A new survey by TBS NEWS DIG has delved into the eternal debate among curry rice lovers: what is the ideal balance between rice and curry sauce? The investigation, part of the popular segment "Soresta," polled 100 people on their preferred ratio, ranging from "extra sauce" to "equal" to "less sauce."

The study examined both instant curry and restaurant-quality dishes to identify the "golden ratio" that satisfies the most palates. While the exact figures are still being analyzed, early results suggest that a slight bias towards sauce may be the key to the perfect bowl. The report also highlights the cultural significance of curry rice in Japan, where even minor adjustments to the sauce-to-rice ratio can spark passionate discussions.

Viewers are encouraged to weigh in on their own preferences, as the search for the ultimate curry rice experience continues.
