Gogo Curry: A Taste of Kanazawa Arrives in Hamamatsu

On June 25, 2025, Gogo Curry, the beloved Kanazawa curry chain, is set to make its much-anticipated debut in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka. This new outlet, named "Gogo Curry Zaza City Hamamatsu Park," marks a significant milestone as it is the first Gogo Curry location to open in the Shizuoka Prefecture. The franchise will be operated by Hamayu E.F., which has shown a commitment to local engagement and community-oriented business practices.

A Flavorful History

Founded in 2003, Gogo Curry has played a pivotal role in igniting the Kanazawa curry boom across Japan. The flagship store was established in Shinjuku, Tokyo, in 2004, quickly captivating the hearts (and appetites) of many. The brand has since expanded nationally and made its first international move into New York's Times Square in 2007. Gogo Curry has continually evolved, focusing on acquisitions and maintaining a strong market presence.

The Franchise's Essence

The team at Hamayu E.F. aims to bring the authentic taste of Gogo Curry to the local residents of Hamamatsu. Known for its rich and flavorful curries, the restaurant promises a unique dining experience combining traditional Kanazawa flavors with a contemporary twist. One of the standout items on the menu includes the "Roast Cutlet Curry," praised for its deliciously crispy pork cutlet smothered in savory curry sauce.

Gogo Curry Group's Vision

The Gogo Curry Group has been on a growth trajectory, seeking to become the world's leading curry specialist. In 2017, the company pivoted to focus on business succession mergers and acquisitions, acquiring the renowned Hot House and later taking over operations for the original Kanazawa curry brand, Turban Curry. In January 2023, the headquarters moved from Tokyo back to Kanazawa, reinvigorating its regional roots and operations under the leadership of newly appointed CEO Makoto Nishihata.

A Commitment to Community

Hamayu E.F. has a longstanding dedication to serving the local community, and this new franchise reflects their desire to enhance the culinary landscape of Hamamatsu. By introducing Gogo Curry, they hope to provide a new dining option that resonates with both locals and visitors alike, celebrating the rich culinary heritage of Kanazawa.
