1 Yokosuka’s food

  • Navy curry

The most famous food in Yokosuka City is navy curry. Navy curry differs from ordinary curry in ingredients. Navy curry is made of curry powder and flour and cow fat. It was beriberi that used to be the biggest cause of the number of deaths in the navy. We thought it was due to a diet with a balanced diet and tried to improve the food supply by referring to the British Navy’s military diet. That’s navy curry !The MSDF still has a habit of eating curry and rice every Friday. I recommend it because there are many restaurants in Yokosuka City where you can eat navy curry

A hamburger eaten in the US Navy. Burger recipe was provided as a symbol of friendship between Yokosuka base and Yokosuka city , and based on that ,Yokosuka Navy Burger developed by Yokosuka.
