Serves meat, vegan options available. Japanese curry house chain. Ask for the separate vegetarian menu which offers a number of vegetable and vegan curries, with/ spinach, mushroom, mix veg, or eggplant. These may be customized with extra ingredients. Curry is served with a portion of rice. Indicate spice level and portion size at the time of placing order. Must order from this menu for your curry to be vegan. On the regular menu, the vegetable curry contains meat, but you'll find a vegan salad or two. Note that not all branches provide vegan curry options, suggested to check ahead.

Ótimas opções de curry veganos

Experimentamos um curry com espinafre, croquete e beringela que estava maravilhoso. Pode pedir para mais picante ou regular além de adicionar mais do arroz japonês, gohan.

Pros: Tem várias opções veganas e também sem glúten , Filiais em várias cidades, Serviço muito rápido

Cons: Poderia ter opções veganas de sobremesa

Good curry and low carb option

Had the vegetarian curry with cauliflower rice instead of the traditional rice. Was great! Will go back.

Pros: Inexpensive , Offer cauliflower rice as low carb option

Surprisingly good!

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from CoCo Ichibanya but was pleasantly surprised!

I ordered their okra and mushroom curry from the separate vegetarian menu. It was much tastier and filling than I expected!

If you're in Himeji and strapped for vegan options, this place is definitely worth checking out.

More than my expectation

I was surprised to see several curry options on their "vegetarian menu" (it's actually vegan) they also have a page in their main menu booklet (might be only in Japanese) to show which dish contains what so you can check if other food besides the vegan curries is for you or not. Big portion too! I was barely able to finish my food. I didn't see in the non-Japanese menu mentioning the fact they'd charge more if you level up the spiciness / portion of rice so you might wanna ask first.

Look for the vegetarian menu

Tastes great even though it doesn't look great. Good for the price. Be sure to look at the vegetarian menu and not to accidently order the vegtable zanmai curry. It contains meat and is more expensive!

Lots of choice, good food!

This is such a safe bet for a hearty vegetarian/vegan meal. Warm spicy curry and vegetables. English menu with lots of choices (although all similar there is choice!). Price not bad. Good to know about this chain!

Great place for a good curry!

Went under recommendation from this app while on an overnight stay at Himeji and I can’t say I was disappointed!

There was a few vegetarian options on a seperate menu on the table, all of which sounded very good.

I ended up going with the Eggplant, Spinach and Tomato curry which was a bit spicy (in saying this I have no spice tolerance) but was a good size and was very flavourful!

licked the plate

So happy with this decision. Curry was fantastic. We ended up buying some of the salt. You won’t be sorry you chose here.

Chain of curry restaurants. It has more places around japan. There are a few vegan options on the menu, to choose from. The food is solid. I enjoyed the option for diffrent spice levels.

Vegan menu available - great for a quick and cheap meal

This fast food curry restaurant is part of a chain with locations all over Japan. They have a separate vegan menu (see photos I attached). You must order from this menu though. The veggie items included on the regular menu are not vegan as the brown curry sauce has animal products. I've eaten at many of these CoCo Ichibanya locations. Not all of them have the vegan menus (i.e. one in Kyoto near the Hyatt and the train station does NOT have the vegan menu).

This place always has friendly and solid service and it's one of the few places I've found in Japan that offers seamless takeout (take-away) food in fancy, well-designed packaging so that you can bring it back to your hotel room if you choose.

The one located in Himeji is right in the greater train station complex on floor 1B in the "Grand Fiesta" shopping mall (one level below street level).

This particular restaurant has much more seating compared to others I've come across in the chain.

Pros: Quick vegan "fast food", Takes all credit cards, Tasty
