"A dish preserved by Japan's top hotel holds a dramatic history that shook the times." Around 1931, Mr. Bunjiro Ishiwatari, the 8th head chef of the Imperial Hotel, acquired a recipe from Escoffier's direct disciple, the father of modern French cuisine, and brought it back. That recipe is the origin of the Imperial Hotel's special curry, which is still loved today. This curry became nationally renowned after the "February 26 Incident" in 1936. In the freezing Tokyo under martial law, Chef Ishiwatari decided to serve "curry stew" to warm the bodies and souls of 500 soldiers on guard duty. It is said that the soldiers, deeply moved by this taste, returned to their hometowns and spread the word about its deliciousness, contributing to the widespread popularity of curry throughout Japan. The Imperial Hotel's curry embodies "two philosophies" that overturn common perceptions. First, a powerful texture that retains the coarseness of vegetables, allowing one to directly feel the sweetness and acidity of the ingredients. Second, the "à la minute" technique of sautéing meat only after an order is placed, sealing in the meat's natural juicy flavors. The price, exceeding 3,000 yen per serving, represents more than just a "meal"; it encapsulates a history of hospitality and the pride of craftsmen. "If you love curry, you must try it at least once in your life." The true essence of a "masterpiece among masterpieces" that Japan boasts. Please confirm its beautiful tradition and the weight of history felt with every spoonful in the video. ■ Public Video Masterpiece of European Curry, "Imperial Hotel" Beef Curry [Must-Eat Famous Curry Restaurants Series ②/3 times] The essence of "a once-in-a-lifetime dish" using ultimate French techniques, and the true nature of "curry" preserved by a long-established hotel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NxkoK1llsI Channel Name: Takehisa Inoue's Curry University President's Seminar Channel URL: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC0cY2hF4gb0qQQSv0VrQIeA/about Channel Content: Explores all phenomena of curry in a seminar format.
