  • The newest model of the Japanese Self Defense Force, Combat Ration Type 1 is a lightweight, stripped down to the basics ration that provides nothing but some of the most delicious and easy to comfort foods, curry, and rice that you can find in a modern ration. Including it's own tray, a heavy-duty spork, and issued separately, a high-octane FRH that not only heats the food perfectly, it cooks the rice. In this review we check out 3 JSDF Combat Ration Type 1's and without any wasted time, 3 meals including a sweet & savory ground pork in sauce, a meatloaf of sorts with onion & tomato sauce, and a delectable pork curry.

    Japan has also started supplying a new food item called 'stick rice(スティックライス)'.

      Stick rice is cooked rice, seasoned and hardened with Guar Gum in a retort pouch.
      Japanese-style mixed rice is made into sticks. It is not dried spaghetti or 봉지라면 (instant noodles).
      As with military rations of all countries, it tastes better when heated, but stick rice does not need to be heated to be tasty.

    Japanese curry comes from British-style curries back in the late 19th century, started out as military food there and then became widely popular. It's actually still a tradition in the JMSDF today that's been going since the pre-WWI IJN: Friday is curry day on board of all JMSDF ships - and each ship has its own recipe, some of them pretty unusual.

    It is a menu structure that emphasizes calorie quickly rather than appearance and luxury.
    Field kitchens usually provide hot meals, but rations are eaten when these cannot be provided.
    Soldiers take turns eating in the trenches. To eat quickly, warm the retort pouch in your clothes and eat it without transferring it to a tray. We are instructed to bury and dispose of garbage so as not to leave the number of people and information to the enemy.
