Kokonatsu: Yakinori’s Spicy Red Coconut Curry That Brings the Heat

Some dishes just have personality.
Kokonatsu isn’t just a curry—it’s a whole mood. Fiery, creamy, and comfort-packed, this bowl brings together bold Southeast Asian flavours with a fresh Japanese-inspired twist.

Whether you’re after something cosy or crave a little kick, Yakinori’s Kokonatsu is about to be your new go-to.

What Is Kokonatsu?

In Japanese, “Kokonatsu” means coconut—and sometimes evokes feelings of summer, warmth, and tropical comfort. That’s exactly what this dish delivers.

Kokonatsu is Yakinori’s take on a spicy red coconut curry that’s full of heat, flavour, and soul-soothing ingredients. It’s got depth, texture, and just the right hint of sweetness to balance out the spice.

What’s Inside?

Every bowl of Kokonatsu is handcrafted with a flavour-packed lineup of ingredients:

  • A rich, spicy red coconut curry base

  • Infused with lemongrass, garlic, and ginger

  • Stir-fried with mangetout, red peppers, red onions, and mushrooms

  • Served over fluffy sticky rice

  • Topped with mixed sesame seeds for a nutty crunch

  • And finished with an optional drizzle of Sriracha mayo (because we like to spice things up)

And that sticky rice? It soaks up every bit of curry like a flavour sponge.
