Japanese curry

Sweet, thick stew

Japanese curry is a thick, mildly sweet curry sauce served over rice, typically with meat and vegetables.

Adapted from British curry in the late 1800s, it became a staple of Japanese home cooking and comfort food.

The sauce is often made from premade roux blocks, producing a milder, sweeter flavor than Indian or Thai curries: We grabbed Japanese curry from the place near the station.
