Leading wholesale food distributor Ryoshoku, working with Shinjuku Nakamuraya, a long-established supplier of spices and curry products, has developed a range of “tasty and healthy” ready-cooked curries that is proving very popular especially with women. The range currently comprises two curries: Soymilk & Shredded Vegetable Curry generously spiced with ginger, and Chicken & Coconut Curry with a rich and spicily aromatic sauce. The president of Ryoshoku personally selected the team of three women employees and set them the task of using their female food preferences to create a product for the increasingly popular Yakuzen¹ food market in Japan. The team’s research into this style of cooking found that it made much use of ginger, for its body-warming properties, as well as many Yakuzen-defining spices. Building on this the team added such ingredients as chicken and nuts, which help promote skin health and beauty. Their work led to Ryoshoku’s line of Yakuzen curries that targets health and beauty-conscious women in their thirties and forties.
