Why are you trying to keep your rice out of your curry, who eats them separately, that's insane

But the whole point of rice is to bulk out more expensive food. Even the expensive Japanese sticky rice is just there to stretch out the actual food.

Seriously. Soak my rice in my curry, soak my rice in my butter chicken, and soak my rice in my caldo and menudo. That's what that shit is for!

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.

Cheese curry is pretty common these days. The cheap chains like Yoshinoya and Sukiya have it, as does Coco's.

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

I'm less familiar with UK curries, but in general Japan tends to prefer sweeter food than India, so the curries would reflect those differences. Nowadays (in the last 5-10 years-ish) spicier options have become more widely available, but the traditional dishes still reflect the differences.

I don't know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good

I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks

Okay but isn't it the whole purpose of the rice, to be flooded with curry?

Nnnoooo, god damn it! I was in the midst of rewatching Voyager, and now you've seared "Janeway cheese" all across my perception! Thanks...

Never even tried any of them, because I have yet to see one that isn't just fat (mammal cheese has fat and protein). But I don't like Harzer Roller (a stinky soft cheese), either, and yet most people insist on calling it "cheese".

They look like those concrete things that they use to build embankments in the sea.

Isn't that the point? Those shapes are called tetrapod and this pretty much does the same thing preventing curry from mixing with rice. Although I don't understand why you would do that when you end up adding both when you eat anyway.

I see them and I hear the music from Katamari Damacy.

That's an insane amount of curry and cheese for that tiny portion of rice.
