What is Ancient City Curry?
The name comes from the fact that it is a curry made with ingredients from Kyoto (the ancient capital) and the wordplay of the name of the website “Kotokare” operated by the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department.
The curry recipe was developed with the cooperation of Associate Professor Semiko Yoshino of the Department of Food and Nutrition, Faculty of Home Economics, Kyoto Women’s University.
It is a curry made with Kyoto ingredients such as Fushimi chili peppers, Kyoto ginseng, and white miso as a secret ingredient. The spiciness is moderate, and the taste is perfect for junior high and high school students.

What is the Kyoto Student Public Relations Department?
(1) Activities
With the aim of making junior high and high school students nationwide want to study at a university in Kyoto and live a student life in Kyoto, university students studying in Kyoto gather to plan, interview, photograph, and create articles from the student’s point of view.

(2) Background of establishment
Kyoto City is home to 38 universities and junior colleges, and approximately 150,000 students, or 10% of the population, are a “university town and student town.” However, as the number of 18-year-olds declines over the long term and competition among universities is expected to intensify further, it is necessary to actively disseminate the appeal of Kyoto as a “university city and student city” to junior high and high school students who will become university students in the future.
Therefore, as a new initiative in the Heisei 27 academic year in collaboration with Kyoto City and the University Consortium Kyoto, we have established the “Kyoto Student Public Relations Department” to disseminate to junior high and high school students nationwide from the perspective of students the “real charm of Kyoto” that university students studying in Kyoto experience while living their student lives.
