What exactly is Japanese curry?

Curry, or kare, is an extremely popular dish in Japan and a staple of everyday cuisine. It was originally brought to Japan by the British in the 19th century and has since become one of the Japanese people’s favourite dishes.

Japanese curry is milder and sweeter compared to other Asian curries and is often served with rice (Kare Raisu) , Udon noodles (Curry Udon) or in bread (Kare Pan). It is particularly popular with children and families and is often prepared in large quantities.

Curry udon combines two Japanese classics: soft, thick Udon noodles and a rich, spicy curry broth. The recipe is particularly popular on cold days and makes for a hearty, warming meal. The combination of the curry’s mild heat and the Umami-rich brodo Dashi makes this dish a unique culinary experience.
