Glico's Zeppin curry series is a premium curry roux for those who seek truly tasty Japanese curry. This is a medium-hot curry roux, spiciness level 3 (in a range between 1 and 5).
ZEPPIN (described as 絶品 in Kanji) means "exquisite" in English, the slow-sautéed onion gives the curry mild yet rich and spicy taste.
The roux have a double-layer structure: the block is made from a luxurious blend of 40 spices with a filling of thick Duxelles paste inside (patented feature).
4 roux blocks contained in a separable plastic package with each block accounts for 2 servings. The package bottom has a dent which is useful to break apart the block easily, and also useful when you wish to use in a small portion.
A globally accepted curry that it won the Superior Taste Award at the International Taste Institute for the four consecutive year.

- TSThomas S.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars2/9/24Doesn't hold a candle to Golden Curry.
Disappointingly bland. Definitely not any kind of hot, medium or otherwise and the curry spices are very, very mild. Lots of texture, little flavor. I had to add a lot of curry powder and dried chilies to boost the flavor. Golden Curry is still the champ.

Great taste, easy to prepare. Labeled as "medium-hot" or "level 3", but its not spicy at all... maybe if you're super sensitive to spicy foods.
