Soup Curry King Expands to Kansai: A Culinary Adventure

The beloved Sapporo-based restaurant, Soup Curry King, is set to mark its debut in the Kansai region with the grand opening of its first location in Kyoto on January 30, 2026. This expansion is not just about bringing a new dish to the menu — it’s a heartfelt commitment to share the essence of Hokkaido's soup curry with a broader audience under the guiding principle of creating a world connected by “fun.”

A Taste of Hokkaido in Kyoto

Hailing from Sapporo, a city renowned for its delicious soup curry, this establishment has become a cherished part of the local culinary landscape. Soup curry, recognized as a local specialty from Hokkaido, offers a warming embrace that uplifts the spirit even on chilly days. The culinary team at Soup Curry King has meticulously crafted their dishes, ensuring that the warmth and flavors are expertly preserved while aiming to transform this regional favorite into a staple for all of Japan.

The Heart of the Flavor
At the core of Soup Curry King's offerings lies their signature double broth (W soup), which combines a rich chicken stock made from carefully prepared chicken bones and aromatic vegetables with a light and flavorful Japanese seafood broth crafted from kombu, niboshi, and katsuobushi. This harmonious blend creates a dish that is both robust and refreshing, ensuring that diners enjoy a balanced, nuanced experience with every sip. Additionally, the unique spice mix adds an aromatic touch, ensuring that every bowl remains a delightful choice for daily consumption.

The introduction of the Soup Curry King to Kyoto is not only a testament to their culinary excellence but also a step forward in spreading the joy of this comfort food across the nation while nurturing local ties and supporting regional farmers and producers. By doing so, the restaurant aims to foster a “local bowl” that incorporates the unique flavors and experiences of the area.
