Curry House Rio Marks Its 65-Year Journey with New Takadanobaba Location
Curry House Rio, famed for its delicious curry since 1960, is celebrating 65 years of culinary excellence by opening a new outlet at Takadanobaba Station on June 12, 2025.

Each bite creates a perfect blend of pork's savory taste and the deep flavors of the curry, making it hard to resist taking another spoonful.
Another standout is the "Half Spaghetti Curry (Napolitan)" available for 1,000 yen (tax included). This dish aims to fulfill the cravings of those who want both curry and spaghetti. It features Rio’s original curry, complemented by Napolitan spaghetti that is sautéed with ketchup to enhance its umami.
