History
↓↓
Curry rice is a Japanese adaptation of Indian curry, introduced to Japan via the British during the Meiji period (late 19th century). The Japanese version evolved to suit local tastes, becoming milder, thicker, and often served over rice. By the 20th century, curry rice became a popular home-cooked dish and school lunch staple. Today, it is one of Japan’s most beloved comfort foods, with regional variations and instant versions widely available.
