Founded by a former graphic designer with a passion for cooking and Japanese culture, Karēkami is where creativity meets comfort food. Guided by the comforting memories of home-cooked meals, he traded his mouse for a ladle, and sketchbooks for recipe notebooks. What started as a love for perfecting curry at home became a mission to create bento that speak to local taste buds—rich, hearty, and just a little spicier than the traditional Japanese style.
Karēkami’s journey began in 2023 as Karē at One North (Fusionpolis), where we served comforting Japanese curry in take-out bento boxes — a quick, satisfying, and affordable meal for the busy office crowd. What started as a simple idea soon grew into a passion for sharing the warmth and heartiness of Japanese curry with more people.
