The History of Japanese Curry
It was 1800 when the British introduced curry powder and curries to Japan and at that time, the Britishers were already enjoying good curries from time to time. The actual Japanese curry was very simple stews that mixed with curry powder and arrived on British ships.
As time passed, the Japanese adjusted the curries according to their tastes and health by adding sweetening with honey, thickening the sauce, and blending apples along with other things. Because the Japanese were well aware of the health benefits of eating chicken, then a company named S&B started to produce a curry roux in 1950 and that ready-made curry was available in the market which families buy and easily and quickly whip up a curry whenever they want to enjoy this.
