Running for over a decade, the Kanda Curry Grand Prix is a celebration of this beloved dish in its myriad forms. The two-day affair brings out a variety of curry vendors , and they receive votes from attendees in order to win awards. It's not just Japanese-style curry on offer, either – there is Indian-style, Thai-style, and Sri Lankan-style curries to name just a few!

If you are planning on attending, please note that the event hours differ each day. On the Saturday the event runs from 11am until 7pm, and on the Sunday those hours are shortened slightly to 11am until 5pm. The award ceremony for the winners of the Curry Grand Prix will take place sometime after 5pm on Sunday at the venue.

Getting there

Kanda Ogawa Square is located around 5 minutes on foot from Ogawamachi Station, which is served by the Toei Subway's Toei Shinjuku Line.
