What is Spaghetti Napolitan?<\/h2>\n\n

Spaghetti Napolitan (\u30ca\u30dd\u30ea\u30bf\u30f3, ‘Naporitan’) is a Japanese pasta dish with an unusual main ingredient: ketchup. It was invented after the Second World War in Yokohama by chef Shigetada Irie at the Hotel New Grand, who was inspired by US soldiers who prepared pasta there with tomato paste and sausages. As tomato sauce was hard to come by at the time, they simply used ketchup instead \u2013 and thus created a new cult Japanese dish.<\/p>\n\n

Although the name is reminiscent of the Italian city of Naples, Spaghetti Napolitan has little in common with classic Italian pasta. Instead, it is a prime example of so-called ‘Yoshoku’ cuisine \u2013 Japanese dishes with Western influences. Today, Napolitan is ubiquitous in Japan: whether in an izakaya, a school canteen or a konbini \u2013 hardly any other dish is so accessible and yet so beloved.<\/p>\n\n
