I've never had Japanese curry in a restaurant. I started making it at home after seeing it tons of anime over the years, the tipping point was the Japanology episode. It tastes good but the consistency is always a bit thin, I'm considering adding less liquid (I usually use low sodium beef broth) or adding some corn starch.

Curry House was my go to spot. They had wonderful curries and the whole comfy Japanese "family restaurant" vibe.
Unfortunately they were bought out and liquidated recently. I had my first curry ever from there and I miss it every day. These days I just make my own though.

Do you make the roux from scratch or do you use the box roux?

ideally it is meant to be quite thick, imo, a lot more so than other curries

>>14163553
hell I wasn't even aware that making roux from scratch was possible. Even in japan I thought everyone just used the premade blocks

I use a box roux, usually Vermont but recently I've used Golden as well. Golden seems a bit spicier, I've considered buying packets of the premade stuff to pour over rice and see what it's supposed to be like.

I find it doubtful the sauce packs would be better.
you can do all sorts of stuff with the blocks to amp them up, like searing meat then caramelizing onions in the pan ahead of time.

I do all that. Those things are regarding flavor. I'm happy with my flavor, I'm unhappy with my sauce consistency. I don't think it's as thick as it should be.

Small place in Takayama last year. Could smell it from a clear block away and immediately knew what I was having for dinner
