Sapporo soup curry traces to a mid-1970s kissaten called Ajanta that served a curry-spiced medicinal chicken broth. The dish was named soup curry in 1993 at Magic Spice, founded by Taizan Shimomura, who drew on Indonesian soto ayam and Pakistani spice traditions. By the late 2000s, the city had hundreds of dedicated soup curry shops and the dish was the second signature bowl of Sapporo (after miso ramen). Magic Spice, Suage and Garaku all keep the original spice profile and the su-age vegetable frying technique that distinguishes Sapporo-style from Tokyo's curry sauces.
