Musashino Udon Komugibare to Open Its First Shopping Mall Location at Aeon Mall Yono on May 20

Origin Toshu Co., Ltd., an Aeon Group company that operates brands including the bento and deli specialty store Kitchen Origin and the Chinese diner Renge Shokudo Toshu, will open the third location of its new format, Musashino Udon Komugibare, at Aeon Mall Yono on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Since the first Komugibare store opened in Kokubunji Namikicho in August 2025, the brand has drawn attention on social media and in the press. Following the second store in Misato Takano, the third location will now open at Aeon Mall Yono. Unlike the previous roadside locations, this marks the brand’s long-awaited first entry into a shopping mall. The biggest feature is an overwhelmingly filling dining experience that challenges conventional ideas about udon. By ordering just one main bowl of udon, customers can enjoy unlimited refills of noodles, tempura, and rice dishes in a buffet-style format. After shopping or spending time out at the spacious mall, families can gather around the table for a satisfying meal. The restaurant aims to serve a wide range of guests, from businesspeople looking for a hearty lunch to families with children excited by tempura and curry, offering a place where everyone can freely choose what they like and leave smiling. The store’s commitments include freshly made in-house noodles prepared daily and served fresh-boiled, bringing out the firm texture and rich aroma of Musashino udon made with wheat. A dedicated counter offers a wide variety of tempura that pairs well with udon, allowing customers to take as much as they like, place it on rice bowls, or dip it into udon broth. Rice dishes are another highlight, including the restaurant’s signature kashiwa rice infused with the flavor of broth and curry that is popular with children. To address concerns from parents who want to eat out but worry about children’s meals, the restaurant offers three family-friendly points of reassurance. Preschool children can enjoy the unlimited udon, tempura, and rice dishes for free, while elementary school children dine at half price. The restaurant is designed with wide aisles that make it easy to enter with strollers, and it provides children’s chairs and tableware. Baby food is also available for guests with small children. Baby food is not included in the all-you-can-eat menu and can be ordered separately from the tablet at the table. The store is named Musashino Udon Komugibare Aeon Mall Yono. It is located at 5-2-9 Honmachinishi, Chuo-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture. The phone number is 048-711-2118. Business hours are 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with last orders at 9:00 p.m. The store has irregular holidays. It has 86 seats, including 48 table seats, 30 raised-floor seats, and 8 counter seats. By car, it is about four minutes from the Yono exit on the Shuto Expressway Saitama Omiya Route. By public transport, customers can take an International Kogyo bus from the west exit of Kita-Yono Station on the JR Saikyo Line and get off at Aeon Mall Yono in about seven minutes; take a Seibu bus from bus stop No. 3 at the west exit of Omiya Station and arrive in about 15 to 20 minutes; or take an International Kogyo bus from the west exit of Saitama-Shintoshin Station and arrive in about five minutes. The brand’s greatest appeal is its high-value all-you-can-eat style. Ordering an udon menu item allows customers to freely refill noodles, including noodles only, kake udon, and bukkake udon. Product content and prices may vary by store. In addition to tempura and rice dishes, customers can also enjoy all-you-can-eat items such as udon flour sweets to finish the meal. Assortments may vary by day, and some items are limited in quantity. Musashino Udon Komugibare is an udon restaurant that combines Musashino udon made with carefully selected domestic wheat with an all-you-can-eat selection of tempura and rice. Musashino udon is thicker than ordinary udon and is known for its strong firmness and chewy texture. By making noodles in-store every day and serving them freshly made and freshly boiled, the restaurant maximizes the natural aroma and texture of wheat. The restaurant offers several ways to enjoy the noodles, including a dipping style in which noodles are dipped into broth-rich sauce. Customers can also freely combine a wide range of tempura, placing it on udon or pairing it with rice to create their own tempura bowl set. Under the concept of “the blessings of the earth, to your heart’s content,” the brand delivers a new udon experience focused on ingredients, preparation, and freedom of choice.
