Price Increase Notification Effective 10/3/23
Dear Valued Customers,
Since 2021, we have maintained prices of the main dishes for the past 2 years.
Cost of ingredients and everything else have continually increased, and we have implemented all the possible cost-cutting measures. However, we opted to maintain the quality of the ingredients as cutting corners is not our way of doing business.
All things considered, it is necessary for us to increase the prices of the main dishes and frozen sauces by $1 beginning 10/3/23.
We appreciate your understanding of this change and continued support.
Thank You.

Now serving Handmade Chicken Cutlet, add $5 to any Kalé® Rice or Doria for a limited time only. It is handmade and baked for your health!
At Kalé®, we serve the dish that has been the ultimate comfort food to Japanese for over a century.
On average, a Japanese person is likely to eat the dish 84 times a year; undoubtedly, it is one of the most popular food in Japan. Savory, and similar to a stew consisting of meat, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and many other vegetables, locals enjoy it over Japanese rice. Americans who have been to Japan and tried it mostly say, “It’s addictive!”

What Others Are Saying!
Come find out for yourself
“Kalé is spot on to what I had in Japan”
“I first had Japanese curry when I visited Japan in 2019, and totally fell in love with it. It is very different from Thai or Indian curry. Kalé is spot on to what I had in Japan, it is very silky and delicious, just slightly sweet. The chicken katsu is really moist and the brown rice was tender. Love the radish pickles. Definitely recommend!“
“Very deep flavor, yet not too heavy”
“Excellent curry with Fukujin-zuke on a side (my fav). Very deep flavor, yet not too heavy; my beef was so soft that melts in mouth. Not spicy by any means, but I’m sure you can make it hotter if you’d like. I’ve taken home and still warm & just as good. Leftover with udon noodle, made another meal”
“Keep doing what you do Kale, I love it”
“I always love going here. When you walk through the door the aroma of the curry warms your soul. This matched with the great taste makes my day every time. It is so different from any other curry, so if your a curry lover, you’ll love it, but if you hate curry like my wife, you will still love this curry. Even options for the meat free people in the Portland area. Keep doing what you do Kale, I love it.”
