It is not too much to say that curry rice is a national dish in Japan.

We use usually curry roux (=curry stocks which are made from curry powder, flour, oils and various flavourings ) to cook curry at home.

If you come to Japan, you should try Japanese curry rice!
Or if you can get Japanese curry roux in your country, please cook Japanese curry.

Note:
Because curry roux contains meat extract, it can not be brought in most countries. It is forfeited at customs. Some curry roux only contains vegetable extract but I don’t know if it can be brought in your country.
