Japanese curry Thoughts

This post is basically introducing our curry and wine event - the tickets and details are here but I would like to write about how deeply attached Japanese people are to Japanese curry.

Part one:

When one hears the word "curry," thoughts of India's aromatic spices or Thailand's rich and flavorful dishes might spring to mind, especially in the Western world. However, in the unique culinary landscape of Japan, "curry" takes on an entirely different meaning—it refers to none other than Japanese curry, a dish that has solidified its place as one of an important food culture. Japanese curry is far more than just a dish; it's a cultural emblem of comfort, nostalgia, and unity.

In a country renowned for its iconic dishes like Sushi and Ramen, Japanese curry holds a distinct position due to its widespread popularity transcending generations. From the youngest members of the family to the elders, this dish has managed to capture the hearts and taste buds of people from all walks of life.

One of the remarkable aspects of Japanese curry is its accessibility. While Sushi requires a level of craftsmanship and Ramen demands meticulous preparation, Japanese curry takes a more approachable route. Thanks to the availability of pre-packaged curry roux from various companies in Japan, each household can infuse their unique touch into this beloved dish, creating a personal curry recipe that resonates with their taste preferences.

Interestingly, despite the convenience of boxed curry, it's not uncommon for families to have their own special curry recipes passed down through generations. This culinary tradition adds a heartwarming touch to the dish, making each serving a connection to cherished memories and a symbol of home-cooked comfort.

For many, the mere mention of Japanese curry triggers fond recollections of mother's ideas in their home kitchen. The nostalgic aroma wafting through the house, the anticipation of gathering around the dinner table, and the heartwarming flavors that never failed to bring solace—these elements combine to form a memory of home cooking.

The significance of Japanese curry extends beyond personal kitchens and into various aspects of Japanese society. Even within school cafeterias or school meal at the classes, this dish maintains its revered status. It's not uncommon to find Japanese curry as a monthly staple on school menus, further solidifying its role as a culinary touchstone that unites people of all ages.

So and so, our curry is not like a home edition, that is unable to make it usual home since it requires complex processes.

Overall, we hope you will enjoy tasty Japanese curry and wine at our event, the details are here.
