Out of all MUJI's prepackaged foods, its selection of curry are among the company’s bestselling products. Its extensive lineup of 34 curries features favorites from India, Thailand, and Japan. As with MUJI’s selection of soups, these curries do not use artificial flavoring or coloring.

You can find staples like Spicy Chicken Curry, Green Curry, and Keema Curry at nearly every MUJI location, but its Butter Chicken Curry is highly recommended.

For those new to Butter Chicken Curry, there’s no hint of Western style butter in this dish; instead it uses ghee, a type of clarified butter from India.

Butter Chicken Curry is best compared to a creamy tomato based dish that has a lovey aroma of exotic spices that is not too overwhelming on the senses. Cashews add to the richness and complexity of the flavor.

The photo on the packaging shows large pieces of chicken and there are indeed are many large pieces of chicken in the actual product. In addition, this is a mild curry that is popular among Japanese children and adults, and men and women as well.

They are surprisingly crisp and crunchy, giving you the sense that this soup was freshly prepared from scratch.

Basil is used heavily in this soup, in a nod to its Italian origins.
