OHMATSUYA

Matsuya (main store) is located at 1-13 Kandasudacho 101-0041, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The hand-made soba noodles are freshly made, with a hint of wheat flavor. They are smooth and refreshing when eaten cold. You can even eat two plates at a time. It is also very good to eat hot with soup. The kelp and bonito soup is very sweet.

It is slightly different from Yoshinoya in China, but the taste is better than that in China. It is a relatively affordable store in Japan, and many locals eat here. It is a self-service ordering store, but the quantity is relatively small.

Matsuya is a typical Japanese fast food restaurant with high cost performance and many choices. From set meals to udon to hot pot, it has everything. It saves time and effort. A meal costs less than 1,000 yuan. It is especially suitable for white-collar workers. The set meal includes rice, miso soup and salad.

You can get coupons using Ctrip, ICBC, CMB cards, or your passport. The environment is nice, but there's usually a queue on weekend lunchtimes, and the wait can be quite long, so making a reservation in advance is better. The ingredients are very fresh, and the taste is okay. The service is very friendly.

I went to Matsuya for a quick and satisfying meal—JJ's favorite! It's a shame I only had it once in Japan; I thought I could have it again at the airport on my last day. This is a small regret.
