What to review this month.
One market-level price decision worth checking.
For comparable Osaka core curry rice, prices in this band are the easiest place to check first this month.
Two Osaka delivery concepts cluster within ¥10 of each other at
the floor — below where Sri Lankan Spice Curry Tenma operates
at ¥1,230, showing the market clearly supports higher pricing.
One category. One action. Based on the Osaka Curry reference signal for April 2026.
Osaka's curry delivery market spans a meaningful range this month — and in sharp contrast to Tokyo's April signal where two concepts converged at ¥980, Osaka shows a clear ¥430 spread. Joto Curry Nihonbashi (上等カレー 日本橋店), an Osaka curry institution whose name translates as "high-grade curry," prices its core curry at ¥790 on Uber Eats — a notable ¥790 for a brand with a premium name. Cafe Yorimichi clusters just ¥10 above at ¥800 with its Spicy Beef Curry on Wolt. At the specialty upper end, Sri Lankan Spice Curry Tenma — an authentic Sri Lankan curry concept in Osaka's Tenma neighbourhood — prices its Spicy Curry at ¥1,230 on Wolt, demonstrating that Osaka's delivery market clearly supports specialty curry pricing well above ¥1,000. If your Osaka curry is priced at or below ¥800, you are matching the floor of a market that reaches ¥1,230 at the specialty tier. A move toward ¥1,020 captures the mid-market between the Japanese curry floor and the Sri Lankan specialty upper reference.
These are the four fields MenuGauge AI surfaces in every full analysis.
Single public reference range spanning Osaka's delivery curry market — from Cafe Yorimichi (¥800, Spicy Beef Curry, Wolt) through Sri Lankan Spice Curry Tenma (¥1,230, Spicy Curry, Wolt). Joto Curry Nihonbashi at ¥790 establishes the delivery floor. Reference only.
The midpoint of the competitor range (¥800–¥1,230), rounded to a ¥10 increment. Crosses the psychologically significant ¥1,000 threshold while sitting below the Sri Lankan specialty upper reference — the active mid-market in Osaka's delivery curry segment. Public page suggestion only—your actual sheet may differ.
Illustrative estimate using the low end of the competitor range (¥800) and the suggested price (¥1,020). A ¥220 increase per plate across 100 servings. At an Osaka curry restaurant doing 80 plates at lunch service, this directional estimate represents approximately ¥17,600 additional daily margin. Ingredient cost held constant.
Osaka curry delivery operators priced at or below ¥800 are at the floor of a market that extends to ¥1,230 at the specialty tier. Sri Lankan Spice Curry Tenma has demonstrated that Osaka delivery customers pay ¥1,230 for specialty curry — making ¥1,020 a defensible mid-market step for quality operators.

The page shows a single reference range (¥800–¥1,230) across three distinct Osaka delivery curry concepts. Joto Curry Nihonbashi (上等カレー 日本橋店, ¥790, Uber Eats) establishes the delivery floor — a known Osaka curry restaurant brand. Cafe Yorimichi (¥800, Wolt) clusters ¥10 above — the two form a narrow danger zone floor. Sri Lankan Spice Curry Tenma (¥1,230, Wolt) anchors the upper reference, representing Osaka's specialty international curry positioning. The ¥430 competitor range width gives this signal strong directional clarity.
Suggested prices are set at or above current pricing only. MenuGauge AI applies ¥10 increment rounding for JPY curry pricing — ¥1,020 is the midpoint of the competitor range (¥800–¥1,230), rounded to the nearest ¥10. This crosses the psychologically significant ¥1,000 threshold while sitting below the Sri Lankan specialty upper reference. No downward adjustments are suggested.
This public page uses the low end of the competitor range: (¥1,020 − ¥800) × 100 = ¥22,000. A ¥220 increase per plate across 100 servings. At an Osaka curry restaurant doing 80 plates at lunch, this directional estimate represents approximately ¥17,600 additional daily margin. Treat it as directional, not a personalised forecast.
