Ōminato Navy Croquettes
A legendary menu item once served to the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force
About Ōminato Navy Croquettes
Ōminato Navy Croquettes (大湊海軍コロッケ, Ōminato kaigun korokke) are said to have been inspired by the croquette recipe once served to the Imperial Japanese Navy stationed in Ōminato, in present-day Mutsu City, Aomori Prefecture, during the Meiji era.
These croquettes are fried using beef tallow, which imparts a tantalizingly aromatic fragrance and a rich depth of flavor not achievable with pork fat. Furthermore, the ingredients are carefully sourced from the Shimokita region, featuring fresh, high-quality local seafood such as squid and scallops. Enjoy this delightful combination of history and local flavors!
