Matsuya Adds "To Be Discontinued Successively" Notice to Set Meal of Pork Steak
At 4:52 PM on May 13, the menu notice for the Set Meal of Pork Steak (980 yen) on Matsuya’s official website was confirmed to have been updated with “*To Be Discontinued Successively.” This follows the discontinuation notice for the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin at 4:17 PM the same day — another thick-cut meat set meal — marking two consecutive notices within a 35-minute span.
| Item | Before | After (This Update) |
|---|---|---|
| Menu Notice | (None) | *To Be Discontinued Successively |
| Price | 980 yen | 980 yen (unchanged) |
| Limited-time Status | Yes | Yes (unchanged) |
The Set Meal of Pork Steak was a limited-time menu item released on April 28, launched as the revival of a popular series that placed third in the Revival Menu General Election. It has now entered the discontinuation notice phase after a sales period of roughly 15 days since release.
Second Consecutive Notice, 35 Minutes After the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin
At 4:17 PM today, the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin (880 yen) had just received the same “*To Be Discontinued Successively” notice. The two items received consecutive discontinuation notices just 35 minutes apart.
| Time | Item | Price |
|---|---|---|
| May 13, 4:17 PM | Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin | 880 yen |
| May 13, 4:52 PM (This Update) | Set Meal of Pork Steak | 980 yen |
Both items are thick-cut pork set meals. The Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin was released on April 21 and the Set Meal of Pork Steak on April 28, entering the discontinuation notice phase back-to-back today after sales periods of roughly 23 and 15 days, respectively.
Discontinuation Notice Timeline Since May 12
Including today’s Set Meal of Pork Steak, a total of three items have now received discontinuation notices in succession through May 13.

Positioning at the Time of Its April 28 Release
At its April 28 release, the official announcement introduced the Set Meal of Pork Steak as “the release of the formidable ‘Set Meal of Pork Steak,’ featuring a starring-role sauce and thick-cut meat,” positioning it as the revival of a popular series that placed third in the Revival Menu General Election.
| Item | Details |

| Product Name | Set Meal of Pork Steak |
| Price | 980 yen (Double 1,470 yen) |
| Release Date | April 28, 2026 |
| Positioning | Revival of a popular series that placed third in the Revival Menu General Election |

Though it launched as the revival of a legacy series, it has entered the discontinuation notice phase after a sales period of roughly 15 days — heading toward discontinuation alongside the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl and the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin, two other thick-cut pork items released around the same time.
Editor's Note
Following today's 4:17 PM notice for the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin, the Set Meal of Pork Steak received its own discontinuation notice 35 minutes later. All three thick-cut pork items released in late April are now heading toward discontinuation within roughly 32 hours of each other.
