The last topic is curry rice. Curry rice is very
popular in Japan, and I guess most children answer curry rice when they are
asked what favorite food is. Originally, curry rice was made in India, and it
was introduced to Japan during the Meiji Period (1868-1912). The main ingredients
of Japanese curry rice are meat, potato, onions, and carrots. We usually add
the topping. For example, cheese, sausage, or eggs and maybe the most popular
topping is Katsu. Curry roux is made from a lot of Indian spices, such as
turmeric and cumin. Japanese curry rice is often accompanied with a garnish of
fukujinzuke (a slightly sweet mix of pickles) or rakkyo (pickled Japanese
scallion). I also like Indian curry and Thai curry. Indian curry is often eaten
with naan, which is oven-baked flatbread. Thai curry is roughly divided into
three; green, red, and yellow curry. They are spicy but very tasty.
