You know, curry is popular there in Japan that I thought that it originated from Japan LOL XD

Indian make the curry! When 1Xth century they bring the food to the EAST! 1st Place on East sure is the Straits of Malacca,..So now everyone in Msia know curry.. Every one in South East Asia knows curry. Then they bring this culture to Far East such as China+Japan when they are on Business. Curry is Hot Curry is Spicy!!!! Remember this! Sweet or other taste of curry are not original curry!!!!!!!

Well yeah I know the Indians made the curry. It was just that the first time I saw it years ago was in an anime and I thought it was made by the Japanese. Took me sometime before I found out that it came from India x_x

Japanese curry that I tasted was sweet~~~ even I chose for the spiciest....... thus I alway mix with Shichimi Togarashi chili powder ^o^
(ID #440539) Posted on 2009/01/09 00:53
i wanted to try and make some myself, however every recipe requires "curry sauce mix" (S&B Golden Curry or other brand) or other premade curry paste or blocks. i cant find it in local supermarkets here, so i gave up after not finding a way to make the sauce myself... if anyone has a good recipe plz share ^^ thx
(ID #440540) Posted on 2009/01/09 00:54
Love to try it! But I bet the best Curry in the world is From my Country!!! My mum cook the best curry all the time!!Chicken,Pork,Mutton,Fish,Vegetables even Turkey Curry are her best dish. I heard some Taiwan cook curry with potato, they are using it as the curry soup. IN Malaysia we use Potato as a sub Food. My mum learn the vegetables curry from her Indian Friend who is Vegeterian. Chicken,Pork,Mutton....All Learn from her old Grand Ma! Danny if you come Malaysia..don't only try Char Siew Fan,hainan Chicken Rice..Try curry here! Indian,Malay or Chinese Curry are Best in here!

That curry looks like the curry I make, It all waterish, good for mixing with noddles, if not too salty could be drank like soup. However I also like the chunky ver too.

reminds me of the minami-ke episode where kana made curry for dinner... Kana: "It seems too thick" Chiaki: "No choice but to water it down" Kana: "Now it looks too watery" Chiaki: "Add more powder" goes on a couple times and they end up with 3 pots of curry ^^;

For some reason, it has been imported into local grocery. I can not determine if it the "authentic" flavor, of course, but it is not bad.

Being someone who's used to the 'normal' spicy curry (who in Malaysia isn't), it was certainly a strange experience when I had my first Japanese curry. I don't dislike it, but can't say I like it either.

There's something about Japanese version of curry that tastes different from the normal Indian curry. Although I really like curry, I try not to eat too much.

During my trip to Japan, I think karerice was the one thing I ate most. Cheap and tasty, perfect for cold weather! I also ate few days ago... my aunt made it. Here in Brazil it's also something japanese decendants do... but it's a bit different from the japanese one. We use powder indian curry (it's a little bit stronger and more yellowish), in my family people usually throw lots of veggies together (tasty), and we don't use much sugar... But I guess I like both versions.

I adore curry. I've been to Japan only once and hadn't had the chance to try it, so I'm not sure how authentic the stuff I had over in Portland (probably not even close). I have had authentic (homemade) Indian curry and curry is popular in Korean cuisine (which I eat alot). The curry in the picture looks scrumptious.

First time I had Japanese curry was on a JAL flight from HK to Okinawa. Smelt really distinctive especially packed in a cabin and probably reheated in a microwave. Tasted like no other curry I had before. Much sweeter but still chilli hot and thick at the same time. Later there was this small Japanese takeaway place around the corner of my old work place. Really thick and tasty, almost like a stew and I'm guessing the chef cooked it overnight or something. I used to be addicted to their katsu curry don! Man, thinking about it just makes me hungry!!

I find Japanese curry is be a lot more milder than any of the other curries I've had. Although, it is entirely possible that I've just been getting the wimp curry. Never had curry soup though...Looks way too thin and oily. Oh, and Danny, never noticed this before, but you have a huge watch. Digital and analog? Isn't that a bit of overkill? Must weigh a ton.

Japanese curry! One of the things I miss from Japan, especially the instant kind, it's so convenient and doesn't taste like dog poo. I love curry in Japan, but I do tend to prefer the Indian kind instead. It's got more flavor to it (usually).

Have never had japanese curry before (I don't think I've ever had curry before, for that matter). I think I'd like to try it if I got the chance though, I might have to fight the whole multi-cultural eww urges though. There's already enough American food I can't stand. (I'm referring to whatever ingredients Japanese may use that Americans don't use.) It's all in my head though, I'd try it if I got the chance XD

(ID #442606) Posted on 2009/01/10 15:45
All I've ever had was those instant curry packets where you poil the entire package in hot water for 5 minutes and them pour it over beef or croquette that's next to rice. The consistency is perfect though. The one in your picture looks a bit watery-er, but I'm sure it tastes splendid. Since I'm not sure they can charge you close to $10 if it's not.
