Overview
Go!Go!Curry (ゴーゴーカレー) is Japan's most energetic curry chain, founded in 2004 in Kanazawa.

� 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.
