To commemorate the release of Mobile Police Patlabor EZY File 2, the curry from the in-series Chinese restaurant Shanhai-tei has been commercialized as a retort product. The curry reproduces the recipe left by the previous-generation owner, developed with Tadashi Iwamoto, chairman of the Japan Western Cuisine Association. It sells for 864 yen per 180g serving.
The Chinese-style curry from Shanhai-tei, the restaurant that delivers to Division 2 in the Patlabor series, is now sold in limited quantities. The product reproduces the recipe left by Sakimiya Hayao, the previous-generation owner in the EZY era, developed with Tadashi Iwamoto of the Japan Western Cuisine Association.
The retort curry uses pork, bamboo shoots, sweet bean sauce, oyster sauce, and shiitake mushrooms. It is priced at 864 yen for 180g. Alongside it, the Nosanchoka Rice 1kg, a pesticide-free Niji no Kirameki variety grown in Gunma Prefecture, sells for 2160 yen. Both are available at the Mobile Police Patlabor HEADGEAR Official Shop on Amazon.
