Yes, that is an official CoCoIchi 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.
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!).
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].
