Want something warm, cheap and cheerful for lunch and dinner around Sapporo Station in Hokkaido? Instead of having ramen all the time, soup curry is a good alternative. Some said that curry began in Hokkaido Japan and started to spread all over the country. On the Internet, you may find the history of curry introduced to Japan by the British back in Meiji Period (1868-1912) when India was still a colony.
Since then the Japanese has improvised curry to their own taste: sweeter I think. I still remember that the traditional “Japanese curry” was a kind of thick sweet curry with a bit of meat (mostly beef) to go with rice. In recent years, soup based curry with Indian taste has become a food trend.
Soup curry usually comes with lots of fresh vegetables in Hokkaido. There is an option of adding chicken, beef and pork, and a choice of spiciness.
