The price of Matsuya’s limited-time “Pork & Kimchi Set Meal,” which launched on August 25, was revised on August 29. The Only option (the main dish alone) went from 650 yen to 690 yen, and the Double, with extra meat, went from 1,340 yen to 1,380 yen, each up by 40 yen. The Regular Serving (set meal) with rice, fresh vegetable salad, and miso soup stays at 890 yen. The price revision comes just 4 days after launch.

Only and Double Each Up 40 Yen, Regular Serving Unchanged

Two of the three sizes were revised: Only and Double. The Regular Serving (set meal), the base size, did not move from 890 yen.

Size	Before	After	Calories
Only (main dish alone)	650 yen	690 yen	411kcal
Regular Serving (set meal)	890 yen	890 yen (unchanged)	815kcal
Double	1,340 yen	1,380 yen	1,225kcal

Matsuya’s set meals come in three basic sizes: Only is the main dish by itself without rice or fresh vegetable salad, Regular Serving is a set meal with rice, fresh vegetable salad, and miso soup, and Double has extra meat. This time, both ends of the range, the Only option without rice and the Double with extra meat, went up together, while only the Regular Serving, the base price of the set meal, stayed put.

Prices Now Match the Launch Announcement

The Pork & Kimchi Set Meal was announced ahead of launch in an official notice dated August 20. That announcement listed the Only option at 690 yen and the Double Pork & Kimchi Set Meal at 1,380 yen. The prices posted on the menu page at the August 25 launch (Only 650 yen, Double 1,340 yen) were 40 yen lower than the announced prices for both Only and Double.

With this revision, the Only and Double prices on the menu page now match those given at the time of the launch announcement. The Regular Serving price of 890 yen has not changed across the announcement, the launch, and now.

All 3 Sizes Now Match the Boneless Short Rib and Yakiniku Beef Set Meals

After the revision, the Pork & Kimchi Set Meal is 690 yen for Only, 890 yen for Regular Serving, and 1,380 yen for Double. Among current set meals, the Set Meal of Grilled Boneless Short Rib and the Set Meal of Grilled Beef are exactly the same in all three sizes, so this revision puts the Pork & Kimchi Set Meal on equal footing with those two. At launch, Only and Double were 40 yen cheaper than those two items, and this 40-yen increase closes that gap.

The Regular Serving price of 890 yen sits in the middle of the set meal lineup. The cheaper Regular Servings are the Yakiniku Pork Loin Set Meal at 790 yen, the Seared Grilled Salmon Set Meal at 800 yen, and the Stir-fried Pork with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal at 850 yen, while the Chicken Nanban Set Meal at 980 yen comes just above.

App-Exclusive 70-Yen-Off Coupon Available Through September 1

Even as the price went up, the official Matsuya app is distributing a 70-yen-off coupon for the Pork & Kimchi Set Meal through September 1. Using this coupon brings the 890-yen Regular Serving down to an effective 820 yen.

The Pork & Kimchi Set Meal is a limited-time menu item built around kimchi that Matsuya has officially said is made in-house at its Mt. Fuji Factory. A price move just days after launch is a notable adjustment for a limited-time product.
