In praise of Japanese cabbage roll

Do you know the dish cabbage roll? It is a dish of softened cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling, which can include meat, rice, grains, or vegetables, and is then simmered or baked in a sauce. The dish has a long history and is popular in various parts of the world, including Japan.

Japanese cabbage roll differs from the cabbage rolls of Europe because the rice is served separately, rather than in the roll like the European version. Also, the Japanese cabbage roll, rōru kyabetsu, has a more refined flavor often achieved with a light broth (like dashi or consommé), a filling of ground meat (pork and beef) with panko and egg, and sometimes bacon. I never ate cabbage roll in Europe, but I do eat it in Japan because Japanese roll cabbage is delicious. 

October 4th is cabbage roll day ロールキャベツの日 in Japan! The reason it is on October 4th is because on this day in 1893, a recipe for cabbage roll appeared in a newspaper for the first time! Do you eat cabbage roll? If yes, do you eat it here in Japan or in your home country or both?
