Memories

The introduction of curry to Japan is said to have been in the early 1800s when Anglo-Indian Royal Navy sailors brought the curry powder of India combined with the sweet additions of apples to suit the British pallet to the shores of Japan. It was commonly cooked in army mess halls during the 1870s, as the curry was an easy way to feed large groups of soldiers and incorporate meat into their diet.
