Royal Host Celebrates 55th Anniversary! Highly Anticipated "Good JAPAN Summer Curry Fair" Returns ~Sales Begin May 27th (Wednesday) at Royal Host Locations Nationwide~

Royal Host, operated by Royal Group, will commemorate its 55th anniversary in December this year by holding the "Good JAPAN Summer Curry Fair" for a limited time starting May 27, 2026 (Wednesday). This marks the 38th iteration of the fair and its return after a 7-year absence since 2019.

Royal Host has a long history of offering numerous curry dishes to many customers. For this fair, in addition to our long-cultivated traditional flavors, we will offer "Royal Host's Best Curry Ever," leveraging the expertise and cooking techniques accumulated from previous curry fairs, world cuisine fairs, and the "Good JAPAN" fair, which showcases the appeal of local produce and ingredients from across Japan through the group.

This fair will feature four curries, each with a distinct personality. These "gourmet curries" characteristic of Royal Host use Japanese ingredients, such as the "Kuroge Wagyu and Gouda Cheese European Curry," which has a rich flavor deepened by domestic Gouda cheese in a sauce infused with the umami of slowly stewed Kuroge Wagyu thigh meat; the "Enchanting Pork Curry with Stewed Domestic Pork Shoulder Loin," featuring block meat of domestic pork shoulder loin simmered with uniquely blended spices; and the "Tropical Coconut Curry with Kesennuma Swordfish Grill," based on a lobster stock (Western cuisine broth) layered with the richness of peanuts and the aroma of lemongrass. Additionally, the "Royal Host Javanese Dry Curry & Kashmir" will also be available, allowing you to enjoy two traditional major curries on one plate for a deep, expansive flavor.

To complement the curries, we will also offer chilled appetizers perfect for the hot summer, made with Japanese ingredients, such as "Chilled Vichyssoise" condensing the umami of domestic potatoes, and a homemade "Terrine" with Kagoshima Satsumasendai eel and colorful vegetables. After a spicy curry, the "Coco Ananas" dessert drink with its refreshing pineapple aroma is recommended. Furthermore, the "Good JAPAN Gozen," featuring carefully selected domestic ingredients, will be offered concurrently, including the "Black x Black Hamburger Hashed Beef and Western Crab Omelet Rice Gozen." With this diverse lineup, Royal Host proposes a special summer experience unique to its brand.

Since its establishment, Royal Host has been committed to providing delicious, safe, and secure food. We will continue to welcome everyone with deliciousness and hospitality.
