About this place
A short walk down Chazawa-dori from Sangen-jaya Station leads to CoCo Ichibanya, a dependable stop where meals can be customized to match your hunger and mood. Starting with a classic pork curry or a rich beef curry base, diners can add substantial fried toppings such as crisp pork loin cutlets, minced meat cutlets, or golden fried chicken for a hearty plate.
The toppings extend well beyond fried favorites. Options include tender simmered chicken, thin pork slices, flash-fried eggplant, spinach, and seafood like clams and prawns. Regular guests often mix and match, pairing spinach with sausage or combining seafood cutlets with vegetables to build their own plates.
Portions are easily tailored, from the standard 300 g portion of rice down to a lighter 200 g serving or up to larger amounts, with step-by-step adjustments for chili heat. The menu accommodates different dietary preferences with a plant-based CoCoICHI Veggie Curry made without animal-derived ingredients, a low-carb alternative swapping rice for cauliflower, and meal sets for children of primary school age and under. Crisp side salads, ranging from a simple mixed vegetable or Caesar salad to bowls topped with sweetcorn or tuna, provide a refreshing contrast.
Inside, the layout features solo-friendly counter seats alongside booth seating, with power outlets accessible around the tables. Operating continuously from 11:00 to 23:00, the shop works well for a late lunch, an easy dinner after work, or a quick takeaway order throughout the day.
