（Soup Curry)
Soup curry is a Japanese style curry dish originating from Sapporo in Hokkaido. It is said that a chef of the cafe called "Ajanta" took the idea of Chinese and Korean herb soup and South Indian curry and created "Yakuzen Curry" in 1971. In 1993, the restaurant "Magic Spice" had the idea of adding an Indonesian dish called "soto ayam" to curry and created the first "soup curry". It instantly became popular in Sapporo and many restaurants in the area started to provide their own styles of soup curry. In 2002, there were over 200 soup curry restaurants and it came to be recognized as the most famous of Hokkaido's B-kyuu gourmet foods.
The soup is made of different kinds of meat and several kinds of spices. Other ingredients such as chicken leg and deep fried vegetables (green pepper, paprika, eggplant, lotus root, etc.) can be added to the soup.
