The Roast Chicken Soup Curry, a fall and winter staple at CoCo Ichibanya (known in Japan as “CoCoICHI”), is back for a limited time this year. Ichibanya Co., Ltd. has announced that it will start selling the dish at Curry House CoCo Ichibanya restaurants across Japan from Monday, November 2, 2026. Known by its short nickname “Rochiki-Su,” the menu item is well received every year. Alongside the launch, a new web commercial titled “Kotoshi mo, Attamaro” (roughly, “Let’s warm up again this year”) starring brand ambassador and actor Yuki Yamada has been released from Thursday, October 29. In this article, we cover the dish’s features, price, sales period, ordering notes, and highlights of the new commercial.
A Popular Fall-Winter Staple: The Roast Chicken Soup Curry
The Roast Chicken Soup Curry is CoCo Ichibanya’s seasonal soup curry featuring big, chunky pieces of tender, juicy chicken. Thanks to its popularity every year, it returns again as a limited-time item perfectly suited to the colder months ahead. Let’s take a look at its appeal from three angles: the soup, the chicken, and the vegetables.
A Soup Infused with Basil and Aromatic Vegetables
The soup curry combines the rich aroma of basil with the savory umami of aromatic vegetables such as onion, garlic, and ginger. Being able to enjoy both the fragrance of basil and the umami of the aromatics is what makes this soup stand out.
Tender, Juicy Chicken Roasted in a Steam Oven
The star of the dish is chicken roasted in a steam oven, giving it a tender and juicy finish. It’s served in hearty, chunky pieces that make a real impression in the soup curry.
Plenty of Vegetables: Potato, Carrot, Eggplant, and Okra
In addition to the chicken, the dish includes a generous variety of vegetables. The main vegetables are:
- Potato
- Carrot
- Eggplant
- Okra
With chicken and vegetables to enjoy together, it’s a satisfying, ingredient-packed plate.

Yuki Yamada Stars in the Web Commercial “Kotoshi mo, Attamaro”
A web commercial starring brand ambassador Yuki Yamada has been available since Thursday, October 29.
The commercial’s theme is a “sense of the season,” the kind of food that warms you up body and soul. Warmth is conveyed through Yamada’s outfit and his glasses fogged up by the steam rising from a piping-hot bowl of Rochiki-Su. The tagline “Kotoshi mo, Attamaro” further emphasizes that the Roast Chicken Soup Curry is a fall-winter staple.
The music features an arrangement of a rhythmical, catchy melody, keeping its approachable feel while creating a more grown-up, warm atmosphere. Watch for Yamada in his glasses, blowing to cool it down before happily digging into the soup curry. The commercial can be viewed on the special page of CoCo Ichibanya’s official website.
