What Is Hokkaido White Curry Recipe?
The history of curry came from India. After Japan started to import ingredients from other parts of the world, the Japanese began to make curry by using various ingredients such as beef, pork, chicken, and fish. This is a very popular dish in Japan!
Even though it is thought that Japanese curry originated from India, it is not true because the first curry was born in England to fulfill the needs of British sailors who needed foods that were hot and delicious when they went on long voyages.
The curry of India and the curry of Japan are made with different ingredients. However, these two curries are both delicious!
The curry ingredient was brought to Japan’s main island through the Dutch and British Trading Companies in the middle of the 18th century. Soon after, it is used as a common food in Japan. It has a mild taste but is very tasty.
