Go!Go!Curry

ゴーゴーカレー

Kanazawa's explosive curry since 2004

Overview

Go!Go!Curry (ゴーゴーカレー) is Japan's most energetic curry chain, founded in 2004 in Kanazawa. With its slogan "The curry that gives you energy!", this chain of over 90 restaurants offers a unique black Japanese curry, served in a rock and roll atmosphere with constant references to gorillas and raw energy.

⚡ The energy of black curry

  • Unique black sauce - Distinctive color and intense taste
  • Ultra-fast service - Served in less than 55 seconds
  • Rock ambiance - Energetic music, gorilla decor
  • Guaranteed energy - Slogan: "The curry that gives strength"

� The world of gorillas

Go!Go!Curry adopted the gorilla as its mascot, a symbol of strength and energy. Each restaurant is decorated with primate references, from figurines to posters, creating a unique atmosphere in the world of Japanese curry. This strong visual identity contributes to the brand's immersive experience.

⚫ The secret of black curry

Go!Go!Curry's curry sauce gets its characteristic black color from a secret blend of roasted spices and black bean paste. This unique recipe, developed specifically for the chain, offers a more complex and intense taste than traditional Japanese curries, while remaining accessible to the Japanese palate.

⚡ Lightning-fast 55-second service

Go!Go!Curry prides itself on serving its dishes in less than 55 seconds flat. This performance is possible thanks to an optimized preparation system where the curry is kept at a constant temperature and the rice is pre-cooked. This speed, rare even in Japanese fast food, is part of the brand's energetic identity.

🏟️ Rock stadium ambiance

The sound atmosphere of Go!Go!Curry restaurants is unique: energetic rock music, theatrical announcements from the staff, and even shouts of encouragement during service. This sports stadium atmosphere transforms a simple meal into a dynamic experience, particularly appreciated by young people and salarymen looking for energy.

🌟 National expansion

From Kanazawa, Go!Go!Curry quickly expanded throughout Japan, with a particular concentration in Tokyo and major cities. The chain has even opened restaurants in the United States, exporting its energetic black Japanese curry concept internationally.
