About this spot
CoCo ICHIBANYA delivers the comforting warmth of Japanese curry with its signature thick, sweet sauce that coats every bite of tender beef and vegetables. While the chain is ubiquitous, this Fushimi location offers a reliable escape from tourist traps with its self-serve rice station and rotating seasonal toppings like eggplant or lotus root. It's the perfect spot for a hearty, affordable meal after exploring the historic temples of the eastern district.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Kakuni' (braised pork belly) topping to elevate the standard curry into a rich, fatty delicacy.
- Use the self-serve station to customize your rice bowl with extra pickles or seaweed before paying.
- Try the 'Nikujaga' side dish if you want a lighter option that still showcases their signature savory sauce.
