This type of dish is called ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’. ‘Shiru-kake Gohan’ is something that most ordinary Japanese people enjoy to eat, but you will never see at any Japanese restaurants or eateries in the world. It is ‘cooked rice covered with soup’.

You know cooked rice and soup are the main food for Japanese style meal. We sometimes pour the soup over the rice and eat together. ‘Miso Soups’ and soy sauce flavoured ‘Clear Soups’ are all good, but this ‘Curry Flavoured Pork Soup on Rice’ is something that should be eaten this way!
