Naporitan
Naporitan or Napolitan () is a popular Japanese itameshi pasta dish. The dish consists of soft-cooked spaghetti, tomato ketchup, onion, button mushrooms, green peppers, sausage, bacon and optionally Tabasco sauce. Naporitan is claimed to be from Yokohama. Origin Naporitan was created by Shigetada Irie (), the chef of the Hotel New Grand in Yokohama, for general Douglas MacArthur. Because available ingredients were limited after World War II, he had to use what was on hand for the general, who lived at the hotel with his wife. Name The chef named the dish after Naples, Italy (hence "Napoli"). Phonetically, the Japanese language does not distinguish R and L as separate sounds, and so uses the same katakana characters to represent R and L sounds of Western alphabets. Thus when converting katakana back into English, based solely on the Japanese spelling in the English alphabet is ambiguous and can vary. The spelling Naporitan is derived from the usual romanization of Japanese ...

Itameshi
Itameshi () is a type of fusion cuisine originally from Japan that combines traditional elements of Japanese food and Italian food. The name comes from the combination of the Japanese name for Italy (イタリア ''Itaria'') and the Japanese word for meal (飯 ''meshi''). This term is used to differentiate Japanese-Italian fusion food from standard Italian food, which is formally referred to as ''Itaria-ryōri'' (イタリア料理). History The first Italian restaurant in Japan was Italiaken, opened in 1880 in Niigata by Pietro Migliore, who came to Japan with a French performing troupe. Italian-Japanese fusion first started in the 1920s when spaghetti was introduced to Japan, and served in small cafes. Before 1970, there were few authentic Italian restaurants in Japan, with only a few pizza and pasta stores. Italian food would not gain a bigger foothold in the country until the 1990s, when the 1997 Asian financial crisis hit and many upscale restaurants were affected by low ...

List Of Pasta Dishes
Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily. It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta dishes.

Yōshoku
In Japanese cuisine, refers to a style of Western-influenced cooking which originated during the Meiji Restoration. These are primarily Japanized forms of European dishes, often featuring Western names, and usually written in katakana. It is an example of fusion cuisine. History At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration (1868–1912), national seclusion was eliminated and the Meiji Emperor declared Western ideas helpful for Japan's future progress. As part of the reforms, the Emperor lifted the ban on red meat and promoted Western cuisine, which was viewed as the cause of the Westerners' greater physical size. ''Yōshoku'' thus relies on meat as an ingredient, unlike the typical Japanese cuisine at the time. Additionally, many of the Westerners who started to live in Japan at that time refused to touch traditional Japanese food ('' washoku''), so their private Japanese chefs learned how to cook them Western-style cuisine, often with a Japanese spin. The first recorded print ...

Neapolitan Ragù
Neapolitan ragù, known in Italian as or (), is a variety of ragù associated with the city of Naples. It is made from two main parts: meat, and tomato sauce to which a few seasonings are added. Two distinctive features are the type of meat and how it is used, as well as the amount of tomato in the sauce. Bolognese versions use very finely chopped meat, while Neapolitan versions use whole meat, taking it from the casserole when cooked and serving it as a second course or with pasta. Preferences for ingredients also differ. In Naples, white wine is replaced by red wine, butter by lard or olive oil, and many basil leaves are used where Bolognese ragù has no herbs. In the Neapolitan recipe, the content may well be enriched by adding raisins, pine nuts, and with different fillings. Like the Bolognese, Neapolitan ragù also has quite a wide range of variants, the best known of which is ('doorman's ragù'). See also * List of sauces The following is a list of notabl ...
