Matsuya Foods announced that it will open the Yatsushiro store, a “Matsuya-Matsunoya combined store,” in Kitanomaru-machi, Yatsushiro, Kumamoto at 10:00 on October 15, 2026. The format puts tonkatsu chain Matsunoya and Gyumeshi chain Matsuya under a single roof, and a grand opening SALE will run for 12 days from the opening.

The Grand Opening SALE Runs 12 Days

The period runs from 10:00 on October 15, 2026 to 10:00 on October 27. Four items are covered, three of them from Matsunoya.

Item SALE Price Regular Price
PorkLoinCutlet (Matsunoya) 590 yen 690 yen
PorkLoinCutlet w/ Miso Sauce (Matsunoya) 690 yen 790 yen
PorkLoinCutlet w/ Grated Radish (Matsunoya) 690 yen 790 yen
Gyumeshi w/ Fresh Vegetable Set (Matsuya) 500 yen Not listed on the official website

The regular prices are the figures carried on the official menu, which puts all three Matsunoya items at 100 yen off. The Gyumeshi w/ Fresh Vegetable Set in the lineup comes from the co-located Matsuya side, and the notice pairs it with an image of Gyumeshi.

During the Period, PorkLoinCutlet Drops Below the Set Meal Floor

Of the 22 Matsunoya set meals on the official menu, the lowest regular price is PorkLoinCutlet at 690 yen. The SALE price of 590 yen sits another 100 yen below that, so the Set Meal floor at the Yatsushiro store will be 590 yen during the period. The 690 yen for PorkLoinCutlet w/ Miso Sauce and PorkLoinCutlet w/ Grated Radish matches PorkLoinCutlet, the cheapest item at normal times.

The same 500 yen / 590 yen / 690 yen combination appeared, with the same items, in the notices for the combined store in Saijo, Ehime announced on September 24, 2025, and the combined store in Akita, Akita on October 20 of the same year.

First Combined Store Notice in 210 Days

The last Matsuya-Matsunoya combined store opening announced on the official website was the first store in Shimane on March 18, 2026, making this the first in 210 days. Against 20 such notices in 2025, 2026 has just two, including this Yatsushiro store.

In Kumamoto, the store list shows four Matsunoya locations — Kumamoto Shinshigai, Kumamoto Nagamine-minami, Kumamoto Sakuragi and Kumamoto Hikarinomori — and Yatsushiro follows them. Yatsushiro will be the only Matsunoya listed in the city of Yatsushiro.

As of late September, the store list carried the note “Opens October 15, 10:00” attached to the store name.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

So there are self-checkout registers on top of the ticket machines. Four terminals, and no clue which one to walk up to.
