Kare Raisu - Japanese curry

Kare raisu is Japanese curry with rice. British sailors brought Indian curry to Japan during the Meiji era, and the Japanese transformed it into a thick, mildly sweet sauce with gentle spicing.

The base consists of onion, carrot, and potato with meat. Most Japanese use ready-made curry blocks (roux). It is often served with a tonkatsu cutlet.
