Dream Foods Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture / President and CEO: Eishu Yamamoto), which promotes the slogan 'Crispy and Authentic. Tempura Rice Bowl with Large Shrimp and 100% Buckwheat Noodles,' is pleased to announce the grand opening of 'Tempura Rice Bowl with Large Shrimp and 100% Buckwheat Noodles Konkian Matsubara Store' on Thursday, June 18, 2026.

With this opening, Konkian will expand to its fourth location.

Additionally, a pre-opening event will be held on Wednesday, June 17.

The long-beloved 'Kinkian' is reopening with a new brand identity!

Previously, 'Kinkian' has been cherished by local customers for its Omi soba. In this rebranding, while preserving its strengths in 'dashi broth' and 'soba,' the store introduces 'tempura rice bowls' as a core offering, evolving into a more accessible and enjoyable dining format.

'Konkian' combines freshly fried tempura rice bowls with handcrafted 100% buckwheat soba, creating a brand that balances satisfaction with everyday convenience. Building on the strengths of the original brand, it aims to serve a broader range of customers.

Through this rebranding at the Matsubara location, the store will continue to support local daily life by offering a 'quick yet authentic dining experience,' further enhancing its value.
