CoCo Ichibanya – the world’s largest Japanese curry restaurant chain – will officially open at AEON MALL Ha Dong, Lot T149, 1st floor, from June 2026, promising to bring diners an authentic Japanese curry experience right in Hanoi.

Recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest curry restaurant chain, CoCo Ichibanya currently owns over 1,400 stores in Japan and 13 countries. In 2013, the brand officially set a Guinness World Record, becoming a source of pride for Japanese cuisine and one of the outstanding Asian restaurant chains honored on the global culinary map.

The distinctive feature that makes CoCo Ichibanya so appealing is its unique curry sauce recipe, a harmonious blend of various spices such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and garlic, resulting in a rich, aromatic, and characteristic flavor. Beyond its appealing flavor, the spices in curry also offer numerous health benefits. Turmeric contains curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and digestive support; star anise and cinnamon help warm the body, improve blood circulation, and regulate blood sugar.

Cloves, in particular, are rich in manganese, contributing to strong bones and benefiting skin and hair. The opening of CoCo Ichibanya at AEON MALL Ha Dong promises to become a new culinary destination for Japanese food lovers in Hanoi.
