I kind of like eating japanese curry from time to time (not that original, Indian stuff is worse - it's just too spicy and watery for me) - S&B stuff, Kokumaro and so on is pretty tasty. However, also expensive, especially since I cannot get it locally and - I suspect - not as good as real, freshly mixed stuff would be.
Thus, I plan to make it the proper way, from scratch. While I roughly know what spices/ingredients go into this, the ratios and proper preparation is a bit of an unknown.
Is any anon knowledgeable enough to drop a recipe for simple curry powder/roux that will allow me to make something relatively similar to above-mentioned brands?

Glad to know that, though it still leaves the issues of price and availability of the boxed stuff here (former heavily inflated, latter seriously tricky).

Japanese curry is based on a British military recipe. Given that it was an official documented recipe for the British (and later Japanese) navies, it should be easy to find it online.
The basic procedure is to make a roux using flour and fat, then the spices are added. The ingredients would be cheap, but there will be some not-insignificant effort involved in making the dark roux. That requires a long time and constant attention to avoid burning.

That's a metric ton of effort for some curry sauce.
