Ever wondered why a Japanese curry spot in Times Square has a giant Gorilla on the logo? 🧐🦍
It all ties back to sports history and a clever twist of language! Our brand identity celebrates baseball legend Hideki Matsui, who famously wore jersey number 55. In Japanese, the number 5 is pronounced "Go," meaning 55 translates perfectly to "Go Go!" ⚾️💥
While the original idea was to feature Godzilla, copyright restrictions steered us toward a powerful Gorilla instead—creating the ultimate symbol for our crave-worthy comfort food.
Celebrate GO GO Day with us today! Stop by our Times Square hub, grab a hearty plate of authentic Kanazawa-style katsu curry, and fuel your grind. 🍛🔥
