coco ichibanyaCurry House, Pork curry (pack of four)

Any military member stationed in Okinawa will tell you one of the things they miss most is CoCo’s curry, get yourself some Naan bread makes some rice add some cocos spice and cocos sauce and your tastebuds will travel all the way back to Okinawa and the good old days!!! It’s worth the price and I’ve made it for all of my coworkers too!!! I usually use this one to remake the stewed chicken curry ❤️

It is treated like liquid gold in my house.

We were on Okinawa for 11 years working. We often went to CoCos for curry. Our teen daughters went at least once a week. When we moved back to Texas, we missed it. Then I found it on Amazon. I ordered it for my wife and I first. A couple weeks later I made it for two of my daughters. Recently, I was visiting our oldest daughter in Germany and surprised her family by cooking pork curry using these easy packs that are just placed in a pot of boiling water. Both times when I opened the pack, the screamed CoCos! Now we have the same great taste in our own kitchen. It feels like we are back in Okinawa, minus the little button for service.

I worked as an English teacher in Nagoya, Japan for a year. I didn't have much of a kitchen and had a work schedule that also mostly got me home late enough that I didn't really want to cook all that often anyway. As I explored my close by options for food I stumbled on a CoCo Ichibanya Curry House and then began what can only be described as an addiction to amazing. It also helped me survive and not starve, so there's a chance I'm carrying some bias ;)If you've had S&B Foods curries, this has a rather similar base character of flavor. Where CoCo Ichibanya departs from that is by cooking pork (pork belly/bacon) into it until it has basically melted and the result is a really deep umami delicious.The spice level for the regular pork curry is somewhere around the hot/very hot level for the previously mentioned S&B Foods equivalent. If you haven't had that brand I would gauge it at a broadly "medium" spice level to most Indian or Thai restaurants I have been to over time. Or more simply, it ain't gonna burn you but it probably doesn't need much added unless you tend toward the spice head spectrum. That said, it is delicious with more spice and CoCo Ichibanya as a brand is well known for offering an additional 10 levels of spice above this product.The packaged product did not disappoint my memory of the real thing being served consistently at every place I hit. If you've lived in Japan in a place that had a CoCo Ichibanya just start throwing your money at the screen, get that flavor back!

Its decent and easy to make, just don’t expect to feel like you’re eating at Coco’s

Amazing as always!

Thank goodness Coco's is on Amazon!This curry was my lunch almost every day while stationed in Okinawa back in 2009, and it was always so expensive trying to get my buddies still on the rock to send it to me, or to ship it from some random person on eBay.Now I get it shipped monthly and serve it CoCo's style with steamed jasmine rice and chicken Katsu cutlet. Tastes *almost* just like the real thing, but it's close enough to make you go "mmmmmmmmmm" after every bite!It's still a little expensive for just 4 portions, but it's worth every yenny.

My husband and I were both in the military and were stationed in Okinawa for 2 years, we literally lived off of Coco’s. Since we left we could never recreate the recipe it just never tasted right. I have had this product saved in my amazon wish list for years but never wanted to spend the almost $40. But we finally decided to say eff it and do it, I ordered on a Saturday afternoon and literally got it the next day on Sunday. As for the sauce itself it was to die for! It is the same exact sauce you would get if eating at the restaurant itself, it is completely worth the purchase and will be buying it again when we feel like spoiling ourselves. Oh don’t forget the chicken cutlet and naan bread with cheese!
