Matsuya Shifts Four Chimichurri Thick-Cut Pork Items to Limited-Time Category at 10:08

In Matsuya’s official menu data, the four thick-cut pork items added at 9:39 AM today have been confirmed as shifted to the limited-time category as of 10:08 AM on May 19, 2026. At the same time, the removal of the current ‘Pork Steak Set Meal’ (released April 28, 980 yen) has also been reflected, indicating that the menu data was restructured immediately after the official 10:00 AM launch.

Four Items Shifted to the Limited-Time Category

Menu Item	Price (tax included)	As of 9:39	As of 10:08 (this update)
Set Meal of Grilled Thick Pork with Chimichurri Sauce	1,280 yen	Regular category	Limited-time category
Grilled Thick Pork with Chimichurri Sauce	1,180 yen	Regular category	Limited-time category
Set Meal of Thick Pork Steak	1,180 yen	Regular category	Limited-time category
Set Meal of Grilled Thick Pork Loin	980 yen	Regular category	Limited-time category

When these items were first added to the menu data at 9:39 AM, they were listed under the regular category rather than the limited-time category, but as of 10:08 AM all four had switched to the limited-time listing. The shift to limited-time status was reflected right after the new items’ official 10:00 AM launch.

The Current ‘Pork Steak Set Meal’ (Released April 28, 980 Yen) That Was Removed

Item	Details
Menu Item	Pork Steak Set Meal
Price	980 yen
Release Date	April 28, 2026
Discontinuation Notice	May 13, 2026, 16:52 — menu note “※To Be Discontinued Successively” added
Removal Date/Time	May 19, 2026, 10:08 (this update)
Sales Period	Approximately 21 days

The ‘Pork Steak Set Meal’ (980 yen), released on April 28, has effectively been succeeded by the newly added ‘Set Meal of Thick Pork Steak’ (1,180 yen), a rebrand accompanied by a 200-yen price increase. It disappeared after a sales period of roughly 21 days. With this, both of the April-launched thick-cut pork items — the ‘Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin’ (removed at 9:39 on May 19) and the ‘Pork Steak Set Meal’ (removed at 10:08 today) — have been dropped from the active lineup in a pair of removals this morning.

Same Pattern as the May 12 Butter Chicken Curry and Rice Launch

Today’s changes to Matsuya’s menu data on May 19 follow the same procedure as the May 12 launch of Butter Chicken Curry and Rice.

Time	May 12 (Butter Chicken Launch Day)	May 19 (Chimichurri Thick-Cut Pork Launch Day, Today)
9 AM hour	9:38 — Butter Chicken Curry and Rice and Cream Butter Curry and Rice added (regular category) + discontinuation notice added to Salt-based Green Onion Bowl	9:24 — Seasoned Ground Chicken & Egg Bowl and Salt-based Green Onion Bowl removed / 9:39 — four Chimichurri thick-cut pork items added (regular category) + current Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin and Tokuasa Seasoned Ground Chicken & Egg Bowl removed
10 AM hour	10:00 — official launch / 10:08 — the two Butter Chicken items shifted to the limited-time category + discontinuation of Gorochiki reflected	10:00 — official launch / 10:08 (this update) — four thick-cut pork items shifted to the limited-time category + current Pork Steak Set Meal removed

The two-step procedure — “add under the regular category just before launch, then shift to the limited-time category at 10:08, right after launch” — appears to have become the standard operating pattern for Matsuya’s menu data on new-menu launch days. This time, too, the shift to the limited-time category was reflected roughly eight minutes later.

All Three Thick-Cut Pork Items Released on April 21 and 28 Have Now Been Succeeded

The three thick-cut pork items launched in April — the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl, the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin, and the Pork Steak Set Meal — were all removed and fully replaced by the new lineup in today’s May 19 changes.

Former Item	Former Release Date	Former Price	Discontinuation Notice	Removal Date/Time	New Lineup
Salt-based Green Onion Bowl	April 21, 2026	730 yen (Regular Serving)	May 12, 2026, 9:38	May 19, 2026, 9:24	No successor
Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin	April 21, 2026	880 yen	May 13, 2026, 16:17	May 19, 2026, 9:39	Set Meal of Grilled Thick Pork Loin, 980 yen
Pork Steak Set Meal	April 28, 2026	980 yen	May 13, 2026, 16:52	May 19, 2026, 10:08 (this update)	Set Meal of Thick Pork Steak, 1,180 yen

Of the three thick-cut pork items launched in April, the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl ended completely with no successor, while the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin and the Pork Steak Set Meal were rebranded and succeeded by a new lineup carrying the “Thick” label, with price increases of 100 to 200 yen.
