The Katsu Curry Index
CoCo Ichibanya is the basis of a currency index. In August 2026 a strategist at Bank of New York Mellon proposed comparing the price of its pork cutlet curry across countries, the way The Economist has compared Big Macs since 1986, to judge how far the Japanese yen has fallen below what it buys at home. The chain suits the job: it is the largest curry house in the world and its menu barely changes between markets.

CoCo Ichibanya trades in Philippines, and the menu below was researched from published sources rather than migrated from our original data set. Every price on it was checked against what CoCo Ichibanya charges for the same product in other markets, and against what that kind of dish costs across the 255 menus we already hold; anything that could not be reconciled was dropped rather than published.

About CoCo Ichibanya
CoCo Ichibanya is a Japanese curry house chain, known at home as Curry House CoCo Ichibanya and usually shortened to CoCo Ichi. It was founded in Nagoya in 1978 and is now the largest curry restaurant chain in the world by number of outlets.
What it sells
The menu is built around one dish. A plate of Japanese curry rice is ordered by choosing a topping, a portion of rice by the gram, a heat level and, in some markets, the amount of sauce. Pork cutlet curry, the katsu curry, is the item most people order and the one the chain is measured by.
That single-dish focus is why the chain became an economic yardstick. In August 2026 Geoff Yu, a senior strategist at Bank of New York Mellon, proposed the Katsu Curry Index, comparing the price of the same CoCo Ichibanya katsu curry across countries in the way The Economist has long compared Big Macs. The plate is close to identical wherever it is served, so what changes between markets is local costs rather than the food.
Where it trades
Japan remains the home market and by far the largest. The chain has expanded across East and Southeast Asia and into a small number of Western markets, generally through licensees.
