Japanese curry is a popular dish in Japan, known for its thick, rich sauce and mild flavor. It typically consists of a curry roux made from a blend of spices, flour, and fat, which is then mixed with meat, vegetables, and water. Common ingredients include chicken, beef, pork, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Served over steamed rice, Japanese curry is often accompanied by pickled vegetables called fukujinzuke or rakkyo. Unlike other types of curry, it is usually sweeter and less spicy, making it a favorite comfort food for many. It can also be enjoyed in various forms, such as curry udon or curry bread.
