Curries And Stews

Six entries

Japanese curry is a thick, mildly sweet, deeply savoury stew-like preparation distinct from its Indian and Thai ancestral inspirations, built through the roux-thickened block culture of koku and yoshoku tradition. Accompaniment pickles — fukujinzuke and rakkyo — are as essential to the complete dish as the roux itself. This section also holds niku jaga, Japan's most beloved home comfort stew of meat, potato, and sweet-savoury dashi.
