So, as part of the promotion, the city\u2019s food manufacturer, Global Foods Corporation, has developed \u2018Asakuchi Space Curry\u2019 (as you do!).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"ja\">\n<p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u661f\u7a7a\u306e\u7f8e\u3057\u3055\u3067\u77e5\u3089\u308c\u308b\u5ca1\u5c71\u770c\u6d45\u53e3\u5e02\u3067\u300c\u5b87\u5b99\u30ab\u30ec\u30fc\u300d\u304c\u8a95\u751f\u3057\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5b87\u5b99\u3092\u601d\u308f\u305b\u308b\u6f06\u9ed2\u306e\u30eb\u30fc\u304c\u7279\u5fb4\u3067\u3059\u3002 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UQBFfu23CM\">https:\/\/t.co\/UQBFfu23CM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VHRMtXLfQb\">pic.twitter.com\/VHRMtXLfQb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u671d\u65e5\u65b0\u805e\u30c7\u30b8\u30bf\u30eb\u7de8\u96c6\u90e8 (@asahicom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/asahicom\/status\/977870216070942725?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">2018\u5e743\u670825\u65e5<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nThis curry\u2019s major characteristic is its completely black sauce, coloured with bamboo charcoal. This unusual colour for curry is, apparently, inspired by the black hole. This sauce contains the beef pieces, onions, carrots, you know, the usual suspects in the Japanese-style curry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite its ominous colour, it is said that the heat is mild so that children and the elderly can enjoy it too.<\/p>\n<p>One portion (200g) is roughly \u00a34.00. Quite reasonable to experience the black hole, and you eat it rather than being eaten. But, you will need to save up for not-soreasonable flight tickets first, as this curry is only available in the Asakuchi Astronomy Museum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Okayama is one of 47 Japanese prefectures, located in the western part of Honshu, Japan\u2019s mainland.
