Hello everyone! This is Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! A collaboration snack with a famous curry chain that everyone heads to when they want to eat easy, rich-variety curry in Japan has arrived, so let’s check it out right away!

CoCo Ichibanya is the curry chain that Japanese people visit first whenever they crave curry, offering spice levels chosen from 20 stages, abundant toppings ranging from vegetables to meat, and even takeout and delivery options! New items are frequently introduced each season, and it is famous for the fact that even if you go with friends, you almost never end up with the exact same menu due to the variety of customizations and spice levels!

This time, a snack recreating one of CoCo Ichibanya’s menu items, Cheese Curry, has arrived! It’s not just a simple curry flavor; it’s a masterpiece that uses ”Tobikara Spice”—the spicy seasoning used for CoCo Ichibanya’s actual curry—on the noodles for added heat and aroma, which are then compressed into a single bite with freeze-dried cheese!! Since it has a fairly solid spicy curry finish, those of you who love curry-flavored snacks should definitely check out the newly released Baby Star Ramen Maru Cheese Curry flavor!
