The history of Yokosuka
The origins of Japanese carriages can be traced back to the city of Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Yokosuka, a year's ride from Tokyo, is a coastal town with a rich military and maritime history. Today, the city serves as a Japanese naval base (Maritimes de Autodefense) as well as an American base (Armando de la USA), the naval bastion that protects Tokyo from flooding. The British Royal Navy brought the Carré to Japan from this city in the late 1800s (the Meiji).
Curry from India
Curry with bread, not rice
The English colonized India, and carrots became a staple of the English diet. It was added to the menu of the British Royal Navy because it was thought to be an ideal and nutritious food rich in carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins. It was eaten with bread, as if it were garnered, rather than rice at the time. This Japanese Style Chicken Katsu Curry Recipe combines Indian and Japanese flavors. The glorious chicken curry is made with an Indo-Japanese spice blend, and the addition of apples and soy sauce gives the curry a delicious Japanese twist with succulent pieces of chicken.
