Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan｜CoCo Ichibanya

Huge portion for a reasonable price! Spice level 2 was surprisingly spicy!

This is probably the quietest Coco ichiban that I have ever eaten to. The shop is quite small with a few counter seats and two tables for groups. Because this branch is so chill, this is usually where the trainees go and learn the basics on working in a Coco ichiban. They have removed from the countertops the condiments so in case you ever needed one just ask the staff. Taste-wise I’d say standard Coco level.

I had THE Beef curry, half cheese + cream croquette (1,371 yen). The curry sauce is rich and deep, and the meat is creamy. Indeed, the price on a notch is not dated. Cocoichi originally has a rich menu, but sometimes I look forward to such a limited menu. It was Atari again this time. There was alcohol disinfection for corona measures. When I visited after 20:00, customers were constantly coming to the store, including online orders.
