Mini Curry

When you are looking over the menu, find the information of Mini curry スモールサイズカレー.
* Half-size Rice 150g and Half-size Topping
There are 16 dishes available as Mini Curry option. They cost from 400 to 636 yen.

When you are hungry, you won't be satisfied with eating Mini Curry スモールサイズカレー. If you order curry rice from the standard menu, the basic size of rice is 300g, but a little pricey though. Check out the menu on the website.

Mini Pork Curry Rice 400 yen
スモールポークカレー
* Rice 150g and No topping
This is just basic curry sauce and rice. There is only a small amount of thinly sliced pork contained in this dish.
(To be honest. The pork meat is almost nothing.😥 )
Beverages cost 105 yen to more

Even if you order the Mini Curry, you can add the spicy level and the toppings if you want.

Spice Level 10

You can optionally choose spice level from 1 to 10. It costs between 22 yen (Level 1) and 110 yen (Level 5 - 10).
Level 10 is Level 1×24.

Mini Pork Curry (400 yen) + Spice Level 10 (110 yen) = 510 yen
スモールポークカレー 10辛

Level 10 is super spicy!
I sweated a lot in the face but I like spicy curry.

I should have bought this to go. I would be a good idea to eat this at home.

Hashed Beef

There are more than 1400 restaurants of CoCo ICHIBANYA all over Japan. When you are traveling probably you can easily find them.
About 800 restaurants offer Hashed Beef. The rest of them don't sell it.

Hashed Beef is also called Hayashi Rice in Japan.
It is not curry. It is like Japanese style beef stew, and not spicy at all.
Yummy!

Curry Ramen

Have you ever had curry ramen?

Curry Ramen
うまこくカレーらーめん
Regular 764 yen
Small 712 yen (as pictured)

CoCo ICHIBANYA offers many kinds of curry rice. However, only select branches offer curry ramen.
Strange to say, the price of their curry ramen ( unlike curry rice ) is different in each district of Japan.
The price of curry ramen listed on the official website is for Tokyo 東京, Kanagawa 神奈川 and Osaka 大阪 districts.
Actually, curry ramen in the other districts is 49 yen cheaper, but curry rice is the same price across Japan.

Example:
Regular 715 yen
Small 663 yen (as pictured)

Grind meat, Cabbage, Bean sprouts, Green onion and so on
(Many kinds of toppings are also available.)

It is used curry soup, not curry sauce.

Information

These are pickles, curry spice and sauce. Free of charge

It is not necessary to order the extra spice level, because you can add this spicy powder into your curry sauce to increase spice level. The spicy powder is free of charge.
