Kure Navy Curry

The aroma of spices rises with the steam, and the thick, simmered roux envelops the rice. It is a dish that feels somewhat nostalgic and provides a boost of energy. In the Meiji-era Navy, Western-style cuisine was introduced to prevent beriberi, and 'rice curry' was one of the menu items. Kure, which hosted the Imperial Navy's naval district and still serves as a base for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, is truly a city with deep ties to curry. Since 2015, in collaboration with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, 'Kure JMSDF Curry,' which reproduces the specific flavors of different vessels, has been served at restaurants within the city. Note that while it is often said that the tradition of eating curry on Fridays is 'to maintain a sense of the days of the week,' this is considered a myth. A meticulous taste comparison, with each vessel offering a different flavor. A true delicacy unique to the seaside city of Kure.
