GoGo Curry is one of Japan’s most famous curry chains, specializing in Kanazawa Curry, a regional style known for its thick, dark roux, shredded cabbage, and crispy tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Unlike typical Japanese curry, Kanazawa Curry is richer and usually served on a stainless steel plate, making it both hearty and visually iconic.

Why Try GoGo Curry in Tokyo?

While GoGo Curry originated in Kanazawa, the brand quickly expanded nationwide, and Tokyo offers some of the busiest locations. Whether you are near Shinjuku, Shibuya, or even close to a Tokyo boat race venue, GoGo Curry is a perfect stop for travelers who want a filling and affordable meal.

A Unique Eating Style

Unlike regular Japanese curry, GoGo Curry is served with a stainless steel plate and fork, a style that comes from Kanazawa. The thick sauce clings to the rice, creating a bold and filling meal that’s different from other Japanese curry chains.

Where to Find GoGo Curry

GoGo Curry has branches all over Japan, but in Tokyo you’ll find it in major districts such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro.
This makes it an easy stop for travelers exploring the city—or even after a day at the Tokyo boat races.

Travel Tip

GoGo Curry is a casual, budget-friendly spot, perfect when you need a quick and filling meal. Portions are generous, so come hungry.

Important Tips for Visitors

Cash Only: Many GoGo Curry locations in Tokyo only accept cash. Be sure to carry yen with you.

Busy at Lunch Hours: Popular branches often have lines around noon, so visiting during off-peak times is recommended.

Family-Friendly: Portions can be shared, and the casual style makes it easy for groups and families.

Ramen or Curry? The Traveler’s Dilemma

When exploring Tokyo, visitors often ask themselves: “Should I try ramen or curry?”
Both are iconic Japanese comfort foods. While GoGo Curry offers the bold Kanazawa-style black curry, ramen shops like Aoba Ramen in Nakano represent Tokyo’s legendary double-soup style.

Why not enjoy both? A hot bowl of ramen on one day, and a hearty curry plate the next—it’s the best way to taste Tokyo’s food culture.
