Matsuya Higashi-Omiya Station-Front Branch Completes Renovation, Reopens Today at 10 AM as Matsunoya Co-located Store
On the Matsuya official website’s store list, as of 15:58 on June 17, 2026, it was confirmed that the temporary closure notice — ‘*Temporarily closed from 15:00 on June 4, reopening at 10:00 on June 17’ — appended to the name of Matsuya Higashi-Omiya Station-Front Branch (store code 0498; Azuma Building 1F, 5-38-5 Higashi-Omiya, Minuma Ward, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) had been removed. This normalization of the listing follows today’s reopening at 10:00 on June 17 after approximately 13 days of temporary closure for renovation, completing the format conversion from the pre-renovation My Curry Shokudo co-located store to a Matsunoya co-located store.

Conversion from My Curry Shokudo Co-located to Matsunoya Co-located Complete
Matsuya Higashi-Omiya Station-Front Branch entered temporary closure for renovation from 15:00 on June 4, 2026, and converted its format from the pre-renovation My Curry Shokudo co-location to Matsunoya co-location upon reopening today, June 17, at 10:00. This conversion from My Curry Shokudo co-located store to Matsunoya co-located store is a close parallel to Matsuya Iwade Branch (store code 0710, Wakayama Prefecture), which entered temporary closure under the same pattern on June 15. Each renovation case adds to a recurring pattern in which the overall number of My Curry Shokudo co-located stores is being trimmed while Matsunoya co-located stores continue to increase.
Timeline of Reopenings in Late June
Late June has seen a steady succession of stores returning from temporary closure for renovation. In addition to today’s reopening of the Higashi-Omiya Station-Front Branch at 10:00 on the 17th, Matsuya Senbayashi-Omiya Branch (Matsunoya co-located) completed its reopening on June 10, and Matsuya Oguchi Branch (Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City; Matsunoya co-located) completed its reopening on June 16. On June 15, four stores — Hakusan, Okayama Tooka-Ichi, Iwade, and Asaka Higashiguchi branches — entered temporary closure as Matsunoya or My Curry Shokudo co-located stores, making this a period of densely overlapping renovation cases. With this branch’s format conversion completing toward Matsunoya co-location, the network of Matsuya-Matsunoya co-located stores in the Kanto region grows further.
Operating Hours Structure
Following its reopening, Matsuya Higashi-Omiya Station-Front Branch operates on the following hours: the Matsuya side from 5:00 AM to 2:00 AM, and the Matsunoya side from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM (last order 15 minutes before close). The setup secures extended late-night operation until 2:00 AM on the Matsuya side, while the co-located Matsunoya portion is confined to daytime and evening hours. For those who start their day at 5:00 AM, this marks the return of set-meal breakfast options in the Higashi-Omiya area for the first time in roughly 13 days.
Editor's Note
The conversion from My Curry Shokudo to Matsunoya was completed in just 13 days — an important store has returned for the 5 AM crowd in Minuma Ward. This also brings tonkatsu access much closer to hand.
