Gogo Curry Unveils New Store in Setagaya, Tokyo

On January 25, 2026, Gogo Curry will celebrate the opening of its first-ever store in Setagaya, located on Nodai Street, an area known for its vibrant student culture. Originating from Kanazawa, Gogo Curry has become a beloved staple, offering a unique take on comfort food with its distinctive Kanazawa-style curry.

Gogo Curry's signature dish features a rich, flavorful curry sauce that undergoes 55 meticulous steps over a 5-hour cooking process, followed by an impressive 55 hours of aging to develop its deep flavor. Customers can savor this exquisite curry paired with perfectly fried cutlets and, notably, an ample serving of cabbage, transforming the dish into a fulfilling culinary experience.

To mark this special occasion, the first guests who dine at the Gogo Curry Setagaya store on opening day will receive five complimentary “Topping Service Tickets.” Additionally, from January 26 to February 5, every customer will receive one ticket each day, adding to the excitement of this grand opening.

Introducing the Exclusive 'Nodai Mori'

In addition to its regular offerings, Gogo Curry will introduce a limited-time “secret menu” item called the “Nodai Mori,” tailored specifically for the affluent area of Nodai Street. This unique dish elevates the humble cabbage to a starring role, allowing patrons to enjoy an even larger portion of finely shredded cabbage, a beloved vegetable in the Kanazawa curry scene. The “Nodai Mori” serves not just as a meal but as a cultural experience that celebrates the local food landscape.

When ordering, customers simply need to select the “Nodai Mori” option on the self-service ticket machine to enjoy a generous scoop of cabbage with their curry. It’s worth noting that this secret menu item is exclusive to the Setagaya location, ensuring that locals and visitors alike have the chance to savor something special.

This exciting addition to Gogo Curry's menu reflects the company's commitment to innovation while honoring its roots. With a history dating back to 2003, Gogo Curry has played a pivotal role in popularizing Kanazawa curry, opening its first location in Tokyo's Shinjuku district just a year later and increasing its influence over the years. Notably, the company expanded internationally with a location in Times Square, New York City, in 2007.

In recent years, Gogo Curry has shifted its focus toward mergers and acquisitions, acquiring established establishments in Kanazawa and reinforcing its position as a leader in the curry market. With approximately 130 stores both in Japan and overseas, Gogo Curry aims to become the world's premier curry-centric business, driven by innovation and community engagement.

The new Setagaya location promises to be a vibrant hub for students and locals alike, bringing a taste of Kanazawa right to the heart of Tokyo. The introduction of the “Nodai Mori” offers a unique spin on the traditional Gogo Curry experience, encouraging customers to enjoy their meal in a whole new way.
