Matsunoya Uji Niban Opens at 10:00 on October 10, 2026, as Announced

StoresUpdated

The note indicating a scheduled opening has been removed from the listing for Matsunoya Uji Niban (96-1 Uji Niban, Uji, Kyoto). The “*Opening at 10:00 on October 10” that had been appended to the store name is gone, and the scheduled opening date field is now empty. The store therefore opened at the date and time announced.

Changes to the Listing

Field Before After
Listed store name Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya) *Opening at 10:00 on October 10 Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya)
Scheduled opening date October 10, 2026, 10:00 (empty)

The listed store name is “Matsunoya Uji Niban (co-located with Matsuya),” a store sharing its site with a Matsuya. Business hours are listed as “open 24 hours.”

The store first appeared on September 25, 2026 with the note “*Opening at 10:00 on October 10,” and no later listing rewrote the scheduled opening date. The Okinawa Hiyagon store, which was due to open around the same time, slipped 14 days from its original September 18, 2026 to October 2, 2026; Uji Niban, by contrast, reached its date without any change.

Two Stores in Uji, While Co-located Stores Are a Minority in Kyoto

Two Matsunoya stores are listed in Uji: Uji Niban and “Matsunoya Uji Ogura (co-located with Matsuya).” Both are co-located with Matsuya, and no standalone Matsunoya is listed in the city.

Kyoto has 10 listed stores in all: 4 co-located with Matsuya, 6 standalone Matsunoya, and none co-located with Mycurry Shokudo. Nationwide, the breakdown of 687 stores (488 co-located with Matsuya, 76 co-located with Mycurry Shokudo, 123 standalone) puts co-located stores at 70 percent, but in Kyoto the standalone stores outnumber them. Uji Niban belongs to the co-located type that is in the minority within the prefecture.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Hmph. Kyoto is mostly Matsunoya standing alone, yet both Uji stores sit beside a Matsuya. No choosing in Uji.
