It's cool how easy it is to get hold of a box these days

Currently it's all Golden Curry where I live. Used to get Vermont Curry too in some stores

I don't think they're supposed to be hot in that sense, it's more of a vague spicy flavour that gets a bit more intense. These are the equivalent of ready made jars of spaghetti sauce, basic food for basic people with the most basic palates

I don't think hotness has traditionally been a thing in Japanese cuisine

They have shichimi togarashi and a chili oil variant, but I can't think of too many well-known spicy Japanese foods or seasonings.

I heard someone describe Japanese cooking as "the white people food of Asia" lol. Not to hate, though, Japanese food is pretty great.

I've heard similar things about Cantonese food

I get that but why even market it in 4 different heat levels, then?

Maybe the hotter ones would be unbearably spicy to some grandma or 6-year-old
