Curry was introduced to Japan during the [[Meiji era]] (1868–1912). At the time, the [[Indian subcontinent]] was under [[British Raj|British colonial rule]].~~{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}~~ It is most likely that the British introduced the spice mix called curry powder to Japan. It was classified as {{lang|ja-Latn|[[yōshoku]]}} (Western style food) since it came from the West. The word ''curry'' was probably adopted into the [[Japanese language]] as {{Transliteration|ja|karē}} in the late 1860s, when Japan was forced to abandon its [[sakoku|isolation ({{lang|ja-Latn|cat=no|sakoku}})]] and came into contact with the [[British Empire]]. By the 1870s, curry began to be served in Japan.

Curry is commonly eaten as a [[rice dish]] in Japan, {{Transliteration|ja|karē raisu}} (curry rice). The oldest Japanese mention of a dish called {{Transliteration|ja|raisu karē}} (literally 'rice curry')—but as the misspelt {{Transliteration|ja|taisu karē}}—is in cookbooks from 1872. It was also described in an 1872 report, according to which [[Foreign government advisors in Meiji Japan|foreign experts]] ate this at the Tokyo branch of the [[Hokkaidō]] prefectural government. However, the word was popularized by American professor [[William S. Clark]] who was employed at the [[Sapporo Agricultural College]] (now [[Hokkaido University]]) in 1877. For 1873, there was a dish called curry rice on the menu of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] Military Academy.
