The Discontinued Item

It has been confirmed that ‘Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only ’ was removed from Matsuya’s Lunch Choice of Side lineup on June 23, 2026. It was the only soup among the Lunch Choice of Side options, and its final price was 120 yen. No replacement item was added at the same time — this was a standalone discontinuation.

‘Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only ’ was an item offered within the Lunch set’s ‘Choice of Side’ slot, under the Lunch category. Its final price was 120 yen. Among the Choice of Side lineup, which included eggs and fresh vegetables, this was the only warm soup option.

Sales Period and Price Changes

Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only joined the Lunch Choice of Side lineup on April 7, 2026, initially priced at 140 yen. About a month later, on May 12, it was cut from 140 yen to 120 yen, and roughly a month and a half after that, on June 23, it was discontinued. From debut to discontinuation was about two and a half months, with the discontinuation coming roughly a month and a half after the price cut.

An Exit After Surviving the April 28 Choice of Side Cutback

The Lunch Choice of Side lineup underwent a major restructuring on April 28, shrinking from 10 options down to 4. At that time, Pickled Vegetables, Coca-Cola, Chilled Tofu with Ginger and Green Onion, Grated Domestic Yam Paste, Mt. Fuji Kimchi, and Potato Salad & Fresh Vegetables all disappeared at once, but Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only was one of the four items that survived. This time, that same item was discontinued on its own, further narrowing the lineup roughly two months after the April 28 cutback.

The Remaining Lunch Choice of Side Lineup: Two Egg Options and Fresh Vegetables

With this discontinuation, the Lunch Choice of Side lineup is now down to three options: Soft-boiled Egg , Raw Egg , and Fresh Vegetable Salad (50 yen). The lineup now consists of eggs and fresh vegetables, with no warm soup option remaining. Separately, when Lunch was split into Beef Bowl Lunch and Curry and Rice Lunch on May 12, a Choice of Side lineup (Coca-Cola, Soft-boiled Egg, Fresh Vegetable Salad) was also set up for the Curry and Rice Lunch side, but it likewise includes no soup option.

Editor's Note

Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only was a way to add a warm bowl of soup to lunch. Its exit just after dropping to 120 yen feels a little sad.
