About Yokosuka Navy Curry (Japanese naval-style curry)

Navy curry traces its roots to a dish devised during the Meiji era to help prevent beriberi among naval sailors. It provided a balance of meat and vegetables, and the wheat used in the curry roux was also thought to help prevent the condition. The recipe is simple, made with ingredients such as beef tallow, flour, and curry powder; its homemade quality gives it its gentle, uncomplicated flavor.
Today, ready-to-eat versions can be found in supermarkets. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is said to have a custom of eating curry every Friday.
