Curry Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Director: Takahisa Inoue / Shibuya, Tokyo), a media-recognized consulting firm specializing in curry, announces that Director Takahisa Inoue—also known as the representative of Inoue Strategic PR Consulting—is a renowned PR and public relations consultant. On his popular YouTube channel, "The Unknown World of PR with Takahisa Inoue," he has released a new video titled: "[Curry Graduate School AI × Curry × Business Comprehensive Course]: Not using AI is like chasing a bullet train on foot. The era of AI-essential curry business has arrived! Those who dismiss AI in curry will vanish from the market."
To commemorate the video launch, a campaign will give away original spice blends to three lucky winners by lottery. Interested individuals should contact the company and apply by July 4.
Curry businesses relying solely on intuition and experience will be eliminated by 2026.
"As long as we keep doing things the same way and make delicious curry, customers will come."
If you believe this even slightly, discard that mindset immediately.
Right now, Japan's food industry—and especially the curry sector—is undergoing an unprecedented "tectonic shift."
Aging population, rising raw material costs, and intensifying competition among stores and products. In this already challenging era, cutting-edge technology—"generative AI"—has exploded in popularity.
This is not just a passing IT trend.
It is a "weapon" that fundamentally changes the rules of business.
While you rely on "years of instinct," spending days or months agonizing over spice blends, developing new product concepts, and writing press releases, your AI-empowered competitors generate 100 hit ideas in just "5 minutes" and launch ultra-fast media campaigns.
Management based solely on "artisan experience" is no longer a virtue—it's a fatal risk.
Those who fail to ride the wave of technology and update themselves will quietly disappear from the market, no matter how delicious their curry may be.
Yet, this is also the "greatest opportunity." With the right knowledge and a powerful "planning vice president" in the form of AI, even individual shops and small-to-medium enterprises can dominate the market with overwhelming speed and quality, surpassing even large corporations.
