Musashino Udon Komugibare: A New Udon Haven Opens
Opening on August 27, 2025, in Kokubunji, Tokyo, Musashino Udon Komugibare introduces a revolutionary all-you-can-eat udon concept under Origin Toshu Co., part of the AEON Group. Starting at just 968 yen (tax included), with half-price for elementary schoolers and free for preschoolers, this restaurant offers incredible value. The star is Musashino udon, known for its thick, chewy texture made from domestic wheat, prepared fresh daily for maximum flavor.
Diners can choose from various styles like dipping broth, hot soup, or kama-tama, paired with an array of self-serve tempura (shrimp, vegetables, and more) and rice dishes like kashiwa rice or customizable ten-don. Desserts like jelly and snacks round out the experience. With a spacious, family-friendly interior featuring counter, table, and tatami seating, Komugibare promises a fun, customizable dining adventure. Follow their social media (@komugibare) for updates and book ahead for the grand opening.
KFC Japan: Moon-Viewing Burgers and the Egg-Centric Revolution
KFC Japan’s Tsukimi (Moon-Viewing) Series returns with a bang, launching the “Humanity’s Eggification Project” on August 27, 2025, nationwide, with a special preview starting August 20 at seven select stores. The star of the show is the Triple Tsukimi Burger, a decadent creation featuring three layers of fluffy omelet-style eggs and 1.5 times the tartar sauce, available only at select locations like Sapporo and Hiroshima until September 2.
The regular Tsukimi lineup includes four items: the Tsukimi Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Burger with Extra Tartar (590 yen), Tsukimi Cheese Fillet Burger (540 yen), Tsukimi Twister (480 yen), and Mochi Custard Tsukimi Pie (300 yen).
