Matsuya Adds Two Items, Batachiki and Cream Butter Curry, to the Menu
5月12日9時38分、松屋公式サイトのメニューデータに本日10時発売予定の「バターチキンカレー」「クリームバターカレー」の2品が追加された。10時の販売開始まで残り22分という、発売直前の登録となる。同時に「ネギ塩丼」には『※順次、販売終了予定』の注記が付与され、5月8日に公式Xで予告された販売終了がメニューデータ側にも反映された格好。
At 9:38 AM on May 12, two items scheduled for release at 10:00 AM today — “Butter Chicken Curry and Rice” and “Cream Butter Curry and Rice” — were added to the menu data on Matsuya’s official site. The listing went up just 22 minutes before the 10:00 AM release, making it a last-minute registration. At the same time, the “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” gained the menu note “*To be discontinued successively,” reflecting in the menu data the discontinuation that had been announced on the official X account on May 8.
Details of the Two New Items
| Menu Item | Category | Regular Serving Price (tax included) | Limited-time Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Butter Chicken Curry and Rice | Curry and Rice | 980 yen | None (regular category) |
| Cream Butter Curry and Rice | Curry and Rice | 730 yen | None (regular category) |
“Butter Chicken Curry and Rice” makes its return for the first time in about 20 months since September 2024, a popular Matsuya curry familiarly known by its nickname “Batachiki.” “Cream Butter Curry and Rice” joins the menu at the budget-friendly price of 730 yen, debuting with today’s 10:00 AM release. Neither item is treated as limited-time; both are registered under the regular category on the menu.
“To Be Discontinued Successively” Note Added to the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl
At the same time, the menu note for the “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” (Regular Serving, 730 yen) gained the annotation “*To be discontinued successively.” This item debuted on April 21 as a thick-cut upgrade, and on May 8 the official X account had announced it would “be discontinued successively starting next week.” Today, May 12 (the start of “next week”), the discontinuation notice was reflected in the menu data as well.
| Development | Date |
|---|---|
| “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” debuts | April 21, 2026, 9:38 AM |
| Official X announces discontinuation | May 8, 2026, 9:16 PM (“to be discontinued successively starting next week”) |
| “To be discontinued successively” note added to menu (this event) | May 12, 2026, 9:38 AM |
Large-Scale Reorganization of the Curry Category
Today, May 12 at 10:00 AM, also marks a large-scale changeover day for the Curry and Rice category.
| Development at 10:00 AM on May 12 | Details |
|---|---|
| “Butter Chicken Curry and Rice” release | 980 yen, first return in about 20 months, registered on the menu today |
| “Cream Butter Curry and Rice” release | 730 yen, budget line, registered on the menu today |
| “Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry and Rice” discontinued | 890 yen, discontinued at 10:00 AM on 5/12 (discontinuation announced on 5/5) |

The changing of the guard in the Curry and Rice lineup kicks off simultaneously with the Curry Point Boost Campaign, forming the climax of Matsuya’s menu reorganization at 10:00 AM on May 12.
9:38 AM: A Listing Timed Right Before Release
The menu listing went up just 22 minutes before the 10:00 AM release — a last-minute timing. Compared with recent new menu additions:
| Item | Release Date/Time | Menu Registration Time | Lead Time Before Release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry and Rice | April 14, 2026, 10:00 AM | April 14, 2026, 9:44 AM | 16 minutes prior |
| Salt-based Green Onion Bowl | April 21, 2026, 10:00 AM | April 21, 2026, 9:38 AM | 22 minutes prior |
| Three Taco Rice Items | May 5, 2026, 10:00 AM | May 5, 2026, 9:39 AM | 21 minutes prior |
| Batachiki & Cream Butter Curry and Rice (this event) | May 12, 2026, 10:00 AM | May 12, 2026, 9:38 AM | 22 minutes prior |
The pattern of registering menu items 20 to 25 minutes before the 10:00 AM release has become established over the last four instances, and today’s Batachiki and Cream Butter Curry and Rice follow the same last-minute registration pattern.
Editor's Note
Batachiki and Cream Butter Curry and Rice were registered 22 minutes before the 10:00 AM release, with the "To be discontinued successively" note added to the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl at the same moment. On the morning of the curry lineup's changing of the guard, everything shifts right at the 10 o'clock mark.
