I use the S & B curry bricks and like them a lot. I'm sure homemade is better but it's not something I'd ever tackle.
I have read quite a few times that a lot of Japanese home cooks will mix and match curry bricks from different brands to come up with a preferred blend, and nearly all add a few "secret ingredients" to the pot.
Not sure if anyone else here is a video game nerd, but Sony published a Tasty-style video of the curry recipe from Cafe Leblanc in Persona 5. Kind of fun to watch.
Edited to add: this appears to be the full recipe. Only 26 ingredients! 😳
