The Japanese "golden curry" being talked about here is also based on a roux and more closely resembles an English gravy that has been juiced up with some warm spices, e.g. flavors like cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. The Japanese preparation includes chunks of meat and vegetables and is usually served over rice, but you could include root vegetables and skip the rice if you prefer... Because of the warm spices, my first taste of it actually gave me a nostalgic memory of my long gone grandfather who liked to cook "old world" German food. Germany was also influenced by the spice roads and incorporated a lot of these same spices into its cuisine.
