Fun fact: Curry rice is actually one of the most commonly eaten dishes in Japan.
It's the #1 comfort food for kids, so my wife cooks it quite often and I end up eating a ton of it, and yes it's yummy, though even the spiciest variant is not nearly as hot as Indian or Thai curries, which I also enjoy on occasion, along with Curry Laksa from Malaysia.
Damn, now I'm hungry.
