A curry recipe provided to the elderly based on a high school student’s idea was commercialized as a retort curry [Release event on Respect for the Aged Day on Monday, September 16th]
*Taking into consideration the health issues of the elderly, we jointly developed a highly nutritious curry recipe, “A new type of bean curry that is spicy but not spicy”*
Bean curry created by high school students
A limited company that provides meals to nursing care facilities. Last year, Saito Alken Kogyo (Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture) held an event at Shimane Prefectural Yagami High School in order to bring some energy back to the residents of nursing care facilities, who had lost a little fun due to the coronavirus pandemic. We collaborated with 18 first- to third-year students from the Food and Agriculture Research Group (Yagami, Onan-cho, Ochi-gun, Shimane Prefecture) to develop a new menu for curry, which is a popular menu at nursing care
facilities. We have now commercialized our newly developed curry recipe so that it can be consumed by the elderly and the general public. September 16th (Monday/Holiday) Respect for the Aged Day “Shopping Center”
At “Abel” (996 Yagami, Onan-cho, Ochi-gun, Shimane Prefecture), a sales event will be held by Yagami High School “Food and Agriculture Research Group” students.
* Solving the health issues of protein and calcium deficiencies in the elderly * * The secret ingredient is powder from the uneaten parts of the discarded John Dory head and bones *
Considering the health issues of the elderly, we have created a protein-rich soybean curry, “healthy” Magokoro Bean Curry, in limited quantities. For the secret ingredient, we used powder from the uneaten parts of John Dory, which has no taste and is rich in calcium and protein. (Calcium: 181,158mg/per 100g, Protein: 34.2g/per 100g) Nearly 100 tons of John Dory are landed at Hamada Fishing Port each year, and the fish is familiar to locals with its pale white fried meat. 70% of the head and bones are present, most of which have been discarded. We have developed a curry menu that uses powder from the uneaten parts of John Dory as a secret ingredient in curry to solve the health issues of elderly people who lack protein and calcium.
John dory powder
The amount of John Dory powder used as the secret ingredient in the curry has been adjusted so that women over 75 can consume the recommended daily amount of calcium, 620mg, in one meal.

In the future, “Shopping Center
Abel (Yagami, Onan-machi, Ochi-gun, Shimane Prefecture)” will start handling it, and it will start being available at supermarkets (Kinuya, Daps) stores and roadside stations in Hamada City. We will also be selling online on our website, and we would like to deliver soybean curry filled with the passion of high school students to as many people as possible.
I would be happy if my grandparents could give it to me as a present. Magokoro bean curry made with “magoko” which is good for the body
