Champion’s Curry, a Japanese curry establishment, opened its doors in 1961 in Kanazawa, known for its culinary connoisseurs. Chef Yoshikazu Tanaka introduced his rich and flavorful twist on traditional Japanese curry, later dubbed “Kanazawa curry,” gaining immense popularity serving up to 2,000 customers daily.
Since then, Champion’s Curry has expanded into a prominent fast food curry chain in Japan, with over 30 locations primarily in its birth region. In 2020, the brand ventured into the U.S., offering an updated fast-casual dining experience that blends Chef Tanaka’s original recipe with American ingredients, aiming to introduce Japanese curry as the next beloved casual food trend.
