Japan opens low‑cost meat skewer shop in Matsuyama and new ramen shop in Okayama

A new eatery called ホルモン焼きうますぎ opened on July 3, 2026 in Matsuyama, Ehime. The shop offers meat‑skewer sets priced at ¥100 per stick, with a simple choices of liver, off‑al, fat and chicken skin, plus ¥100 vegetables. It mirrors the style of Osaka’s popular ホルモンやまき, featuring a live‑grill counter, free‑refill rice and a special garlic‑spice dipping sauce. The venue includes a counter, a low‑table seating area, and limited parking for two cars.

In Okayama, the former Yakiniku ホルモン まんぷく岡山平和町店 site is being converted into a ramen shop named だいちゃんラーメン. Signage already displays menu items such as 中華そば, つけ中華 and 油そば, and a job‑posting flyer indicates the shop will open soon, though an exact date has not been announced. The location sits on 西川緑道公園筋 near the 野殿橋 deck stage and the 後楽ホテル, adding another venue to the city’s competitive ramen scene.
