New Flavor Alert: Gokuzuna Kurobuta Man Curry

In an exciting twist for fans of convenience store cuisine, FamilyMart is set to launch a new flavor for its popular Gokuzuna Kurobuta Man line. Officially hitting shelves on September 9, 2025, Gokuzuna Kurobuta Man Curry has been designated as the number one flavor customers want to try, and it promises to maintain the beloved quality of its predecessor.

Since its debut in 2019, the Gokuzuna Kurobuta Man has captivated taste buds across Japan, with total sales exceeding 70 million units. The treat gained significant recognition earlier this year, winning the Grand Prize at the 82nd Japan Food Selection for its exceptional quality. The original pork buns pride themselves on an authentic 50% filling ratio and exclusively use domestic black pork in combination with sweet onions, heightened with Alpine salt to maximize flavor. Compared to standard meat buns, these are approximately 1.3 times heavier and offer the largest bite-sized chunks of ground meat among FamilyMart’s offerings, delivering an unparalleled meatiness.

As Gokuzuna Kurobuta Man steps into its 7th year, it introduces its first-ever flavor variation: curry. This choice was influenced by a survey where customers expressed an overwhelming desire for a curry option. Retaining the fundamental ingredients—100% domestic black pork and onions—this new product features a soft and chewy bun filled with a fragrant curry sauce infused with 22 spices, complemented by a hint of pepper.

The carefully crafted spicy ground pork filling synergizes perfectly with the curry sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. Each bite promises an explosion of taste, showcasing a trifecta of textures and flavors to provide an unforgettable eating experience.
