Matsuya Expands Store-Limited 'Matsu Shake' from 5 to 12 Stores, More Than Doubling Availability
This article has a newer version
Matsuya’s official store-limited menu data showed on the morning of June 9, 2026 that the number of stores carrying the shake product ‘Matsu Shake’ expanded from 5 to 12. The shake lineup known as ‘Sweet Matsuya,’ which debuted as a store-limited item on April 21, has moved out of its test-sale tier and into a broader rollout phase after about seven weeks. In the same update today, three test-sale items that launched as store-limited offerings on May 26 — ‘Hamburg Steak in Rich Umami Stew with Mushroom Duxelles,’ ‘Hamburg Steak with Black Carbonara Sauce,’ and ‘Yulinji Set Meal’ — were simultaneously delisted after roughly 14 days on sale, making this a moment where the store-limited lineup turned over all at once.
Matsu Shake: Store Count Grows 2.4x in About Seven Weeks Since April 21 Debut
Matsu Shake is a lineup of shake products that Matsuya launched as a store-limited offering at 10:00 AM on April 21, 2026. Initially available at just five stores nationwide, it was recognized as an ‘ultra-rare item,’ but this morning’s data update on June 9 expanded the number of participating stores to 12. Growing from 5 to 12 stores marks a 2.4x increase in scale — the first major expansion in about seven weeks.
The official announcement poster carries the catchphrase ‘Sweet Matsuya, Unleashed.’ alongside the sales hours ‘5:00 AM–12:00 AM,’ and the lineup consists of three varieties: ‘Vanilla,’ ‘Vanilla & Strawberry,’ and ‘Vanilla & Choco Cocoa Cookie.’ The latest 12 participating stores can be checked on the map at the official store locator page.
| Product Name | S Size | M Size |
|---|---|---|
| Matsu Shake Vanilla | 180 yen | 240 yen |
| Matsu Shake Vanilla & Strawberry | 290 yen | 350 yen |
| Matsu Shake Vanilla & Choco Cocoa Cookie | 320 yen | 380 yen |
| Date | Number of Stores | Status |
|---|---|---|
| April 21, 2026 (Debut) | 5 stores | Ultra-rare, nationwide-limited slot |
| June 9, 2026 (This update) | 12 stores | Expansion phase (+7 stores, 2.4x) |
The plain Vanilla starts at as little as 180 yen (S size), while the highest-priced topped option is the Vanilla & Choco Cocoa Cookie M at 380 yen. Priced in the same range as Beef Bowl side dishes, it’s designed as an easy dessert add-on, and with sales hours running from 5:00 AM to 12:00 AM, it fits squarely within Matsuya’s regular operating hours.
Breakdown of the 12 Participating Stores: All Within the Greater Tokyo Area’s 4 Prefectures, Tokyo and Chiba Tied for the Most at 4 Stores Each
The 12 stores after the expansion are distributed only across the four Greater Tokyo prefectures of Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama, with no coverage in any other region. By prefecture, Tokyo and Chiba are tied for the most with 4 stores each, followed by Kanagawa and Saitama with 2 stores each — a lineup that gives balanced coverage across the four major Greater Tokyo prefectures.
