■ Comment from "VIVA LA ROCK 2026 Supported by SAISON" Food Director Jun Shikano
The season when rock festivals and meals team up once a year has arrived again. This is our 13th "VIVA LA ROCK," and our 8th collaboration. I feel a rock 'n' roll thrill that we can once again satisfy the appetites of people in the Kanto region, especially Saitama, this spring!
This year's theme is "Stadium Curry, will you be dyed red? Or will you be dyed black?"
This year, "VIVA LA ROCK" will be held outdoors for one year only due to renovation work at the usual venue, GMO Arena Saitama. The venue will be Saitama Stadium 2002, a famous spot in Saitama alongside GMO Arena Saitama. We will be ringing out rock in Saitama this Golden Week at the sacred ground known as "Saisuta," where the Japanese national football team boasts an undefeated legend!
With that in mind, we wanted to incorporate the stadium into this signature collaboration! After repeating trial and error with excitement, we created this "Red & Black Curry."
The main stand is a red curry where you can taste the umami and acidity of tomatoes. The back stand is a black curry layered with the umami of beef and spiciness...
