Ichibanya Co., Ltd. is a Japanese food services company based in Ichinomiya, Aichi. Ichibanya Co., Ltd. owns the top curry rice restaurant chain in Japan, Curry House CoCo Ichibanya or usually just CoCo Ichiban or CoCo Ichi. The chain has restaurants all over Japan and 46 restaurants overseas, including mainland China, Taiwan, Hawaii, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Torrance, California. The chain includes a large number of franchise restaurants as well as directly owned restaurants. The Curry House chain is by far the company's largest business.

There's two gradations of spiciness for curry at Coco Ichibanya - mild and normal - with mild being completely innocuous. Normal is not necessarily spicy either, as Japanese curry is pretty much universally bland in terms of spiciness. It's different from Indian curry, but good. Visitors to Honolulu with a yen for Asian style cuisine may also try Chinese, Thai, Korean and Vietnamese inside the McCully mall.

In the Playstation 2 game, Curry House Coco Ichibanya players don the brown checkered uniform of a Coco employee in order to participate in the operations of a Coco Ichibanya restaurant and engage in mini-games to serve ravenous customers their ration of curry eats. When preparing a meal, a bowl sits underneath a roulette wheel of ingredients and players drop the proper foods into each bowl, made to order. Players also man the register, clean up after messy customers and even make delivery runs on a motorbike for phone-in orders.

Some of the mini-games involve ladling just the right amount of rice onto 10 bowls, curry eating contests, and customer seating memorization. There's even a quiz section which tests players on Coco Ichibanya's food and restaurants.
