Copied from the package as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The package says “本品は、アレルギー対応食品として製造された製品ではありません” (this product is not made as an allergy-friendly food). This product uses no wheat, but the statement means that it was not made for people with a wheat allergy.
Ingredients, one by one
| On the label | Type | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 食用油脂（国内製造）edible fats and oils | Ingredient | Base of the roux and richness | Ingredients are listed in order of weight. In this product the fat is the largest, and the origin label is attached here. The label and the official page do not say what kind of fat or oil it is. |
| 米粉rice flour | Ingredient | Base for thickening (in place of wheat flour) | The label has no origin, but the official page explains it as 100% domestic rice flour. |
| ひよこ豆粉chickpea flour | Ingredient | Thickness and richness | Chickpeas ground into flour. |
| カレー粉curry powder | Ingredient | Aroma and heat | A powder made by mixing several kinds of spices. |
| 食塩salt | Ingredient | Saltiness | — |
| トマトペーストtomato paste | Ingredient | Umami and sourness | — |
| 砂糖sugar | Ingredient | Sweetness | — |
| 酵母エキスyeast extract | Ingredient | Umami | An umami ingredient taken from yeast. In Japanese labeling it is treated as a food (ingredient), not an additive, and is written before the “/”. It is different from the additive “調味料（アミノ酸等）” (seasoning, amino acids, etc.). |
| チャツネchutney | Ingredient | Sweetness and sourness | A seasoning made by simmering down fruit and vegetables. |
| 発酵乳fermented milk | Ingredient | Mildness | Milk that has been fermented. The “乳成分” (milk) in the allergen labeling appears to refer to this. |
| 肉エキスmeat extract | Ingredient | Umami | An extract made by simmering meat. The label does not say which meat. Because the allergen labeling lists pork and chicken, it is thought to be a pork and chicken extract (not checked against the manufacturer's materials). |
| りんごピューレapple puree | Ingredient | Sweetness and sourness | — |
| おろし玉ねぎgrated onion | Ingredient | Sweetness and umami | — |
| カレーペーストcurry paste | Ingredient | Curry flavor | The label does not show what is in it. |

What the maker says it does not use
The package says “小麦粉不使用。国産米粉を使いグルテンフリーで仕上げました” (no wheat flour is used; finished gluten-free with domestic rice flour).
Not found in the ingredient list
This is not the maker's “not used” claim. These are things often seen in similar products that we checked are not written in this product's ingredient list. Additives carried over from ingredients may not be declared, so this does not mean they are absent (about additives not written on labels).

Good points and concerns
+Good points
- No additives in the ingredient list. It also lacks the caramel color that the wheat-flour roux (medium-hot) of the same series contains
- Uses rice flour and chickpea flour in place of wheat flour
- Because it is a powdery flake type, you can measure out only what you need
−Concerns
- Fat is 34.5 g per 100 g, more than the wheat-flour roux of the same series (medium-hot, 29.7 g) (values from the official page)
- It is not made as an allergy-friendly food (as noted on the package)
- ¥357 for 110 g (about ¥325 per 100 g). More expensive than the wheat-flour roux (about ¥254 per 100 g)
