About Moji Port Baked Curry

Moji Port Baked Curry (門司港焼きカレー, Moji-kō yaki kare) has a fascinating origin story. It is said to have been created at a Japanese restaurant called "Yamadaya" in Moji Port when leftover curry was poured into an earthenware pot and baked in the oven, giving it a gratin or doria-like twist. The result was an incredibly fragrant and delicious dish that later became a popular menu item.

The oven-baked curry, with some moisture removed, develops a rich, creamy depth of flavor, enhanced by the golden, slightly crisp curry sauce. Topped with melted cheese, it delivers an irresistible combination of textures and aromas. This is a must-try dish when visiting Moji Port!
