Genmai Shokudo Aen, a restaurant specializing in carefully prepared brown rice set meals, is opening its first branch outside the Tokyo metropolitan area at Asty Shizuoka on July 16, 2026. Operated by Mos Food Services, this new location brings healthy and balanced Japanese dining to the busy JR Shizuoka Station concourse.
Shizuoka Station serves about 100,000 passengers daily, including travelers, commuters, and families, making it an ideal spot for a convenient and wholesome dining experience. Asty Shizuoka, a bustling commercial facility connected directly to the station, already hosts Mos Food Services’ cafe “Yama to Umi to Taiyo.” The addition of Genmai Shokudo Aen offers visitors and locals alike a chance to enjoy nutritious brown rice meals featuring local ingredients in a comfortable setting.
About Genmai Shokudo Aen
Genmai Shokudo Aen focuses on offering “Japan’s delicacies” in an accessible way, emphasizing brown rice blended with white rice (20% white rice to 80% Koshihikari brown rice from Chiba) to create a fluffy and flavorful “Nihachi Genmai” blend. The menu includes balanced dishes featuring meat, fish, vegetables, and side dishes inspired by the blessings of Japan’s satoyama countryside. The name “Aen” comes from “zinc,” a mineral important for skin renewal, bone growth, and proper taste function.
Since its first store opened in 2015 at Omiya Station in Tokyo, Genmai Shokudo Aen has expanded to several locations within the Tokyo area. The Asty Shizuoka store marks the brand’s debut outside the capital region, offering exclusive menu items that highlight local Shizuoka ingredients.
