Japanese Curry – Typical Japanese style curry called curry rice.
Speaking of the curry, many people probably think of India.
Of course, there are many delicious Indian restaurants in Japan that serve many varieties Indian curry.
However, curry is also a national dish for Japanese people.
And many people probably have their own taste of curry rice, which is called “the home taste”. (In Japan, it is sometimes called “mother’s taste” and has a taste that matches each family.)
The dish called “curry” may have its roots in India, but it is said that curry was brought to Japan from UK. I have heard that when it was brought from UK, it was already in the form of curry roux (thickened) as we know it today.
The staple food of Japan is rice. There are many ways to eat rice, and one of the most famous is to put something on top of rice in a bowl.
It is slightly different from a bowl with something on top of the rice, but the rice and curry are usually served on a single plate.
This is our opinion, but this style have taken hold because of the thickening of the curry.
Curry eaten in this style is called “curry rice” in Japan.
There are as many varieties of Japanese curry as there are in India.
For example, there are differences in the meat used in curry. The beef is the mainstream in the Kansai region where Osaka is located, The pork is the mainstream in the Kanto region where Tokyo is located. There are also curries that use chicken or fish meat. Of course, there are also vegetarian curries.
There are also a considerable number of vegetables, seafood, and other ingredients that can be added to curry.
Because of the combination of these ingredients, there are many types of curry.
In addition, there are cases in which another dish such as pork cutlet is served on top of the curry.
It is also delicious with curry over other Japanese foods such as udon or soba noodles.
Although different in style from curry rice, Hokkaido has a curry called soup curry. There is also a dish in which curry is served on top of udon or ramen noodles. So, it is easy to understand that curry became deeply ingrained in Japan and has become a national dish.
This is a Japanese dish that you should definitely try when you are in Japan.
In Japan, there are people who say, “Curry is a drink” or “Curry can be eaten forever.”
This is an example of how much they love curry and how they can eat as many dishes of curry as they want, anytime, anywhere.
When you eat curry in Japan, you should say “Curry is a drink” (kidding!).
Thanks.
