What Is Japanese Curry Rice?

Curry came to Japan from UK in Meiji era, but what we eat today is quite different from the very original one in India or the one in Europe. Since Japanese people often eat rice, curry has been developed to be a good topping to steamed rice.
     Japanese curry is made up of curry roux, onion, carrot, potato and meat/seafood. By using roux (mixture of spice and flour) curry becomes sticky, which makes it easier to eat with rice.
