Most Japanese people use curry cubes S&B and Vermont curry are the two main brands. I prefer S&B, but both are good. "Hot" is not hot or spicy at all, Japanese food is generally not spicy and their idea of spicy is a lot less than ours.
I used the Vermont curry brand and just followed the instructions on the package.
I love making Japanese curry with ground meat instead of stew meats. If you have picky kids, replacing cubed stewing meat with ground meat in crockpot kind of recipes really helps.
Japanese curry is really easy to make. You buy curry roux (most American groceries will carry it in the Asian section but hit an Asian supermarket for more selection) and then brown your meat with onions in a pan. Then you add peeled potatoes and carrots and add water to cover and break up your roux into it and then just simmer until everything's soft and the sauce thickens and put leftovers in the fridge (or if you're like me and was raised with Asian parents that didn't grow up with refrigeration, you can reboil it after you're done and leave it on the stove : - S). You can also just throw everything in a crockpot, go to work, and come home to a tub of sweet curry. And have your home smell of curry for a few days.
The sauce itself is most traditionally eaten over rice but you can eat it with bread, over udon noodles or over spaghetti (all of which are authentic to how Japanese enjoy their curry)
It's a legit recipe. I've made this one many times, and it is delicious. It calls for brewed instant coffee and cocoa powder.
If you want to save a lot of time, you can get bricks of Vermont Curry in most grocery stores. It is a very close approximation of scratch made Japanese curry.
