Japanese Curry Rice
Rice served with a thick, mild, mostly sweet curry sauce made from a roux block, simmered with potato, carrot, onion, and beef.
Where it comes from
Japanese curry rice descends from British curry, introduced during the Meiji era through the Royal Navy and adopted by the Japanese navy, which thickened it with a flour-based roux distinct from Indian curry.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over building a roux from scratch with butter, flour, and curry powder versus using the boxed roux blocks most households rely on, and over how long to simmer the vegetables.
