Town revitalization is born from an idea and the passion of local residents. “Japanese naval ship cuisine” first appeared in two cities with long ties to the Japanese Navy. I would like here to report on efforts made by the cities of Maizuru and Kure, famous as tourist destinations, and the present status of the ever-increasing boom in Japanese naval ship cuisine. I believe that it is my duty to pass on knowledge about genuine naval food culture to the next generation.
