Yes, that is an official CoCoIchi spoon.

    I don’t know what CoColchi is but I’ll Google. The spoon looks like a normal spoon tho 😂what’s so special about the spoon?

      The full name is CoCo Ichibanya. It’s a Japanese curry restaurant chain. If you look closely at the handle it has their imprint on it!

          Nope! Our’s were purchased. You can get them on Amazon. That being said, I had one that I had actually swiped from the location that was near where I was stationed in the Navy, but I lost it years ago. I felt bad about doing it, but they didn’t sell them at that time, and I was young and stupid because I spoke Japanese and probably could have asked the guys that ran it instead of just taking it. I ate there almost every day when my ship wasn’t underway, so they ALL knew and liked me. They probably would have just given it to me. I guess I kind of made up for it by buying two later on? I hope the curry gods have mercy on me.

            Hahaha OK I live in Bermuda but I have traveled to the States a lot, but I never heard of them… Is it a West Coast thing?

              That’s so cool. What’s it like there? My dad and step-mum went there on their honeymoon, but they only saw it from a tourist’s perspective.

              It’s a Japan thing! I believe they also have locations in Hawaii. I was stationed in Japan when I was in the Navy and CoCoIchi locations are like McDonald’s level there. I ate there almost every day (sometimes twice!).

                Bermuda is wonderfully beautiful, but painfully small… So you get what we call rock fever, just have to travel, get off the rock

                  Ha! I can imagine. Must be like living in a small town with no way to get away from it. I hope your experiences in the US were good. I’m so disappointed in and ashamed of my country. We should be better than, well, this [gestures around].
