This time we are going to have some Kanji Reading Practice with a Curry Sauce Packet. Let’s learn how to read some instructions, in Japanese, for heating up a curry sauce packet in a microwave.

**I tagged this Kanji Reading Practice as WaniKani Level Painful and lower (20 and below) becuase 5 out of the 6 kanji are lower than WaniKani level 20. Only one of the kanji is level 33, which is the reason I also tagged it with WaniKani Level Hell and lower (40 and below).
