About this place
The enduring appeal of CoCo Ichibanya lies in the freedom to adjust ingredients, spices, and portions to match your hunger and mood. Situated in the Soshigaya Minami shopping arcade, Coco Ichibanya lets diners combine a spectrum of toppings with classic pork or beef sauce foundations.
When a substantial meal is in order, the crispy pork loin cutlet curry or hand-breaded tonkatsu curry make dependable centerpieces. These hearty meats pair naturally with vegetable toppings like spinach or eggplant in the rich curry sauce. Another rewarding combination is pairing spinach with the clam curry, blending marine savouriness with dark leafy greens. Adding crispy fried fish fillets or fried squid rings introduces a lively, crunchy contrast to the dish.
Rice portions can be adjusted freely, and dining preferences are accommodated with options like a low-carb curry that swaps out rice for about 180g of cauliflower, as well as the meat-free CoCoICHI Veggie Curry made without animal-derived ingredients. For children of primary-school age and younger, the menu features kids' curries and omelette curries with a drink, along with an allergy-friendly recipe prepared without the main specified allergens.
The dining room suits solo guests as comfortably as small groups, with jars of fukujinzuke pickles set on the tables to refresh the palate between bites. Open from 11:00 to 23:00, the branch also provides takeout options and accepts diverse cashless payments, making it a reliable resource whether for a late dinner after work or a brisk midday lunch.
