Curry restaurant chain CoCo Ichibanya will begin charging a late-night surcharge for the first time from September 1, according to a September 1 announcement. The price increase will also be applied to a dozen toppings, which will see a 17% average increase. The surcharge will be 7% for dine-in and takeout orders placed between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., while topping prices will range from 11 yen to 60 yen.
Factors contributing to the price hikes include rising ingredient, packaging, and labor costs due to the weaker yen, international conditions, and labor expenses.
