Matsuya to Relaunch Curry 50-Point Boost Campaign from May 12–18
On May 11, Matsuya announced it will hold its app-exclusive “Curry Menu Point Boost Campaign” for seven days, from 0:00 on Tuesday, May 12 to 23:59 on Monday, May 18. Ordering an eligible curry menu item via Matsuben Net or Matsuya Mobile Order earns an additional 50 Matsuya Points (worth 50 yen).
The 8 Eligible Items and 50-Point Rebate Rates
The lineup covers 8 items in total: 5 staple items centered on “Founding Beef Curry and Rice,” the “Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice” available only at Matsunoya co-located stores, and the Batachiki and Cream Butter Curry and Rice items launching at 10:00 on May 12. All sizes are eligible, but Only menu items and Matsuben Delivery orders are excluded.
Here are the 7 items with published pricing, listed at their Regular Serving price.
| Menu Item | Regular Serving Price (tax included) | 50-Point Rebate Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Cream Butter Curry and Rice (launching 10:00 on 5/12) | 730 yen | approx. 6.85% |
| Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 780 yen | approx. 6.41% |
| Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 980 yen | approx. 5.10% |
| Butter Chicken Curry and Rice (launching 10:00 on 5/12) | 980 yen | approx. 5.10% |
| Founding Beef Karegyu | 1,050 yen | approx. 4.76% |
| Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 1,150 yen | approx. 4.35% |
| Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice | 1,280 yen | approx. 3.91% |
The highest rebate rate belongs to “Cream Butter Curry and Rice” (730 yen) at approximately 6.85%, making it the most efficient way to grab the 50 points. Various Curry Lunch Sets are also included in the point-earning eligibility. The remaining item, “Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice,” is a set meal item sold separately, available only at Matsunoya co-located stores.
Batachiki and Cream Butter Eligible From Day One, Gorochiki Excluded Upon Discontinuation
May 12, the campaign’s start date, is also a day of major turnover within Matsuya’s curry category.
| Change at 10:00 on May 12 | Details |
|---|---|
| “Butter Chicken Curry and Rice” launches | Returning for the first time in about 20 months, eligible for the point boost from day one |
| “Cream Butter Curry and Rice” launches | A more affordable line alongside Batachiki, eligible for the point boost from day one |
| “Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry and Rice” discontinued | Eligible for points until discontinuation (ends at 10:00 on 5/12) |
The official announcement notes, “‘Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry and Rice’ will be discontinued at 10:00 on Tuesday, May 12. It remains eligible for points until discontinuation.” This means that for a brief 10-hour window from 0:00 to 10:00 on May 12, all three curries—Gorochiki plus Batachiki and Cream Butter—overlap as eligible items simultaneously. The Point Boost Campaign effectively bridges the launch of Batachiki and Cream Butter with the discontinuation of Gorochiki.
Relaunched From the Previous Run (4/14–4/27)
The Curry Menu Point Boost Campaign previously ran for 14 days from April 14 to April 27, so this marks a relaunch about two weeks later. The eligible items and duration have changed as follows.
| Item | Previous (4/14–4/27) | This Time (5/12–5/18) |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 14 days | 7 days (half) |
| Number of Eligible Items | 6 items | 8 items |
| Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry and Rice | Eligible (relaunched same day) | Not eligible (discontinued 10:00 on 5/12) |
| Butter Chicken Curry and Rice | N/A (not yet released) | Eligible (launches 10:00 on 5/12) |
| Cream Butter Curry and Rice | N/A (not yet released) | Eligible (launches 10:00 on 5/12) |
| Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice | Not eligible | Eligible (Matsunoya co-located stores only) |
While the duration has been halved to 7 days, the number of eligible items has grown by two to 8. Following the previous “bowls to curry” baton pass, this relaunch is tied to an internal curry lineup swap—from Gorochiki to Batachiki and Cream Butter.
