The Story of Miyamoto Munashi
Founded in 1989 in Osaka, Miyamoto Munashi revolutionized the concept of affordable teishoku. The name "むなし" (munashi) means "empty" or "futile," an ironic reference to the idea that even on a tight budget, you can eat with dignity.
The chain's philosophy rests on three pillars: maximum volume,minimum price, and consistent quality. This approach won over workers, students, and families in Osaka before expanding throughout Kansai.
Unique Concept
Miyamoto Munashi defies conventions by offering complete teishoku meals for under 500¥, a feat in a market where quality often means high prices.
