Family Mart’s most luxurious curry-man dumpling yet

21:16 cherishe 0 Comments

It’s so evolved, it’s hardly even a dumpling anymore.

A standard food item in Japanese convenience stores are the nikuman steamed Chinese meat-filled dumplings, as well as their derivative cousins such as pizza-man and curry-man. They’re all great and very filling for the price averaging between 100 and 200 yen.

But now, nationwide convenience store chain Family Mart seems to be really upping their game with the Golden Brown Bistro-man Gooey Cheese Curry Flavor (Kongari Bistro-man Doro-ri Cheese Curry Aji).

Its long name is actually rather fitting once you know everything going on inside one of these things. To start, there’s a curry flavored with 20 spices, four fruits, vegetables, and caramelized onions. This is then topped with a well-balanced blend of mozzarella, Gouda, and Parmesan cheeses.

“Topped” might sound odd, since dumplings usually only have fillings rather than toppings. The Golden Brown Bistro-man Gooey Cheese Curry Flavor, however, is an open-concept dumpling with a hole in the top for the contents to be exposed. This is expected to enhance the aroma and overall enjoyment of it.

You can probably also notice from the picture that rather than the very soft steamed bread of other curry-man dumplings, this bread has been baked for a golden brown color. The combination of baking and then steaming is also thought to give it a delectably chewy texture unlike any other dumpling.

It certainly looks worth trying out, and Family Mart is going to make that easier for everyone.
