CoCo Ichibanya’s Official App Relaunches on November 4 with New Cocopo Points
Ichibanya Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture), operator of the curry chain CoCo Ichibanya, has announced that its official app, the Curry House CoCo Ichibanya Official App (the CoCoICHI app), will be relaunched on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The headline feature is Cocopo (ココポ), a new points program in which you earn points based on how much you spend at CoCo Ichibanya restaurants across Japan. The update also adds an app membership rank system, a ranking feature, and a store collection feature.
To celebrate the relaunch, three special campaigns are planned, including one that gives you 100 Cocopo points just for registering in advance.
New Feature 1: Earning and Using Cocopo
Scan the 2D Code on Your Receipt
Receipts issued at checkout will now carry a 2D code. Open the app and scan the code to earn 1 Cocopo point for every ¥100 (tax included) of your total bill. For example, a ¥1,000 (tax included) bill earns you 10 points.
Redeem for Topping Tickets or Original Merchandise
Accumulated Cocopo can be exchanged in the app for topping tickets or original CoCoICHI app merchandise. Sample topping ticket redemptions:
- Eggplant (3 pieces): 90 points
- Fish fry (1 piece): 140 points
- Sausages (2): 190 points
- Pork loin cutlet: 400 points
Cocopo points expire one year after your last use. Details on the original merchandise are scheduled to be published on the app’s special website on the relaunch day, Wednesday, November 4.
New Feature 2: Membership Ranks
There are three membership ranks — Regular, Gold, and Platinum — and the higher your rank, the higher your Cocopo earning rate. Ranks are determined and updated on the 1st of each month based on your cumulative spending over the past year.
New Feature 3: Rankings
The number of times you have scanned receipt 2D codes is displayed in rankings, available in three categories: yearly, monthly, and by prefecture.
New Feature 4: Store Collection
By scanning the 2D codes on your receipts, you can view and collect the restaurants you have visited based on your visit history. It could be a fun way to keep a record of the locations you drop by while traveling or on business trips.
