New Brand Launch: Sakai Coffee Express
Sakai Coffee, a well-regarded cafe chain operated by J.ART Co., Ltd. based in Gifu, Japan, is thrilled to announce the launch of their new brand,
Sakai Coffee Express, which is set to open its doors on
July 18, 2025, at the
JR Matsuyama Station. This will be the first Sakai Coffee location situated within a train station, marking a significant milestone for the brand. The new outlet aims to cater not only to local commuters and students but also to travelers visiting Matsuyama, providing a convenient spot for a quick coffee fix or a bite to eat.
A Blend of Speed and Quality
The
Sakai Coffee Express at JR Matsuyama Station is strategically located within the
Dandan-dori, a commercial area directly accessible from the station's ticket gates. This development is part of the station's redevelopment strategy, designed to showcase the unique charm of the Matsuyama region. The new brand focuses on offering swift service without compromising on the quality that Sakai Coffee is known for, featuring an array of quick-to-serve menu items.
Chief among these offerings is the
French Pancake, which promises to deliver a delightful culinary experience. The menu also includes a range of food and drinks that can be prepared and served quickly, ensuring that customers can enjoy their meals during their busy travels. The aim is to create a comforting dining environment that keeps pace with the hustle and bustle of the station.
Local Delicacies on Offer
In addition to the standard menu, Sakai Coffee Express will feature
region-exclusive items. For instance, travelers can indulge in the
“Jako Katsu Burger” and
“Tai Dashi Chazuke,” both of which highlight local Matsuyama ingredients, ensuring that visitors get a taste of the region’s culinary offerings. Moreover, the shop will sell a
do-it-yourself (DIY) baked treat inspired by the local mascot,
Mikyan – the
Baby Castella – available exclusively for takeout.
The Essence of Matsuyama
Matsuyama City, located in the heart of Ehime Prefecture, is steeped in history and cultural significance. Since its designation as a city in
1889, it has grown into an economic and cultural hub. It is famously home to
Dogo Onsen, believed to be Japan's oldest hot spring, and
Matsuyama Castle, one of the nation's twelve remaining original castles. The city also celebrates its literary heritage, highlighted by landmarks such as the
Shiki Memorial Museum honoring the renowned poet, Masaoka Shiki.
