Navy Curry (Sasebo)

Pour plenty of the thick, dark-colored roux over your rice. The aroma of spices and the umami from the slow-simmered ingredients will make you unable to stop your spoon. It is said that the roots of Japanese curry trace back to the Navy during the Meiji era. It began when the Navy, adopting British styles, introduced it as a dish to efficiently obtain nutrition. It was a logical menu item that provided both vegetables and meat in a single dish. In the maritime city of Sasebo, there is active regional revitalization using the curry of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Notably, the tradition of 'Curry on Fridays' is said to have spread through the later Maritime Self-Defense Force rather than the former Navy. It is a deeply nourishing dish loved by men of the sea.
