Matsuya Ikuta Branch Returns to Normal Listing After About Two and a Half Months Outside the Matsuya Category
Matsuya Ikuta Branch (No. 0485, co-located with My Curry Shokudo) in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, has been found to have returned to the “Beef Bowl, Curry and Rice, Set Meal, Bowl” category (Matsuya category) in the store list on Matsuya’s official website. The store had been excluded from this category since April 7, marking a return after about two and a half months. At the same time, the now-expired temporary closure notice that had remained attached to the store name has also been removed.
What Was Restored and What Was Removed
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Matsuya category | Excluded | Reinstated |
| Store name note | *Temporarily closed from 15:00 on March 18; reopening at 10:00 on April 7 | (No note) |
| Temporary closure date/time | 15:00, March 18, 2026 | None |
| Scheduled reopening date/time | 10:00, April 7, 2026 | None |
The temporary closure notice attached to the store name related to renovation work from 15:00 on March 18 to 10:00 on April 7, a period that has already ended. This latest change has removed the outdated notice from the store name, and the scheduled closure and reopening dates and times are gone as well. The Ikuta Branch is located at 7-8-9 Ikuta, Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and operates around the clock as a store co-located with My Curry Shokudo.
Normalized After About Two and a Half Months Outside the Category Since April 7
On April 7 — the scheduled reopening date following its temporary closure that began March 18 — the Ikuta Branch was excluded from the Matsuya category (Beef Bowl, Curry and Rice, Set Meal, Bowl). At the time, the store itself continued to exist, with only its Matsuya category listing removed, and this was seen as a transitional state tied to re-registration after the renewal. This condition continued for about two and a half months before the store finally returned to the Matsuya category this time, and with the now-expired temporary closure notice cleared away as well, the store’s listing has fallen back into line with its normal state. The Ikuta Branch, which is co-located with My Curry Shokudo, is also one of the stores carrying a store-limited Curry and Rice offering.
Editor's Note
The Ikuta Branch had been sitting outside the Matsuya category on its own since April — it's finally back in its rightful place after about two and a half months. The store itself was open the whole time.
