Is there anywhere in the states I can get Coco Ichiban Curry (from Japan)?

Question

I was stationed in Yokosuka Japan for 5 years during the military and fell in love with this place. Now I find myself craving it nighitly. Someone help me out

Not knowing where you live does not make it easy. However, there are Korean supermarkets in most large cities. They have a great variety of different Asia region foods. Beware, it is not cheap. But having a Chinese wife, I have no choice but to pay the high prices.

Answer 2

That's so funny, dude... I doubt if you can find it in the States, though. I don't really like their curry, but I can understand your craving. It's probably the aroma that sticks with you... Really the best suggestion I can make is to make some curry yourself. Find a pack of curry at a Japanese food store (a lot of other Asian food stores also stock Japnese curry) and follow the directions. And don't skimp on the rice. Get some quality California short grain rice. Who knows, it might come out even better than Coco Ichiban!

Answer 3

I searched some on-line Japanese grocery stop, but I couldn't find.
Another curry is available.

Or(*smile*) ask your friends or ex-colleagues to buy in Japan.
Ppl in Japan can purchase the pouch-packed curry through the Internet.
