity to collaborate with Yoshinoya, a restaurant I've been familiar with since childhood and love. Yoshinoya's stewed beef has a sweet flavor that allows you to enjoy the full flavor of the beef, so I devised a curry to go with it that is spicy, mainly using black pepper, which goes well with beef, to create a good balance of sweet and spicy, creating a multiplying deliciousness when eaten together."
He also sent a message saying, "This time's Luka curry is a light and healthy curry that does not use wheat flour, but is made with spices, onions, and tomatoes.It is also characterized by its balanced taste that is completed when mixed with the stewed beef.For people like me who love large portions, I recommend the 'Meat-filled Beef Luka Curry.'Also, if you start by eating the stewed beef and curry separately, and then mix them all together halfway through, you will be able to enjoy the great combination of the stewed beef and spice curry even more."
