Takoraisu

Taco rice is a Japanese dish hailing from Okinawa. It was created in 1984 as a dish for the US soldiers stationed in the prefecture. The dish consists of ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes served on a bed of short grain rice. The whole dish is traditionally topped with salsa.

The meat is seasoned with taco seasoning or a combination of common Japanese condiments if the taco seasoning is unavailable. What was once created for the American soldiers is now one of the best known dishes in Okinawa, and it's recommended to accompany it with koregusu, a condiment similar to chili vodka.
