Curry has become Japan's favorite dish, enjoyed by people of all ages in every part of the country. It is a staple found in homes, schools, and workplaces. It is so popular that it is featured in anime and manga. It even has its own emoji (🍛)!
Curry was brought to Japan by the British in the late 1800s and the Japanese people adapted it to suit their tastes, resulting in a dish that is rich, complex, yet well balanced, with a slight sweetness and a thick consistency. Considered much milder than Indian curry, the prominent taste comes from the use of umami-rich ingredients, with a noticeable sweetness added through fruits and deeply caramelized aromatics.
