Matsuya Urawa Nakamachi Reopens Today at 3 PM After Temporary Closure

StoreUpdatedTemporarily Closed

Matsuya Urawa Nakamachi (store No. 1944) reopened on July 14, 2026 at 3 PM, following a temporary closure. On Matsuya’s official store information page, the note about the temporary closure and reopening date that had been attached to this location has disappeared, and the store name has reverted to its normal listing, “Matsuya Urawa Nakamachi (co-located with Matsunoya).”

The closure lasted seven days, from 3 PM on July 7 to 3 PM on July 14. The store reopened today at 3 PM, exactly as announced.

The Closure Schedule Was Pushed Back Four Days From the Original Announcement

This reopening came after the schedule had been rearranged once. The closure was originally announced as running “from 3 PM on July 3 to 3 PM on July 10,” but as of June 24 this had been changed to “from 3 PM on July 7 to 3 PM on July 14.” Both the closing and reopening dates were pushed back by four days each, while the closure period itself remained seven days.

Stage Closure Start Reopening
Original announcement 3 PM, July 3 3 PM, July 10
After postponement 3 PM, July 7 3 PM, July 14

This postponed schedule was carried out as revised, leading to today’s reopening at 3 PM on July 14.

Urawa Nakamachi Is the Only Matsunoya Co-located Location in Urawa Ward

Urawa Nakamachi is a location that co-locates a Matsunoya, the tonkatsu and set meal chain, which appears to have reopened at the same time. Saitama City’s Urawa Ward has three Matsuya locations — Kita-Urawa East Exit (No. 0310), Yono Station Front (No. 0744), and Urawa Nakamachi — and of these, only Urawa Nakamachi is co-located with a Matsunoya. This means the ward’s only location where customers can visit both Matsuya and Matsunoya at once has returned after completing its closure period.

Across Saitama Prefecture as a whole, 43 of Matsuya’s 102 locations are co-located with Matsunoya, and Urawa Nakamachi is one of them. This development is the reopening of an existing location, not a new store opening.

Editor's Note

Relieved to see it reopen right on schedule. Matsunoya came back along with it, so both the fried-cutlet crowd and the beef bowl crowd can go back to agonizing over the choice at Urawa Nakamachi.
