Matsuya's 'The Katsu Curry and Rice' (690 Yen) Delisted at 51 Stores Across 8 Prefectures
The store-limited menu item “The Katsu Curry and Rice,” served at some Matsuya & My Curry Shokudo co-located stores for 690 yen (tax included), was removed from the store-limited page on the Matsuya official site on the morning of August 11, 2026. Final availability was at 51 stores across 8 prefectures centered on Tokyo, with the item listed on the official site since April 21 — a run of roughly four months.
A Sauce Made to Match the “Katsu,” at This Price
“The Katsu Curry and Rice” is a dish of My Curry Shokudo’s curry topped with a crisply fried Loin Cutlet, priced at 690 yen (tax included). The announcement image read, “At this price, we even made a sauce that goes even better with the ‘katsu.’” — putting the curry sauce, tailored to pair with the cutlet, front and center. The lineup consisted of three options: the base “The Katsu Curry and Rice” at 690 yen, “The Cheese Katsu Curry and Rice” at 890 yen with melting cheese added, and “The Double Katsu Curry and Rice” at 920 yen with two Loin Cutlets stacked. Prices were the same for dine-in and takeout.
51 Stores Across 8 Prefectures, Concentrated in Tokyo
Just before it was delisted, the item was available at 51 stores across 8 prefectures nationwide. Tokyo accounted for 31 stores — about 60% of the total — and Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Saitama together made up 43 stores, over 80% of the total, a distribution heavily concentrated in the Greater Tokyo area. The requirement of being a Matsuya store co-located with a My Curry Shokudo narrowed the field, making this a limited-time menu centered on central Tokyo and the city’s northern Johoku district. Against the roughly 1,200 Matsuya stores operating nationwide, the rollout covered only about 4%.
| Prefecture | Number of Stores |
|---|---|
| Tokyo | 31 |
| Kanagawa Prefecture | 9 |
| Saitama Prefecture | 3 |
| Fukuoka Prefecture | 3 |
| Hyogo Prefecture | 2 |
| Osaka Prefecture | 1 |
| Miyagi Prefecture | 1 |
| Aichi Prefecture | 1 |
Delisted While Still Holding at 51 Stores
According to the official site’s store-limited page, the store count dropped to 51 nationwide on July 13 when Matsuya Kawanishi-Noseguchi Store (0860) in Hyogo Prefecture was removed from the list, and it held steady at 51 from then on. That store has continued normal operations since, so this wasn’t a store closure — only that particular store’s handling of this item ended. Counting from its listing start (shown as April 21 on the official site), the item ran for roughly four months, a relatively long run within the category of store-limited menus. Store-limited items sometimes reappear after a gap once delisted, so future treatment awaits an official announcement.
Two Teppan-Grilled Meat Bowls Launch the Same Day, August 11
August 11, the day “The Katsu Curry and Rice” disappeared, is also the launch date for new menu items Matsuya had announced in advance. Starting at 10:00 that day, two Teppan-Grilled items go on sale: the “Beef Short Rib & Offal Bowl” and “Matsuya’s Yakiniku Beef Bowl.”
Editor's Note
A store-limited katsu curry for 690 yen, with cheese and double options available — plenty of Tokyo readers probably relied on it for lunch.
