What's Japanese Curry ?







 

History and origin

    Curry, this word came from "Kari" which means sauce in Tamil language. It has a long and mysterious history; its emergence had been recorded at almost the same time in many regions around the world. But the record that has the most obvious evidence seems to appear in Mesopotamia period, curry was mentioned in the ancient cuneiform writing. However, the true birth place is still unknown.
    Using of curry as an ingredient in various dishes was originated from India during Vedic period. It had become a favorable menu and then became a part of their daily dishes. Afterwards, the popularity of curry had spread out to many countries nearby such as Thailand, Burma, Philippines, Indonesia, and China. Nowadays, curry had become a well-known menu around the world. After the adoption of curry in many countries, they also develop into their own taste. One of the most famous adopted curry styles is Japanese style curry; people all around the world love its savour.  
    During Meiji period (1868–1912), the British introduced the menu to Japan. It was when India was still the colony of Britain. Japanese called this menu (カレー) or Kare which is the transliteration from curry. During the earliest stage, curry and rice was an expensive gourmet dish for wealthy class.
    The distinction between Japanese and Indian style curry: for Indian style, curries are the mixture of spices but for Japanese style, curries are made from curry powder. After the adaptation, this thick sauce menu had also become a popular dish in Japan.
