<Enjoy the delicious food of Yokosuka>
Simple and wild is the traditional style of the US Navy.
Yokosuka Navy Burger
Hamburgers were established as military food for the US Navy at the beginning of the 20th century. When a US military base was established in Yokosuka, various American cultures were introduced into the city, and Yokosuka became one of the "homelands of the hamburger." In 2008, the US Navy Yokosuka Base presented the traditional Navy hamburger recipe to Yokosuka City as a token of friendship. The simple style is made of a 100% lean beef patty with no fillers, topped with onions and tomatoes. It is also characterized by its large size. Based on this recipe, the "Yokosuka Navy Burger" began to be served in restaurants in the city. While maintaining the traditional recipe, each restaurant has added their own unique twist. It is fun to taste and compare the unique characteristics of each burger.
The roots of this "national dish" are recreated going back to the Meiji period.
Yokosuka Navy Curry
During the Meiji period, a Japanese navy surgeon noticed a curry-flavored stew eaten by British sailors. It was adopted as a navy meal because it was nutritionally balanced and easy to prepare. Eventually, "curry rice" was born, thickened with flour and served over rice. It spread throughout the country from Yokosuka, the navy's base. Yokosuka Navy Curry is a reproduction of the taste of that time, based on a recipe written in the "Navy Cooking Reference Book" published in 1908. In addition to basic rules such as "make the roux by frying curry powder and flour," "add beef or chicken, carrots, onions, and potatoes," and "serve with chutney, milk, and salad," each restaurant is popular for its own unique and distinctive curry.

Yokosuka's locally produced gourmet food
Yokosuka City, located on the Miura Peninsula, is surrounded by the sea on three sides: Tokyo Bay and Kanada Bay to the east, and Sagami Bay to the west. It is a fishing kingdom that represents the Kanto region. A wide variety of seafood is landed at fishing ports such as Sajima, Nagai, and Hashirimizu. On land, Yokosuka is also a thriving agricultural region. With a warm climate and frequent sea breezes, the fields in the hills produce a wide variety of crops throughout the year, from colorful vegetables such as cabbage, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, and pumpkins to fruits such as watermelon and strawberries. Farmers' shops and morning markets where these local ingredients can be found are popular and attract many visitors from outside the prefecture. Restaurants and cafes that serve menus themed around local production and consumption are also attracting attention.
