Copied from the official site 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 ingredient list, nutrition facts, content and factory are as shown on S&B Foods' product page. The name, storage method, seller's address and number of servings were copied from the package photo on the same page. Soybean does not appear by itself in the ingredient list, so the label does not tell you which ingredient contains it. For the amount made as directed (1 serving, with beef round, rice not included), the label gives 261 kcal and 2.4 g of salt equivalent.
Ingredients, one by one
| On the label | Type | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 小麦粉（国内製造）wheat flour | Ingredient | Base for thickening | Roux is made by frying wheat flour in fat. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so wheat flour is the largest one. “国内製造” (made in Japan) means the flour was produced in Japan; it does not tell you where the wheat was grown. |
| パーム油・なたね油混合油脂mixed palm and rapeseed oil | Ingredient | Base of the roux, richness | A fat blended from palm oil and rapeseed oil. No animal fat appears in the ingredient list (the package says “植物油脂使用”, made with vegetable fats and oils). |
| 砂糖sugar | Ingredient | Sweetness | — |
| 食塩salt | Ingredient | Saltiness | — |
| カレー粉curry powder | Ingredient | Aroma and heat | A powder made by blending several spices. |
| でん粉starch | Ingredient | Thickening | Starch itself is treated as a food, not a food additive. |
| 香辛料spices | Ingredient | Aroma | Spices. The label does not say which ones. |
| 酵母エキスyeast extract | Ingredient | Umami | Made by extracting the inside of yeast. It is treated as a food, not a food additive. It is a different thing from the additive “調味料（アミノ酸等）” (seasoning (amino acids, etc.)). |
| 焙煎香辛料（香辛料、コーン油）roasted spices (spices, corn oil) | Ingredient | Toasty aroma | Roasted spices. The parentheses give what they are made of (spices and corn oil). The label does not say which spices. |
| たん白加水分解物（ゼラチン）hydrolyzed protein (gelatin) | Ingredient | Umami | Protein broken down into amino acids and similar substances. It is treated as a food, not a food additive. The “ゼラチン” (gelatin) in the parentheses is the raw material, and it appears to be the source of the “ゼラチン” in the allergen labeling. |
| 香辛料オイルspice oil | Ingredient | Aroma | Oil that has taken on the aroma of spices. The official page does not say what it contains. |
| ソースパウダーsauce powder | Ingredient | Umami and sourness | Sauce made into a powder. The official page does not say what it contains. |
| 調味料（アミノ酸等）seasoning (amino acids, etc.) | Food additive | Umami | A food additive that adds umami, such as monosodium glutamate. Umami additives may be listed under the group name “調味料” (seasoning), and “（アミノ酸等）” is added when amino acids are the largest part. The label does not tell you what is in it or how many kinds. |
| カラメル色素caramel color | Food additive | Coloring (colorant) | A brown pigment made by heating sugar and similar materials. For colorings whose names include the character “色” (color), the rule allows leaving out the function name “着色料” (colorant). There are 4 types by production method (I to IV), but the label does not tell you which one is used. |
| 酸味料acidulant | Food additive | Flavor adjustment | A group name for additives that add sourness or adjust taste. Because the group name is allowed, the label does not say what is actually used. |
