I regularly eat Japanese curry, and sometimes Indian curry. Though I cannot explain well difference between them, I know it. And, I don't know well American/European styled curry.
I'm surprised the community people likes Japanese curry much more than I expected. As I thought there are little differences between Japanese and American/European, I've never expected Japanese curry pics gain a lot of upvotes. Just due to katsu or korokke toppings?

What’s european Curry? Asking as a European 👀
Not sure what American or European curry is supposed to be but I’ve noticed in America it’s usually veggies and meat slathered in some curry sauce. The curry I had in Japan looked like the pics you have where the curry itself could be enjoyed separate from the meat or veggies.
Fun Fact, the Japanese consider curry to be a western dish. In the 1800s, curry was introduced to Japan by British traders when Japan was opening itself up to the outside world.
That’s why when you see curry written in Japanese, it’s written as カレー (Kare), which is in Katakana, the script used for non-native Japanese words!
What in the world is American curry? We don’t have that here. We enjoy many different cultures curry because America is a melting pot of immigrant cultures, but there is no such thing as American curry.
American Curry is also known as slop, glop and Jabba the hut!
I cook so much Thai food when I hear curry I automatically think of the Malay Peninsula.
Maybe a better question is difference between Japanese curry you get in Japan and Japanese curry u get in the west?
Dang it, why’d you show me the Coco’s?
Thy all look the same to me
Matthew Li discusses the history and culture around Japanese curry in this vid: [https://youtu.be/rNJLZSAUIdo?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/rNJLZSAUIdo?feature=shared)
It’s not a long vid but I found it informative and interesting, as a non-Japanese person who studies cuisine.
One is delicious, and the other one is European
