Support for the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Victims

The earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula in 2024 has brought significant hardship to many residents. In response to this disaster, Daiichipan Co., Ltd. and Gogo Curry Group Co., Ltd. have joined forces to contribute to the recovery efforts for the affected areas. This collaboration not only highlights the dedication of these companies to community support but also emphasizes the importance of corporate responsibility in times of crisis.

Daiichipan, headquartered in Kodaima City, Tokyo, has a long-standing history of producing high-quality baked goods. Under the leadership of CEO Masanori Hosogai, the company has delivered products that resonate with customer needs and preferences since its founding in 1947. Similarly, Gogo Curry, led by CEO Makoto Nishihata, has been a pioneer in popularizing Kanazawa-style curry across Japan and even globally since its inception in 2003 in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

To aid the recovery efforts following the Noto Peninsula earthquake, both companies collaborated to develop two special curry-themed products: the Gogo Curry Super Rich Black Curry Bun and the Gogo Curry Grilled Cheese Curry Bun. Launched in July 2025, a portion of the proceeds from these products was dedicated as a charitable donation to assist with reconstruction and support for the earthquake victims.

A total of 896,480 yen has been donated, which will provide necessary resources to the Ishikawa Prefecture Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund. This initiative demonstrates how businesses can play an essential role in supporting their communities during challenging times. The companies expressed their heartfelt gratitude to customers who purchased these special items, acknowledging that their contributions have helped make a difference for the victims.

The focus of these donations goes beyond mere financial assistance; it represents an impactful partnership between Daiichipan and Gogo Curry Group, combining their strengths to foster community resilience. Such collaborative efforts can inspire other companies and individuals to take action, highlighting the power of unity in the face of adversity.

Both companies remain committed to their roots while looking towards the future. Gogo Curry, with its strategic focus on expanding its brand internationally while embracing its culinary heritage, aims to become the world’s leading curry specialty company. Meanwhile, Daiichipan continues to innovate and create products that cater to the evolving tastes and preferences of their customers, driven by their motto, “Delighting with Sincerity.”

As both companies work diligently to support the earthquake recovery, they also continue their commitment to quality products and services, aiming to maintain relevance and connection with their loyal customer bases. The contributions to the Noto Peninsula earthquake relief are not just financial; they also serve as a beacon of hope and solidarity, showing that through collaboration and commitment, communities can rise again after devastating events.
