Matsuya's Sawara Store and Asaka Hizaori Store Complete Reopening at 10 AM Today

At 4:52 PM on May 26, 2026, in the store data on the official Matsuya website, the notation “*Temporarily closed from 15:00 on May 12 (May 11 for Asaka Hizaori Store), reopening May 26 at 10:00” was removed from the end of the store names of “Matsuya Sawara Store” (0989, 1-13-10 Kita, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture) and “Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store” (1811, 2-10-14 Hizaorimachi, Asaka City, Saitama Prefecture). Both stores were scheduled for a renewal opening today, May 26, at 10:00, and this represents a cleanup of the official website’s notation following the completed reopening.

Summary of Both Stores’ Information

Item	Matsuya Sawara Store	Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store
Store code	0989	1811
Prefecture	Chiba Prefecture	Saitama Prefecture
Address	1-13-10 Kita, Katori City	2-10-14 Hizaorimachi, Asaka City
Temporary closure period	15:00 May 12 – 10:00 May 26	15:00 May 11 – 10:00 May 26

Both stores will operate as “Matsunoya co-located stores” after renovation, which is common to both. However, the pre-renovation configuration differs: Sawara Store went from “standalone to co-located,” while Asaka Hizaori Store underwent a “business format conversion from My Curry Shokudo co-location to Matsunoya co-location.”

Renovation History of Matsuya Sawara Store

As of March 28, Sawara Store was a standalone store with no co-located brand. During the renovation period, “Matsunoya co-location” was added.

Date/Time	Event
April 28, 2026, 10:58	Temporary closure schedule added (5/12 15:00 – 5/26 10:00)
May 12, 2026, 15:00	Entered renovation temporary closure (still without co-location at this point)
May 12, 2026, 16:28	“(Matsunoya co-located)” added to end of store name (approx. 1 hour 28 minutes after entering closure)
May 26, 2026, 10:00	Renewal opening as a Matsunoya co-located store
May 26, 2026, 16:52 (this time)	Temporary closure schedule notation removed from end of store name

Renovation History of Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store

Asaka Hizaori Store was originally a “My Curry Shokudo co-located” store. This renovation resulted in an irregular pattern: a business format conversion to “Matsunoya co-location.”

Date/Time	Event
April 28, 2026, 10:58	Temporary closure schedule added (5/11 15:00 – 5/26 10:00)
May 11, 2026, 15:00	Entered renovation temporary closure (still with My Curry Shokudo co-location at this point)
May 11, 2026, 17:04	End of store name changed from “(My Curry Shokudo co-located)” to “(Matsunoya co-located)”; operating hours notation also updated to “24-hour operation *Matsunoya: 8:00 to 22:00, last order 15 minutes prior”
May 26, 2026, 10:00	Renewal opening as a Matsunoya co-located store
May 26, 2026, 16:52 (this time)	Temporary closure schedule notation removed from end of store name

The “My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location” business format conversion pattern is the same type as Matsuya Kiyose Noshio Store (1859), which reopened April 22, and Matsuya Minowacho Store (1838), which reopened May 22. Today’s Asaka Hizaori Store is the third instance of this business format conversion pattern.

Reopening Progress of the Four Stores That Closed on May 11

Asaka Hizaori Store is one of four stores (Asaka Hizaori, Aoto, Nangodori, Minowacho) that temporarily closed starting May 11. The reopening progress is summarized below.

Store	Temporary closure start	Reopening	Renovation content
Matsuya Minowacho Store (1838, Nagano Prefecture)	May 11, 15:00	May 22, 2026, 10:00	My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location
Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store (1811, Saitama Prefecture, this time)	May 11, 15:00	May 26, 2026, 10:00	My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location
Matsuya Aoto Store (0575, Tokyo)	May 11, 15:00	May 28, 2026, 10:00 (scheduled)	Standalone store → Matsunoya co-location
Matsuya Nangodori Store (0748, Hokkaido)	May 11, 15:00	June 3, 2026, 9:00 (after postponement)	Standalone store → Matsunoya co-location

Asaka Hizaori Store becomes the second store among the May 11 group to reopen (the first was Minowacho Store, which reopened May 22). The remaining two stores (Aoto Store and Nangodori Store) are scheduled to reopen on May 28 and June 3, respectively.

Progress of Matsunoya Co-location Conversions Among Renovation Reopenings Since May

Including today’s Sawara Store and Asaka Hizaori Store, the number of “renovated stores involving conversion to Matsunoya co-location” that have completed reopening since May now stands at three.

Reopening date	Store	Prefecture	Renovation pattern
May 22, 2026	Matsuya Minowacho Store	Nagano Prefecture	My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location
May 26, 2026 (this time)	Matsuya Sawara Store	Chiba Prefecture	Standalone store → Matsunoya co-location
May 26, 2026 (this time)	Matsuya Asaka Hizaori Store	Saitama Prefecture	My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location

Of these three stores, two follow the “My Curry Shokudo co-location → Matsunoya co-location” pattern, and one follows the “standalone store → Matsunoya co-location” pattern. The picture is converging on a shift toward Matsunoya co-location, and the progress of this renovation wave is becoming visible.
