Curry is considered to be one of the national dishes of Japan. It was introduced by the British in the late 19th century, and, until relatively recently, was believed to be a Western dish.
Japanese curry is based on Western-style curry which draws its influence from stews mixed with curry powder, which were popular amongst the British Navy. It is commonly poured on top of rice and is also popular in South Korea and other parts of East Asia.
