Matsuya's Official X Tries the Stir-fried with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal with a Mayo Twist
On the night of July 15, 2026, Matsuya’s official X account (@matsuya_foods) posted photos reporting that it had ordered the Stir-fried with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal using the discount card “MATSUYA PASS.” The set meal had only just returned to the regular menu on July 7, making this a taste report roughly a week after its comeback.
A “Mellow” Twist with the Included Mayonnaise — What’s on the Plate
In the post, the official account described the flavor as “punchy with ginger and garlic, the kind that keeps you reaching for more rice,” and went on to introduce a way of eating it: “Adding the included mayonnaise turns it mellow, so you can enjoy it right to the end.” Pairing mayonnaise with ginger-soy stir-fry is the piece of firsthand information unique to this taste report.
In the photo, pork grilled together with a generous amount of onion is coated in a glossy reddish-brown sauce. Behind it sits a salad of shredded cabbage topped with corn, julienned carrot, and colorful red vegetables, with a spoonful of mayonnaise placed on the right side of the plate. Rice sits at the front left and miso soup at the front right, forming a set meal with rice and salad included. At the back right of the tray sits the “MATSUYA PASS” card used for this purchase, its printed expiration date reading “Until 23:59, Friday, July 31.”
Back on the Regular Menu Since July 7, 850 Yen (Tax Included)
The Stir-fried with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal was announced in an official notice dated July 6 as having “finally returned to the regular menu,” with sales starting at 10 a.m. the following day, July 7. It is part of Matsuya’s “Pork Loin” lineup, priced at 850 yen including tax. The notice emphasized its return as a permanent menu item, stating it was a “long-awaited return to the regular lineup, in response to customer requests.”
Also Mentions the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal “Since Yesterday,” MATSUYA PASS Valid Through Month’s End
The post also touched on the limited-time Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal released the previous day, noting, “Since yesterday, the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal has also gone on sale, making the set meal lineup even richer.” The Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal went on sale at 10 a.m. on July 14, and the official X account had already posted a taste report that same night. Bringing it up again the next day alongside the Stir-fried with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal, the account continued to spotlight the strength of its set meal lineup.
The MATSUYA PASS used for this purchase is the discount card for July, which went on advance sale starting June 26. It costs 200 yen including tax, and is valid from midnight on July 1 through 23:59 on July 31. It offers discounts such as 100 yen off classic set meals, and as of July 10, the official X account had reported that “due to popular demand, it has sold out at many stores.” With half a month still left in the valid period, this post can be read as a straightforward showcase of the pass’s value-for-money use case.
Editor's Note
Mayo with ginger-soy stir-fry sounds unexpected, but once you hear it, it's clearly a winning combination. Makes you want to try it while the pass is still in hand.