| Prefecture | Store Name | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Tokyo | Matsuya Kioicho Store | 3-5-17 Kojimachi, Chiyoda-ku, Seika Building |
| Tokyo | Matsuya Iwamotocho Store | 4-4 Kanda Iwamotocho, Chiyoda-ku, Kanda Hokushin Building 1F |
| Tokyo | Matsuya Adachi Rokumachi Store | 1-8-14 Rokumachi, Adachi-ku |
| Tokyo | Matsuya Hachioji Yamada Store | 435-9 Obikimachi, Hachioji-shi |
| Chiba | Matsuya Higashi-Kamagaya Store | 2-20-6 Higashi-Kamagaya, Kamagaya-shi |
| Chiba | Matsuya Kashiwa Aobadai Store | 1-27-13 Aobadai, Kashiwa-shi |
| Chiba | Matsuya Funabashi Shibayama Store | 1-1402-2 Hasamamachi, Funabashi-shi |
| Chiba | Matsuya Noda Yamazaki Shinmachi Store | 20-18 Yamazaki Shinmachi, Noda-shi |
| Kanagawa | Matsuya Ayase Terao-nishi Store | 2-6-9 Teraonishi, Ayase-shi |
| Kanagawa | Matsuya Tsuzuki Ikenobecho Store | 3569 Ikenobecho, Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama-shi |
| Saitama | Matsuya Misato Shimohikokawado Store | 762-1 Shimohikokawado, Misato-shi |
| Saitama | Matsuya Saitama Minuma Store | 94-1 Shintsutsumi, Minuma-ku, Saitama-shi |
Of the four Tokyo stores, both the Kioicho and Iwamotocho stores are located in Chiyoda-ku, giving the lineup a notable concentration in government and office districts. The remaining Adachi Rokumachi and Hachioji Yamada stores, Kanagawa’s Ayase Terao-nishi and Tsuzuki Ikenobecho stores, and the Chiba and Saitama locations are roadside-type or suburban residential-area stores, covering both business and family demand. The northernmost point is Minuma-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture; the southernmost is Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; the westernmost is Hachioji City, Tokyo; and the easternmost spans Noda City and Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture — a range that broadly stays within the Greater Tokyo outer loop.

Three Test-Sale Items Launched May 26 Delisted Simultaneously After About 14 Days
Three items that launched simultaneously as store-limited offerings at 10:00 AM on May 26 were all delisted from the data at the same time this morning, June 9. Their sales period lasted exactly about 14 days — added on May 26, ended on June 9 — a perfectly synchronized exit.
| Product Name | Start Date | Delisted | Number of Stores | Sales Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hamburg Steak with Black Carbonara Sauce | May 26, 2026, 10:00 AM | June 9, 2026 | 70 stores | About 14 days |
| Hamburg Steak in Rich Umami Stew with Mushroom Duxelles | May 26, 2026, 10:00 AM | June 9, 2026 | 70 stores | About 14 days |
| Yulinji Set Meal | May 26, 2026, 10:00 AM | June 9, 2026 | 70 stores | About 14 days |
Matsuya’s official X account also posted tasting reports for these three items in succession. On launch day, May 26, the ‘Hamburg Steak with Black Carbonara Sauce’ was featured; the following day, the 27th, the ‘Hamburg Steak Set Meal in Rich Umami Stew with Mushroom Duxelles’; and on the 28th, the ‘Yulinji Set Meal’ — each reported as tasted via the official X account. The Yulinji post on the 28th was introduced as the ‘last of the test-sale festival.’ All three items were sold under identical conditions at 70 stores for the same period, a typical short-cycle rotation pattern for store-limited test sales.
Summary of This Store-Limited Lineup Update
| Type | Item | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Store count expansion | Matsu Shake (from 4/21) | 5 stores → 12 stores (+7 stores, 2.4x) |
| Delisted | Hamburg Steak with Black Carbonara Sauce (from 5/26) | 70 stores → ended (about 14 days) |
| Delisted | Mushroom Stew Hamburg Steak (from 5/26) | 70 stores → ended (about 14 days) |
| Delisted | Yulinji Set Meal (from 5/26) | 70 stores → ended (about 14 days) |
The three May 26 test-sale items exited together under the identical condition of ‘70 stores, about 14 days,’ while alongside them, Matsu Shake leveled up from the test-sale tier with its ‘5 → 12 stores’ expansion. This store-limited update saw two opposite movements converge at the same moment: the simultaneous withdrawal of three short-term test-sale items and the expansion of the shake lineup.
Editor's Note
It's interesting how Matsu Shake quietly grew its store count over seven weeks. The way the three May 26 items all disappeared right at the 14-day mark, in perfect sync, is peak Matsuya test-sale behavior.
