Tom Baker <\/a>(Chiba<\/a>, 1989-91) has begun a 47-part weekly series of posts on his Tokyo Tom Baker blog<\/a>, in which he will sample and comment on a curry from a different prefecture each week. Here\u2019s his second installment, about Kagawa Prefecture<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Kagawa is the smallest of Japan\u2019s 47 prefectures. It has a total land area of about 1,870 square kilometers, making it about half the size of Long Island, New York. Most of Kagawa occupies the northeastern corner of Shikoku, but much of it is scattered across more than a dozen islands in the Seto Inland Sea. The 13-kilometer Seto Ohashi bridge hopscotches across a couple of the smaller islands to connect Kagawa with Okayama Prefecture, on the main island of Honshu.
\nThe largest of Kagawa\u2019s islands is Shodoshima, which boasts two major products: soy sauce and olives. Lots of places in Japan are proud of their local soy sauce, but olives are unusual. In 1908, this island became the first place in Japan to successfully cultivate them. The prefecture even has a local professional baseball team called the Kagawa Olive Guyners.
\nIngredients in the olive curry I\u2019ve picked to represent Kagawa include olives, olive oil, and olive leaf tea\u2026<\/p>\n
