What to review this month.
One market-level price decision worth checking.
For comparable Tokyo core curry rice, this month's signal is a convergence rather than a spread.
This band spans from the observed delivery floor (Hinoya Curry,
croquette curry) to the ¥980 convergence point where two
independent Tokyo curry concepts are currently pricing.
One category. One action. Based on the Tokyo Curry reference signal for April 2026.
Tokyo's Japanese curry delivery market has converged tightly this month. Hinoya Curry (日乃屋カレー, a prominent Japanese curry chain) prices its croquette curry at ¥830 via Wolt — establishing the delivery floor. Tokyo Curry Dining Room, an independent concept, and Go Go Curry (ゴーゴーカレー, the famous Kanazawa-style curry chain) have each independently priced their core curry at exactly ¥980. The fact that two different concepts — one independent, one chain, with distinctly different curry styles — have converged at the same ¥980 price point is itself a meaningful market signal: ¥980 is where Tokyo's delivery curry market has settled this month. If your core curry is priced at ¥830, the ¥150 gap to the ¥980 convergence point is the clearest opportunity worth reviewing this month.
These are the four fields MenuGauge AI surfaces in every full analysis.
Two of three observed Tokyo curry concepts have independently priced at ¥980 this month — Tokyo Curry Dining Room (independent) and Go Go Curry (Kanazawa-style chain). This convergence at a single price point is the core signal. The observed floor is Hinoya Curry croquette curry at ¥830. Reference only.
¥980 is where two independently-operating Tokyo curry concepts have converged this month, making it the most defensible reference price for core delivery curry in this market. The standard ¥10 increment rounding applies. Public page reference only—your actual sheet may differ.
If your core curry is priced at the ¥830 floor (Hinoya Curry croquette tier), moving to the ¥980 convergence point represents a ¥150 increase per bowl. Across 100 bowls: ¥15,000 of additional gross profit. This is the directional gap for operators currently at the floor — not a standard profit gain calculation. Ingredient cost held constant.
This month's Tokyo curry signal is a convergence signal rather than a standard danger zone signal. Two distinct concepts at ¥980 set a clear market reference. The actionable question is whether your current price reflects this convergence or sits at the ¥830 floor. Full analysis requires your actual menu data.

This month's signal is a convergence signal. Two of three observed concepts — Tokyo Curry Dining Room (independent, Uber Eats, ¥980) and Go Go Curry (ゴーゴーカレー, Kanazawa-style chain, Wolt, ¥980) — have independently priced at ¥980, making the competitor range ¥980–¥980. Hinoya Curry (日乃屋カレー, Wolt, ¥830, croquette curry) establishes the delivery floor. The ¥980 convergence point is the primary signal this month. The "Gap from Floor to Convergence" metric (+¥15,000/100 bowls) reflects the ¥830→¥980 step for operators currently at the floor.
Standard Price Pulse signals show a positive competitor range spread. This month's Tokyo Curry signal is an exception: the competitor range is ¥980–¥980 (zero width) due to two distinct concepts converging at the same price. The page has been published with full transparency. The convergence itself is a meaningful market signal — future monthly updates may reveal whether the market spreads above ¥980 or consolidates further.
Non-standard this month: (¥980 − ¥830) × 100 = ¥15,000. This represents the directional gain for operators currently at the Hinoya Curry croquette floor (¥830) moving to the ¥980 convergence point. Standard profit gain calculation (CompRange low → suggested) yields ¥0 this month, as documented. Treat as directional only.
Price Pulse is updated monthly. This page reflects April 2026. Future months may show a broader competitor range as more Tokyo curry operators update delivery pricing above ¥980.
Hinoya Curry and Go Go Curry prices are from Wolt; Tokyo Curry Dining Room is from Uber Eats Japan (data from March 2026; page published April 2026). The ¥980 convergence across two independent concepts is confirmed across two different delivery platforms. Hinoya Curry's ¥830 is a croquette curry — a lower-ingredient-cost format that typically prices below standard curry cutlet items.
