Ken-Chan Curry introduces a new limited-time spicy curry built around the balance of heat and umami, now available at its Haymarket, Neutral Bay, Newtown, Rhodes, and Mascot stores.
SYDNEY, Australia — Ken-Chan Curry (REBEL Inc.), the premier Japanese curry brand, is excited to announce the launch of its limited-edition “Umakara” Spicy Chicken Katsu Curry, available from October 4, 2026 for a limited time only. The new menu item can be enjoyed at five Ken-Chan Curry locations across Sydney: Haymarket, Neutral Bay, Newtown, Rhodes, and Mascot.
“Umakara” — a Japanese word combining “uma” (delicious) and “kara” (spicy) — reflects the idea behind the dish: spicy, but seriously delicious. The brand spent months refining the spice blend, not simply to make the curry hotter, but to create the right balance of heat, spice, and deep umami. The result is a bold Japanese curry where the heat hits first, followed by the rich flavor that keeps customers coming back for another bite.
The Umakara curry is available for a limited time only, and Ken-Chan Curry invites customers to visit one of the five participating stores while it lasts. The launch continues the brand’s mission to make Japanese comfort food a daily global staple.
