The first overseas outpost of Tokyo restaurant CURRY UP, the brainchild of Japanese fashion icon NIGO of Kenzo and A Bathing Ape fame, has opened its doors in Repulse Bay.
The restaurant was first opened by NIGO in 2010 in Tokyo’s ever-quirky Harajuku district as a tribute to the area’s former celebrated curry shop GHEE, where the fashion designer used to work part-time. The brand has since expanded to the cool-cat residential district of Nakameguro. Both branches offer fusions of Japanese and Indian curries, and a special curry rice flavour is launched every week.
CURRY UP is as well known for its minimalist, industrial aesthetic as it is for its delectable curries, with the restaurant’s name christened by NIGO’s long-time friend Pharrell Williams.
