Sapporo Soup Curry

Sapporo soup curry has a light, broth-like consistency rather than the thick sauce of many Japanese curries. Large pieces of green pepper, aubergine and carrot can accompany chicken or seafood such as shrimp and scallops. Broth bases vary, including shrimp and pork-bone versions. Restaurants commonly offer a choice of chilli heat and rice portion.[1][2]

One of its roots is traced to a dish served at the Sapporo café Ajanta in the 1970s, inspired by traditional medicinal cooking. Modern toppings include fried vegetables, softly cooked eggs and natto, the fermented soybean food.[1][2]
