Today four restaurants in Yokosuka started to sell the new hamburger called Yokosuka Navy Burger. In Yokosuka there are bases of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka known as Yokosuka US Navy base.
About 10 years ago Yokosuka City started producing Yokosuka kaigun kare (よこすか海軍カレー) , Yokosuka Navy Curry Rice using the recipe of JMSDF curry and it became a special food of Yokosuka.
On Nov. 19, 2008 Commander US Naval Forces Japan, Rear Admiral James D. Kelly gave the recipe of typical hamburgers produced aboard U.S. Navy ships and bases in Japan to the Mayor of Yokosuka City, Ryoichi Kabaya. Promoting the "Navy Burger" as a symbolic food of Yokosuka represents the strong and friendly relations between the U.S. Navy and Yokosuka citizens.
Yokosuka Navy Burger seems very simple taste of beef with sliced onion and tomato. It costs from yen 770 to yen 1,300 with French fries and soft drink.
Would you like to try?
