Navy Curry (Maizuru)

The moment you open the lid, the aroma of spices wafts out. When you take a bite of the thick, rich roux poured over rice, it tastes nostalgic and so delicious that you'll find yourself wanting seconds. Maizuru is the birthplace of Navy Curry. It is said that the oldest recipe of the Imperial Japanese Navy is 'Karei Rice,' which appeared in the 'Reference Book for Naval Cookery' published by the Maizuru Marine Detachment in 1908. Being nutritious, easy to make in large quantities, and above all, delicious—it was a highly valued dish aboard ships. Even today, Friday is 'Curry Day' in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. This is a tradition to help sailors keep track of the days of the week even during long voyages. In the city of Maizuru, you can enjoy curry that recreates these vessel-specific recipes.
