"The Curry Rice Song "


The curry as we know it in Japan didn`t first come from India but it`s actually the European style brought by the English in the early 1920`s.
This song is a simple description of the making process written comically by Saki Kineya.

The carrots, potatoes and onions are stir-fried then some seasoned beef, chicken or pork are added as one wishes. Mix some spices, put them all in a pot, simmer them and there you go.

Tears would fall from chopping the onions, put on a pair of swimming goggles and you are right in the midst of the ocean. Don`t forget the seafood either, which type should we have tonight?

Chop Chop Chop round, random or in sticks.
Green, Yellow, Red, all sorts of colours exist.
Open the rice cooker and oh dear, one forgot to cook the rice.

We have Indian, English, cross the ocean and you have Thai, Nepalese, Pakistani. Different styles but Shinjuku Nakamura-ya is the go to in Japan.
So come come everyone be happy.

The scene is set with Children`s smiles and Curry Rice.
