Taco rice

Taco rice (タコライス, takoraisu) is a popular example of modern Okinawan cuisine.

[3][4][5][self-published source] Taco rice was created in 1984 by Matsuzo Gibo and introduced at two of his cafes, Parlor Senri and King Tacos, located just a minute from the main gate of Camp Hansen in Kin, Okinawa.

[6][7] Taco rice is a popular dish among U.S. military personnel stationed in Okinawa as lunch or late night food.

[7] In addition, Taco Bell offers it as a menu option at the chain's restaurant in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

The Tex-Mex flavor is sometimes replaced by the use of soy sauce, mirin and sake.
