Curry

Curry is one of Japan's most popular dishes.  In the USA, sushi is very popular as a Japanese dish but we don't make it often at home.  Making sushi is usually for a special occasion.  In contrast, many Japanese make curry at home very often. The great thing about Japanese style curry is that with the simplicity of the recipe, everyone can enjoy tasty dish.  Many people have their original recepes.  Japanese curry is less spicy and thicker than the Thai and Indian curry.  Commonly, it is served in three ways which is curry rice, curry noodle and curry bread.  Various types of curry are sold in boil-in-the-bag pouches and roux blocks.  It is not at all an exaggeration to say that curry is the national food of the Japanese.
