Japanese Style Curry

This curry is little different from the Japanese curry people are familiar with. The seasonings used here give this curry more of a Japanese umami flavor. It is a fantastic recipe to keep so you have options to switch is up sometimes. Try it out to taste the difference!

*In Japan we use thinly sliced pork but it is typically hard to find here in the States. I normally substitute this with ground pork.
