Plant-Based Japanese Curry

Cultural Context

Japanese curry, known as 'kare,' has its roots in the introduction of curry from the British during the Meiji era. Traditionally, it features a rich, thick sauce made with meat and vegetables, often served over rice. The plant-based version celebrates the same comforting flavors while catering to vegan diets, making it a popular choice among health-conscious eaters. Today, variations abound, with many enjoying it as a staple in Japanese households and beyond.
