Matsuya Adds "To Be Discontinued in Stages" Notice to All Four Revived Shkmeruli Dishes

Matsuya updated its menu on June 23, 2026, adding a “To be discontinued in stages” notice to all four Shkmeruli dishes that were revived on June 16, 2026 to mark the company’s 60th anniversary. At the same time, the two Chimichurri Sauce Grilled Thick Pork dishes that had been on sale since spring were removed from the menu, and a new Samgyetang-style Soup Only item joined the lunch Choice of Side lineup.

All Four Shkmeruli Dishes Marked “To Be Discontinued in Stages”

Shkmeruli, revived on June 16, 2026, comes in four variations: two Hot Pot-style dishes (store-limited) and two Regular-style dishes (available at all stores). In this update, all four dishes had a “To be discontinued in stages” notice added to their notes.

Menu Item	Price (tax included)	Calories	Availability
Shkmeruli Hot Pot Set Meal	1,190 yen	1,477 kcal	Store-limited
Shkmeruli Hot Pot Rice Set	1,090 yen	1,453 kcal	Store-limited
Shkmeruli Set Meal	1,090 yen (890 yen Only)	1,405 kcal	All stores
Shkmeruli Rice Set	990 yen	1,381 kcal	All stores

Shkmeruli launched with an announced sales window of “a little over a week.” With more than a week having passed since launch, the official menu notice now visibly confirms that the end is approaching. The dedicated Extra Cheese topping (120 yen) also carries the same discontinuation notice.

Chimichurri Sauce Grilled Thick Pork Removed from the Menu

In the same update, two dishes — Chimichurri Sauce Grilled Thick Pork Set Meal (1,280 yen) and Chimichurri Sauce Grilled Thick Pork (1,180 yen) — were removed from the official menu. Both launched on May 19, 2026, and as of June 12, 2026 already carried a “To be discontinued in stages” advance notice. This update carried out that notice as announced, marking roughly 35 days since launch.

“Samgyetang-style Soup Only” Joins the Lunch Choice of Side

Samgyetang-style Soup Only (210 yen, 162 kcal) was added to the lunch “Choice of Side” lineup. Earlier this morning, Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables Only (120 yen) was removed from the menu, briefly leaving no hot soup option among the Choice of Side items — the addition of Samgyetang-style Soup restores a soup option to the lineup. The soup slot in Choice of Side has switched from Miso Soup with Pork & Vegetables (120 yen) to Samgyetang-style Soup (210 yen), a 90-yen increase.

A Wholesale Switch to Summer Menu Items

This update coincides with the rollout of summer staples such as the grilled eel dishes and Samgyetang-style Soup. The Chimichurri Grilled Thick Pork that debuted in spring has been removed from the menu, the revived Shkmeruli now carries a discontinuation notice, and the lunch soup side has shifted to the summer-suited Samgyetang-style Soup. The menu is being reshuffled wholesale in step with the change of season.
