Matsuya's 'Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal' to Be Discontinued Successively, Three Weeks After Nationwide Release

Matsuya’s official website menu page added a “※To be discontinued successively” notice on October 20 for the “Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal,” which the chain released nationwide on September 29, 2026. The notice comes roughly three weeks after the item went on sale nationwide.

How Long It Will Be Available

The official website does not state a specific end date; the notice simply reads “※To be discontinued successively.” As the word “successively” suggests, the item isn’t expected to disappear from every store on the same final day — rather, individual stores are expected to end sales at their own pace, and no confirmed final sale date has been announced at this time.

The Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal joined the nationwide menu on September 29, making the sales period roughly three weeks up to October 20, when the discontinuation notice appeared. The number of days between launch and a discontinuation notice varies by item among Matsuya’s limited-time menu items, and this roughly three-week span falls within that range. It’s also typical for past limited-time items to come off the menu without a numeric end date ever being announced, which means how much longer it remains available will depend on inventory.

Price and Nutritional Information

The Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal is priced at 890 yen for the set meal, which comes with rice and salad, and 690 yen for the item alone. The 890 yen set meal price lands in the price bracket with the most items currently in the set meal category, matching the Set Meal of Grilled Boneless Short Rib, Set Meal of Grilled Beef, and Tomato Hamburg Steak Meal.

Set Meal	Set Meal Price
Grilled Chicken w/ Chili Sauce Meal (Limited-time)	990 yen
Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal	890 yen
Set Meal of Grilled Boneless Short Rib	890 yen
Set Meal of Grilled Beef	890 yen

Stir-fried Pork with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal	850 yen
Set Meal of Hamburg Steak in Brown Sauce	830 yen
Set Meal of Seared Salmon	800 yen

The Stir-fried Pork with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal, at 850 yen, is the only one a step cheaper, while the limited-time Grilled Chicken w/ Chili Sauce Meal, at 990 yen, is the only one a step more expensive — making the Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal an item that sat right in the price bracket at the center of the set meal lineup. Its 690 yen item-alone price also matches the item-alone prices of the Set Meal of Grilled Beef, Set Meal of Grilled Boneless Short Rib, and Tomato Hamburg Steak Meal.

Nutritionally, the item alone comes to 505 kcal (protein 21.9g / fat 33.1g / carbohydrates 26.2g / salt equivalent 6.2g), while the set meal with rice and salad comes to 909 kcal (protein 30.0g / fat 35.2g / carbohydrates 111.1g / salt equivalent 7.8g). Neither the price nor the nutritional information has changed since launch.

From Store-Limited Item to Nationwide Release to Discontinuation Notice

The Black Mapo Tofu Set Meal first appeared as a store-limited item at select locations on June 30, 2026, before expanding to the nationwide menu roughly three months later, on September 29.

A set meal built around mapo tofu as the centerpiece is a rare Chinese-style item in Matsuya’s set meal lineup. The window to order it easily at any location nationwide may now be running short.
