Crazy-big “Bam!” Hunk of Meat Curry returns to Japan’s favorite curry rice chain, price still rising
Ordinarily Japan can’t get enough Cocoichi, but some are saying enough is enough with the price hikes.
Curry House CoCo Ichibanya World offers dishes and roux “reverse imported” from the chain’s overseas branches.
The curry chain that’s all about giving you exactly the kind of curry you want expands its no-animal-product lineup.
Branches in Tokyo’s Shinjuku and Akihabara are ready with an appealing, healthy alternative to a bowl of cereal.
The popular curry restaurant chain proves that it deserves to join the ranks of Japan’s best companies.
