TANGO MARU: 1905 - First Class dinner menu from June 1907

Product Description

N.Y.K. Line: A First Class dinner menu dated June 14, 1907, from the TANGO MARU, the largest passenger built in a Japanese shipyard at that time.

The meal was aimed strictly at European/American tastes and offered such Western staples as Grilled Sardines on Toast, Consomme Vermicelli, Mutton Cutlets, Boiled Fowl with Ox Tongue, and Cabinet Pudding. On back was a route map with an art nouveau floral border. 

Several decades later NYK Line would offer a "Zashiki" or "Japanese" room where westerns could sit on the floor dressed in kimonos and try Asian food. Frankly, the way tastes have evolved, I suspect many of us today would have preferred a Japanese menu in 1907 versus the gunk that was offered.

TANGO MARU, like every other Japanese passenger liner save one, was sunk during WW2.

Good condition with two missing corners.
