JS Myoko Beef Curry "Tango Kuromatsu Special"
JS Myoko Beef Curry
We faithfully reproduced the recipe for the curry served on board the JS Myoko. This curry is based on the actual recipe that won first place in a curry contest held on board, and this “official ship meal” was created with the guidance of the ship's cooks and the captain’s approval.
Pickled Vegetables and Kanzaki Chinese Scallions
The pickled shallot of Kanzaki has a feeling by the cultivation in the sandy area briskly and has abundant minerals by the sea breeze from the sea, too.
Please enjoy the curry with fresh Chinese scallions grown in Kanzaki, Maizuru.

Croquettes based on nikujaga, a meat and potato stew that originated in Maizuru.
