      Coco is slop anyways. Can go to an Indian place and get naan, chicken curry, and chopped salad for about the same.

      How does Matsuya curry cost ¥900??? It’s just curry block, water and rice…

      The Coco CEO at least promised to never do shrinkflation. That’s gotta be worth something.

      Ramen crossing the 1000 yen line i can understand. But curry? We have golden curry blocks at home

      It’s easy to cook Coco Ichibanya 🍛 at home. We always make Katsu curry 3x a week, with omurice. With a large pint of Thai ice Tea and garlic naan. Easy to make at home.
