Real Photo Appears on Product Page for Matsuya's Store-Limited "Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice"
Real photos of the actual dish have been added to the product page for Matsuya’s store-limited menu item “Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice” on the official Matsuya website. When the page first went live, no photo had been prepared, and a placeholder image reading “NO IMAGE” inside a blue frame was displayed instead; as of August 5, however, it has been replaced with a real photo of the dish. Priced at 1,070 yen, this is one of the higher-priced items among Matsuya’s six curry and rice dishes.
Product Page Switches from “NO IMAGE” to a Real Photo
Before the switch, the page displayed a placeholder image: a white background with a thin blue border and the words “NO IMAGE” written in blue at the center. This has now been replaced with a photo of the actual dish.
The newly posted photo shows a white oval plate with brown curry roux, topped with a golden-fried loin cutlet cut into about five slices. Fukujinzuke (pickled vegetable relish) is placed on top of the rice, and a black bowl of miso soup with ingredients sits beside the plate. The full presentation, which could not be confirmed from the placeholder image, is now visible thanks to the photo.
The product page’s URL was also updated at this time, and the item continues to be listed as a store-limited menu offering.
Second-Highest Price Among the Six Curry Dishes
At 1,070 yen, the “Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice” is the second most expensive of the six curry and rice dishes currently offered at Matsuya. The most expensive is the limited-time “Matsuya Original Sauce Roast Beef Founding Beef Curry and Rice” at 1,380 yen, a difference of 310 yen. It is priced just 120 yen above the third-place “Founding Beef Karegyu” (950 yen).
| Menu | Price |
|---|---|
| Matsuya Original Sauce Roast Beef Founding Beef Curry and Rice (Limited-time) | 1,380 yen |
| Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice (Store-limited) | 1,070 yen |
| Founding Beef Karegyu | 950 yen |
| Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 890 yen |
| Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 880 yen |

Among the six dishes, the “Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice” is the only one treated as store-limited, meaning it is available only at a limited number of locations. Looking purely at price, without regard to category, 1,070 yen places it just below flagship-level items such as the “Matsuya Original Sauce Roast Beef Beef Bowl” (1,150 yen) and the “Hamburg Steak with Brown Sauce and Fresh Vegetable Salad Set” (1,140 yen).
