We delivered GoGo Curry to the "Let's Support Noto! Sports Festival."
On Sunday, December 8, 2024, in order to cheer up children in the disaster-stricken areas, we participated in an event jointly planned by the Yomiuri Giants and the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association, and provided curry soup at a total of four locations: Wajima City, Nanao City, Suzu City, and Shika Town.
On Sunday, December 8th, GoGo Curry Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture; CEO and President: Nishihata Makoto; hereinafter "GoGo Curry") visited four disaster-stricken areas of Wajima City, Nanao City, Suzu City, and Shika Town in cooperation with the Yomiuri Giants and the Japan Professional Baseball Players Association, and served curry to approximately 800 children who participated in the event together with players from Ishikawa Prefecture. At the venue, children could be seen interacting with professional baseball players and enjoying sports, and the curry they ate for lunch looked delicious.

Founded in 2003, the first store opened in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2004, sparking the "Kanazawa curry boom." The Kanazawa flagship store opened in 2005, and in 2007, the first store overseas opened in Times Square, New York. Since 2017, the company has focused on business succession-type M&A, taking over the operations of Kanazawa's long-established Indian curry restaurant "Hot House" and in 2019, the original Kanazawa curry restaurant "Turban Curry." In January 2023, the company moved its headquarters from Tokyo to Kanazawa, and in March, Nishihata Makoto, a former employee of a major IT company, was appointed CEO and President and Representative Director.
