Packed with Fresh Kagoshima-Grown Vegetables
Kagoshima is known for its fertile volcanic soil, which produces some of Japan’s most flavorful vegetables. The Kagoshima Vegee Curry is a visual and culinary delight, loaded with sweet potatoes, lotus root, pumpkin, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Each ingredient is carefully selected to highlight its natural sweetness and texture, making every bite an explosion of flavor.
Sakurajima Daikon: The Star Ingredient
One of the highlights of this curry is the Sakurajima Daikon, one of the world’s largest radishes. With its signature sweetness and tender texture, this local specialty blends seamlessly into the curry, enhancing its richness and depth. Unlike regular daikon, the Sakurajima variety turns soft and almost creamy when simmered, adding a unique touch to the dish.
100% Vegan & Halal-Friendly: A Curry for Everyone
Cafe Banvina’s Kagoshima Vegee Curry is completely plant-based, free of animal products, and alcohol-free, making it suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and those following a halal diet. In a country where vegan and halal options are still limited, this dish is a step forward in promoting food inclusivity in Japan.
