Announcement of Nominated Products
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Matsuya Ginza, a special voting campaign was launched in March of this year, receiving an impressive total of approximately 3,900 votes. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your participation. Following a strict screening process, nominated products reflecting the voices of both our customers and sales floor crew have been selected. Across all five categories, 10 items were nominated by customers and another 10 by the crew, for a total of 100 products. From among these, the prestigious “Matsuya Ginza Grand Prix” for each category will be decided. We hope you look forward to seeing which products, perhaps even the ones that touched your heart, will be honored.
