When people outside of Japan envision the daily diet of its people, sushi and sashimi likely come to mind. In reality, these are just some of the bites Japanese people consume on a regular basis. Another is curry. Although its origins can be traced back to India, it is said that the British introduced curry to Japan during the Meiji Era (1869-1913). Its spread across the country is often attributed to the Japanese army and navy, both of which relied heavily on the convenient, no-fuss dish when in the field. Now a mainstay on menus and in home kitchens, Japanese curry is a popular lunchtime dish that's served with rice and pickles and eaten with a spoon.
