Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan｜CoCo Ichiban’ya Bisai Kiamei

I worked part-time when I was in high school just because I could eat CoCo Ichi's curry for free. It was about 30 years ago, so compliance wasn't strict and there were a lot of employees who said crazy things, but it was a fun workplace. I still like CoCo Ichi, so I go to the store in Saitama. But lately, the prices have gone up and it's out of reach for a high school student's part-time job, so it's a pity.

The coronavirus started appearing 3 years ago, and efforts were made to prevent its spread, so I still have to work even though I'm taking childcare leave💦 Among them, Mr. CoCo Ichi and Mr. Osho were quick to put out lunch boxes for children (very cheap and voluminous). Thank you very much for helping me. Even making cup noodles that only the kids would use over a fire meant there was a risk of accidents, and it was difficult to make them in advance until lunch every day. Also, I didn't get any bad looks even though I only had 3 lunch boxes for my kids, so it was easy to go back and buy them again. Nowadays, many people have forgotten that the bento existed, but every time I see it, I am reminded of my gratitude.

It is located along Owari Chuo Expressway and has a large parking lot, as well as parking order facilities, so you can order and take out without entering the store. The store staff also took good care of me and made me feel comfortable. Not only is the curry delicious, but you can also choose the amount of rice you want, there are limited menus for each season, and there are plenty of curry toppings and salads, as well as doria and curry soup. It's very kid-friendly, with a children's menu and coloring pages.
