Matsuya Adds "To Be Discontinued Successively" Notice to Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin
At 16:17 on May 13, a note reading “※To Be Discontinued Successively” was confirmed to have been added to the menu note for the “Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin” (880 yen) in Matsuya’s official website menu data. This product was launched on April 21 as a new menu item featuring thick-cut pork loin, making this a Discontinuation Notice roughly 23 days after launch.
| Item | Before | After (This Update) |

| Price | 880 yen | 880 yen (unchanged) |
Discontinuation Notice Follows That of Paired Product Salt-based Green Onion Bowl
The “Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin” was launched on April 21 together with the “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” as a pair of thick-cut pork loin products. The Salt-based Green Onion Bowl received a Discontinuation Notice on official X on May 8, followed by the “To Be Discontinued Successively” menu note added on May 12; today’s note for the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin marks the second instance in the same sequence.
| Product | Launch Date | Discontinuation Notice (Menu Note Added) | Days Since Launch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salt-based Green Onion Bowl | April 21, 2026 | May 12, 2026, 9:38 | Approx. 22 days |
| Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin (This Update) | April 21, 2026 | May 13, 2026, 16:17 | Approx. 23 days |
The two thick-cut pork loin products launched together on April 21 are now, in mid-May, receiving their Discontinuation Notices together as well. The gap between the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl’s note and today’s Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin note came to roughly a day and six hours.
Positioning at the Time of the April 21 Launch Announcement
At the launch of both products on April 21, the official announcement was titled “Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin with 120g of Thick-Cut Meat Launches April 21 — Salt-based Green Onion Bowl Also Upgraded to Thick-Cut,” positioning the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin as the lead product and the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl as a concurrent offering.
| Product | Positioning at Launch | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin | New menu item (lead product) | 880 yen |
| Salt-based Green Onion Bowl | Thick-cut upgrade of the existing Salt-based Green Onion Bowl | 730 yen (Regular Serving) |
Both products shared thick-cut pork loin as a common element, offered in two styles: a set meal version and a bowl version. The fact that they were launched together and are now receiving Discontinuation Notices together suggests the two products were operated as two variations of a single product plan.
Part of the Menu Reorganization Underway Since May 12
Today’s Discontinuation Notice for the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin is part of the menu reorganization at Matsuya that has been underway since yesterday, May 12.
| Date/Time | Development |
|---|---|
| May 12, 9:38 | “To Be Discontinued Successively” added to Salt-based Green Onion Bowl |
| May 12, 10:00 | Butter Chicken Curry and Rice, Cream Butter Curry and Rice launched |
| May 12, 10:08 | Gorochiki delisted |
| May 12, 10:23 | Lunch category split into Beef Bowl and Curry and Rice |
| May 12, 15:50 | 5 Curry Lunch Sets and 3 side items added |
| May 13, 16:17 (This Update) | “To Be Discontinued Successively” added to Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin |
Separately from the curry-focused reorganization that began at 10:00 on May 12, a parallel trend is underway in which the two thick-cut pork loin products — the set meal and the bowl — are exiting together in mid-May.
Editor's Note
About 32 hours after the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl's Discontinuation Notice on May 12, its April 21 launch partner, the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin, has received one too — the two thick-cut pork loin products are now heading for exit together.
