"Yojiya," a lifestyle brand from Kyoto operated by Yojiya Co., Ltd. (Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Akira Kunieda), will start offering body-friendly curries as a new menu item from Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The mildly flavored "Butter Chicken Curry" and the addictively spicy "Beef Cheek Black Sesame Curry" are both gluten-free. In addition, at the "Yojiya Shijo Kawaramachi Store," a great value lunch set starting from 980 yen has been newly introduced, available exclusively on weekdays. You can combine your choice of main dish from 5 options with a small bowl of healthy side dishes using vegetables and sweets. The newly introduced curries can also be enjoyed as part of the lunch set. We aim to be a store that can be used on a daily basis in a wide range of situations, including lunch during work breaks.
[Yojiya's Homemade, Body-Friendly Curry]
Yojiya is pleased to introduce body-friendly curries. Because they are our originals made from scratch in our kitchen, we have realized gluten-free curries that prioritize kindness to the body. We are offering two types: "Butter Chicken Curry," which is mild with secret ingredients of white miso and honey, and the spicy "Beef Cheek Black Sesame Curry," where you can enjoy the umami of rare beef cheek meat and the flavor of black sesame. You can make the rice a large portion for an extra 100 yen, perfect for when you want to eat your fill. Please enjoy Yojiya's curries that will satisfy both your body and soul.
[Meeting Weekday Lunch Demand]
At "Yojiya" cafes, we were not adequately meeting the needs of weekday lunches where serving speed is required. Against this background, we reviewed some menu items and cooking processes to improve serving speed. At the same time, the newly introduced curries can be served smoothly due to advance preparation, allowing you to enjoy them in a short time.
In addition, the Shijo Kawaramachi store will start offering weekday-only lunch sets. You can choose your favorite main dish from 5 types including the newly introduced curries, and combine it with a small bowl of vegetables selected with nutritional balance in mind or a petit sweet, enjoying a lunch tailored to your mood that day at a great price.
Moving forward, we aim to be a store that can be used on a daily basis by people working nearby who want a quick meal between work hours, and many others.
Please check the details of the revised menu and sets at the store.

Start of service: Wednesday, April 15, 2026
