Japanese Western food town Maizuru [Curry and rice] The story of the beginning

Japanese Western food town Maizuru [Curry and rice] The story of the beginning

Maizuru was once a military port city where the Chinmu Office, the base of the Japanese Navy, was located. Maizuru has long been in contact with other countries, and various Western cuisines were introduced to the area. One such dish is curry and rice, now a staple in the city's menu. In the city, original curry dishes invented by various restaurants are also a hot topic of conversation.

During the Meiji era (1868-1912), Kanehiro Takagi, a naval doctor, was distressed that many soldiers were dying of beriberi (beriberi), and adopted curry, which was eaten by the British army, as a medical treatment food. It is said that curry became popular in the Japanese Navy because of its good taste and nutritional balance. This was taken over by the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and now every Friday has become a curry day.
