Spaghetti Napolitan (Japanese Ketchup Pasta) Ikebukuro【11 Restaurants】Tokyo, Japan

What is Spaghetti Napolitan in Japan?

Spaghetti Napolitan is a Japanese pasta dish, not an Italian or Naples dish.
There is a dish called “Spaghetti alla Napoletana” with a similar name, but it is completely different.

Typically the dish consists of spaghetti, tomato ketchup or a tomato-based sauce, onion, button mushrooms, green peppers, sausage or bacon or ham.
Because it is sweeter, it is recommended for children ,too.
