Matsuya's Store-Limited 'New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables' Delisted After 28 Days
At 12:25 PM on May 5, ‘New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables’ was removed from Matsuya’s official store-limited menu data. The delisting comes after 28 days of activity since its addition on April 7, arriving just 10 minutes after two entries — Hiyajiru and Yatarazuke Beef Bowl / Yatarazuke Hamburg Steak Set Meal — were added to the store-limited menu at 12:15 PM the same day.

The last of four items added together on April 7 exits
New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables was the last survivor of four store-limited menu items added together on April 7. The other three exited together on April 15, just 8 days after their debut, while New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables alone lived on. Today, May 5, the April 7 lineup is finally fully cleared out — 20 days behind its former groupmates.
| Menu item | Date added | Date removed | Time on menu |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marry Me Chicken Set Meal | April 7, 2026 | April 15, 2026 | Approx. 8 days |
| Diavola-style Grilled Chicken | April 7, 2026 | April 15, 2026 | Approx. 8 days |
| Pork Kimchi Set Meal | April 7, 2026 | April 15, 2026 | Approx. 8 days |
| New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables (this removal) | April 7, 2026 | May 5, 2026 | Approx. 28 days |
When the other three items exited together on April 15, Gyumesy noted in its article “Matsuya Delists 3 Store-Limited Items Including ‘Marry Me Chicken Set Meal’ — Gone Just 8 Days After Debut” that New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables was still on the menu. Today, that item has also exited, bringing the story of the April 7 foursome to a close.
Nearly simultaneous with today’s 12:15 PM addition of Hiyajiru and Yatarazuke items
At 12:15 PM today, two new entries — ‘Hiyajiru’ and ‘Yatarazuke Beef Bowl / Yatarazuke Hamburg Steak Set Meal’ — had just been added to the store-limited menu, and 10 minutes later New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables was removed. The timing, with an existing item exiting right as new ones are added, points to a typical rotation-style operation.
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| May 5, 12:15 PM | Hiyajiru and Yatarazuke Beef Bowl / Yatarazuke Hamburg Steak Set Meal added (70 stores) |
| May 5, 12:25 PM (this update) | New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables removed |
Store-limited menu items currently active
As of 12:25 PM today, the following items are registered on the store-limited menu list.

Where a 28-day run stands among recent store-limited items
Comparing recent store-limited menu run lengths, New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables’ 28 days lands in the mid-range.
| Menu item | Time on menu |
|---|---|
| Soy Milk Pudding | Approx. 17 days (March 17 – April 3, 2026) |
| The 5 items added March 24, including Poke Bowl and Kinugasa-don | Approx. 6 days (March 24 – March 30, 2026) |
| Marry Me Chicken Set Meal, Diavola-style Grilled Chicken, Pork Kimchi Set Meal | Approx. 8 days (April 7 – April 15, 2026) |
| New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables (this item) | Approx. 28 days (April 7 – May 5, 2026) |
Amid a run of short-lived items lasting 6 to 17 days, New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables’ 28 days is a comparatively long stretch for a store-limited item. Store data alone can’t confirm why it alone survived 20 days longer than its three groupmates, but as a soup dish, it may simply have been managed in a separate category from the other main-dish items.
Editor's Note
New Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables debuted on the store-limited menu on April 7 as part of a four-member group. Its three 'classmates' all graduated together on April 15, but this one alone survived — as if it had passed a 20-day makeup exam. Today it finally graduated too, and with real drama: exiting just 10 minutes after the 'entrance ceremony' for the new Hiyajiru and Yatarazuke additions.
