Yoshinoya partners with a renowned curry restaurant to launch Beef Roka Curry.

Even if you think curry ain't your thing, you might wanna try this. Yoshinoya just dropped their Beef Roka Curry for 729 yen, and it’s already getting raved about since it launched on January 16. This dish features curry from Spicy Curry Roka paired with Yoshinoya’s classic simmered beef. I hit up the Shibuya location, right by the iconic 109 store, to see if it lives up to the hype.

Lunchtime in Shibuya was wild—packed with salarymen, students, and tourists. But the staff had it under control, serving food fast and keeping things flowing. I opted for the Niku Daku Beef Roka Curry for 839 yen, which is just a bit more meat. First bite? Wow! The curry hits hard with its blend of spices without any flour to hold it back, packing a punch of flavor. Honestly, it stole the show from the beef. If you’re curious, you’ve got until the end of April to try this flavor fiesta. And while you’re in the area, check out the cutest onigiri just a stroll away once the rush dies down.
