Bringing Authentic Hakata Flavor to the Nation

With the sincere desire to share the authentic taste loved in Hakata with people across Japan, the restaurant brings its meticulously refined flavors from Fukuoka to Shinjuku, Japan's largest entertainment district where people from around the world gather.

Maedaya's Uncompromising Commitment

The Shinjuku East Exit store will serve the same authentic taste as the Fukuoka locations, with uncompromising standards in ingredient selection and cooking processes. Additionally, the restaurant will offer Tokyo-exclusive dishes and drinks, further evolving the concept.

A Restaurant Trusted by Celebrities

In addition to its exceptional taste, the restaurant has earned the trust of many sports figures, entertainers, and artists thanks to its attentive hospitality and lively atmosphere.

Premium Ingredient Selection: Wagyu Commitment

Only the finest domestic wagyu small intestines, carefully selected by professional buyers, are used. These feature large, plump pieces with a distinctive texture and melt-in-your-mouth sweet fat.

Soup

To maximize the flavor of the offal, several types of miso are blended to create the signature "miso flavor," while the "soy sauce flavor" highlights the quality of the ingredients. The craftsmen have created soups so delicious that customers want to drink every last drop, perfected through countless trials.

Freshness and Technique

The combination of thorough management that maintains ingredient freshness and the expertise of the head chef, who trained for 17 years at a certain sushi restaurant, creates a deep flavor that makes you want to savor every last drop.

Hospitality

The reason Maedaya has earned strong trust from celebrities lies in its hospitality. The restaurant provides top-tier customer service that caters to each guest individually. Staff carefully monitor the hot pot to ensure it reaches its perfect state, promising a high-quality, comfortable experience that helps guests forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
