TOKYO MIX CURRY, known for its innovative approach to curry, is excited to announce the launch of its inaugural frozen curry set, '7 Styles of MJ Curry'. This special product will be available on the crowdfunding platform Makuake starting June 8, 2026. This release is a result of a creative blend of culinary arts and technology, aimed at providing a delightful experience for curry lovers.
Founded in June 2019, TOKYO MIX CURRY, operated by Foodcode Co., Ltd., is based in Bunkyo, Tokyo. The establishment has made a name for itself by offering over 200 unique curry varieties, serving a remarkable one million dishes during its seven years of operation. This accomplishment reflects the commitment of the brand to continually innovate and enhance the dining experience.
In January 2026, 'Spice Wizard' MJ, a renowned curry researcher, began collaborating with TOKYO MIX CURRY to create a series of experimental curries. Each week, a different spice blend is applied to the same base ingredients: chicken, onion, and tomato. These experiments, known as 'SPICE MAGIC', have birthed seven distinctive curries over a span of seven weeks, showcasing the transformative power of spices. Each dish brings forth its own unique aroma and flavor, providing a varied culinary journey despite using identical basic ingredients.
Ryosuke Nishiyama, the CEO of Foodcode Co., expressed his thoughts on the inspiration behind this project. He reflected on his seven-year journey exploring curries, asking himself, "What is the essence of curry?" This introspection was sparked during the 'SPICE MAGIC' project in Shibuya. Each week, the anticipation of experiencing a new flavor profile motivated diners to return for further exploration. The excitement of discovering what was in store became a hallmark of the project.
Nishiyama is keen to share this experience with curry enthusiasts nationwide through the frozen curry set. The set not only encapsulates the week-by-week progression of spice exploration but also emphasizes the depth of flavor achievable through careful spice selection.
With this crowdfunding project, the '7 Styles of MJ Curry' set includes the signature 'TMC Chicken Curry' along with the seven experimental flavors, resulting in a total of eight unique curry options. Each of the seven flavors has been crafted using one of the 27 different spices that were used throughout the experiment, showcasing how varying spices can create unique taste experiences.
