The nutrition facts for Matsuya’s side dish “Negitama” (200 yen) have been rewritten. Salt equivalent fell from 1.8 g to 1.4 g, while energy, protein, and carbohydrates all rose slightly. The price remains at 200 yen.

Breakdown of the Changed Nutrition Values

Four items changed. The biggest move was in salt equivalent, which dropped by 0.4 g to 1.4 g.

Item	Before	After	Change
Energy	132 kcal	134 kcal	+2 kcal
Protein	7.5 g	7.6 g	+0.1 g
Carbohydrates	8.6 g	8.9 g	+0.3 g
Salt equivalent	1.8 g	1.4 g	-0.4 g

Fat stays at 7.3 g, so that item is unchanged. The three items that rose did so by only 0.1 to 0.3 g, which makes the drop in salt the one that stands out.

Salt Review, but No Official Announcement

Negitama is a 200-yen topping of chopped green onion paired with a soft-boiled egg, intended to be added to a Beef Bowl or a set meal. Matsuya has not issued any announcement about a change in recipe or formulation behind the drop in salt equivalent alongside the slight increases elsewhere, and no reason for the revised figures has been made public. It appears to reflect a recalculation of portions or measurement methods, but there is no information indicating that the ingredients themselves have changed.

Same Day, September 2: Nutrition Facts Updated for Other Items Too

On the official site as of September 2, the nutrition facts for items other than Negitama had also been rewritten. The “Beef Bowl topped with Green Onion and Soft Boiled Egg” was updated across all five sizes from Small Serving to Extra-large Serving, and the “Beef Bibimbap Bowl” across all three sizes: Small Serving, Regular Serving, and Large Serving. In both cases salt equivalent went down while energy and other values rose slightly, the same direction as the Negitama revision.

For example, the Regular Serving of the Beef Bowl topped with Green Onion and Soft Boiled Egg went from 4.8 g to 4.4 g of salt equivalent, and the Regular Serving of the Beef Bibimbap Bowl from 6.2 g to 5.5 g, both clear reductions in salt. The 0.4 g drop for Negitama on its own can be seen as part of this broader review of nutrition facts.

Where It Sits as a 200-Yen Side Dish

The nutrition facts moved, but the price stays at 200 yen. Among current side dishes, it sits in the same price range as Extra Cheese, Simmered Beef & Onion cooked with Sweet Soy sauce, served in Small Dish, and Rice. One tier cheaper, at 180 yen, are Sausage and Egg and Soy Milk Pudding; one tier up, at 240 yen, are Potato and Fresh Vegetable Salad and Miso Soup with Pork and Vegetables. Combined with a Beef Plate (370 yen), the “Green Onion and Soft-boiled Egg Beef Plate” comes to 570 yen, exactly the sum of the 200-yen Negitama on its own and the 370-yen Beef Plate on its own. Whether you order the topping by itself or alongside a Beef Plate, the total comes out the same.
