Katsu curry sauce mix and ready-made jars are both widely stocked in UK supermarkets, usually in the world food aisle.

Which aisle is katsu curry sauce in?

Katsu curry sauce, whether a mix or a ready jar, is in the world food aisle, in the Japanese or curry section.

Where to look, supermarket by supermarket

  1. World food aisle, Japanese section. Jars and sachets sold together.
  2. Some stores shelve ready-made jars with the general cooking sauces instead.

Aisle numbers move between branches, so use the section as your guide.

Where katsu curry sauce is in Tesco

Tesco stocks both S&B curry sauce mix and ready-made jarred katsu curry sauce in the world food aisle.

What to ask a member of staff

Ask for katsu curry sauce or curry sauce mix, and specify Japanese style if the shop also stocks Indian curry mixes nearby.

Asian supermarkets

A Japanese grocer carries a wider range of curry roux blocks and mixes than a UK supermarket typically does.

Buying it online

Curry roux blocks keep well, so buying a couple of boxes online is sensible if you make katsu curry often.

Storing it

Keep sachets and blocks in the cupboard. Once a jar of ready-made sauce is opened, refrigerate and use within a few days.

Frequently asked questions

Is katsu curry sauce spicy?

No, it is mild and slightly sweet, closer to a gentle curry gravy than a hot curry.

Can I make katsu curry sauce from scratch?

Yes, using a curry roux block or your own blend of curry powder, flour and stock, though the mix is a reliable shortcut.
