The author, who is loosely on a carbohydrate restriction diet, actually tried the low-sugar curry menu item "Low Sugar Curry" sold by Curry House CoCo Ichibanya. Check out the taste and satisfaction level as well as the sugar content!

CoCo Ichibanya's "Low Carbohydrate Curry

CoCo Ichi's "Low Carbohydrate Curry" is a curry with low carbohydrate cauliflower instead of rice. About 180g (6.35oz) of cauliflower is used.


The carbohydrate content is 16g (0.56oz) per serving, and compared to the Pork Curry (200g (7.05oz) of rice) which has 85.8g (0.28oz) of carbohydrate, it's amazing that it's cut down to about 1/5! The calorie content is also quite modest at 277kcal compared to 755kcal for regular pork curry.



By the way, the price is 611 yen per plate (tax included, same below). A large serving (about 225g (7.94oz)) is available for +52 yen, and a small serving (about 135g (4.76oz)) is available for -52 yen. Compared to the regular Pork Curry (514 yen), this dish is about 100 yen more expensive.

How does it taste?

Well, I was curious about the taste! I knew it existed, but this was the first time for me to try cauliflower rice. I knew it existed, but this was my first time eating cauliflower rice, and I'm not a big fan of cauliflower. ...... I was happy that I could limit the sugar content, but I was a little worried if I could enjoy it.


The first thing I felt when it was served to me was the unique aroma of cauliflower. The smell of cauliflower is more pronounced than I expected when I boiled it in a pot. The cauliflower is quite strong. ......!


I tossed it with the roux and took a bite. ......, Huh! Delicious! I can't say it's "just like real rice," but it has a good texture and is very satisfying to eat. When combined with the roux, the unique flavor of the cauliflower mellowed out nicely. I never knew curry and cauliflower could go together so well!



What impressed me the most was that the feeling of fullness after eating was lighter than rice. It doesn't weigh you down or make you feel full. For me, one plate was enough to fill me up for about 8.5 minutes, but men who are very hungry may feel a little short. Men may want to order a large serving of cauliflower rice.


Coco Ichi also has a wide variety of salads on the menu, so if you are worried about the lack of volume or the lack of dietary fiber while restricting sugar, you can add your favorite salad. It is also recommended to adjust the toppings according to how you are feeling that day and your calorie goal, such as adding egg or tuna for nutritional balance, or adding sausage or fried chicken to increase the volume. And of course, you can always add some "crispy chicken" or "spinach" to your curry!
