Waku Waku is a culinary odyssey sparked by our founder William's enchanting discovery of Hokkaido Soup Curry during his Japanese explorations. Captivated by its rich, soulful flavours, he roamed the streets of Tokyo and Hokkaido, immersing himself in the essence of this captivating dish. Inspired by the warmth and unique taste, he dreamed of bringing the magic of Hokkaido Soup Curry to Melbourne. In 2021, Waku Waku founded in Melbourne CBD, swiftly capturing the hearts of locals. Fueled by overwhelming support, our culinary journey expanded in 2023 with the Eastland branch—a testament to our commitment to sharing the cultural richness and unparalleled taste of Hokkaido Soup Curry.

The name "Waku Waku" embodies our founders' desire to infuse excitement into every customer's experience. Stepping into our store means entering a realm where the thrill of authentic Hokkaido Soup Curry awaits. As we grow, our mission stands strong: to share the warmth, flavor, and cultural richness of Hokkaido Soup Curry with Melbourne and beyond.
