    Looks more like シチュー than カレー, but the head part is cute.

    That's the most unappetizing colored curry I've ever seen. It does look mopre like that "white stew" stuff but you can see the red "fukujinzuke" next to the fat panda head.

    It looks like Eri Nakawake has been profoundly unwell on a plate with rice on. But the ricw will be deemed kawaii so nothing else matters. I despair.

    It is a friendly cute display of Japanese-style lunch. I will try it in Japan.

    Do the target customers have an average age of 5?

    No, just people with the intelligence of a five-year-old.

    and outside the Osaka Tennoji Zoo it would be a 70 year old obasan with a beer and a cigarette. A 10 year panda loan from your buddies, cough cough, next door you love. I would love to see that contract and if you do not give back the pandas or one passes away on them... what is the penalty? Borrowing pandas from people that will put a bullet in your head for a minor offense seems risky.

    Seen a report on TV about that Curry and how it came into being.

    Example: the ears are Olives but were initially rejected as being too small. :D Agree looks more like a Stew than a Curry, but than this is Japan.

    Or it could be close to the Orange and Mandarin Curry I once had a Vegetarian restaurant. Was quiet nice actually.

    Um, is it just me or does it look a little bit like the panda vomited. Not a very appetizing color and it seems quite thin, though it's hard to tell from the picture.

    Cute idea but it is in the wrong color and shape container, so the "curry" does look pretty revolting.

    Obviously, people here have never heard of white curry.
