“Kure Kaiji Curry” is a specialty of Kure, the town of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
In the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, there is a custom of eating curry every Friday in order not to forget the sense of the day of the week, and there are different recipes for each ship and unit.
As for Kure Kaiji's curry, they were taught the recipe directly from the cook, and the captain said, “This is our curry!” Only those that have been approved are allowed to be served, and it is truly the “real” flavor!
Since each store offers curry from one unit, one of the attractions is that you can enjoy different flavors from store to store, such as “what you can eat at this store is curry from the escort ship 00.”
