Tom Baker <\/a>(Chiba<\/a>, 1989-91) is writing a 47-part weekly series of posts on his Tokyo Tom Baker blog<\/a>, in which he samples and comments on a curry from a different prefecture each week. Here\u2019s an excerpt from his tenth installment, about Miyazaki Prefecture<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

To set the scene, Miyazaki is on the east coast of Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan\u2019s four main islands. In recent years, this prefecture made national news quite often. Partly this was because a famous television comedian named Hideo Higashikokubaru <\/a>was its governor from 2007 to 2011. And partly it was because during his term outbreaks of bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease led to strict quarantines and massive culls of chicken, cattle and pigs. Nearly 200,000 chickens <\/a>and more than 200,000 head of livestock <\/a>had to be killed and disposed of, in a severe blow to the prefecture\u2019s farmers, especially those who produce Miyazaki\u2019s famous\u00a0beef.<\/p>\n

But in addition to agriculture, Miyazaki\u2019s economy also includes the activities of Nyutabaru Air Base<\/a>. And those activities include making curry. This weekend I picked up some Nyutabaru Air Base curry at the Miyazaki antenna shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The curry I tried came in two flavors: spicy beef and mild chicken. The beef has a photo of an F-4EJ Phantom jet <\/a>on the box, while the chicken is adorned with a pair of F-15s<\/a>.<\/p>\n
