Around The World of Curry
- Product Packaging Development
Japanese curry has a fascinating journey that began when it was introduced to Japan in the 1870s, brough along with other Western foods as Japan opened its ports to international trade. Originating from India, curry adapted uniquely to Japanee tastes and has since become a staple in Japanese cuisine, loved for its rich, savory flavor, and comforting warmth. In recent decades, Japanese culture has significantly influenced Indonesia, with an increasing appetite for Japanese fashion, music, anime, manga, and notably culinary delights. Japanese cuisine, in particular, gained widespread popularity in Indonesia which has become a favorite among food enthusiasts.
Recognizing this trend, Sasa Indonesia sought to tap into the market by partnering with House Foods Group, a renowned Japanese brand with a rich history dating back to 1913. The collaboration aimed to create a product that combines the authenticity of Japanese curry with the practicality desired by Indonesian consumers. The result is the Sasa House Kari Jepang, a ready-to-eat curry product that offers the autentic taste of Japanese curry at an affordable price, packaged for convenience and practicality.
EGGHEAD was tasked with developing the product packaging for this new product line, ensuring it communicated the blend of Japanese and Indonesian cultures and mad the product accessible and appealing to the Indonesian market.
