Matsuya's Official X Account Reports Eating "Salt-based Green Onion Bowl" 11 Days After April 21 Launch, Reveals Large Serving Comes with 2 Slices of Pork Loin, Recommends "Grated Domestic Yam Paste" Topping

Matsuya’s official X account (@matsuya_foods) posted at 6:43 PM on May 2, 2026, reporting that it had eaten the “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” (grilled pork loin version), released on April 21. The report came 11 days after launch, posted around dinnertime during Golden Week.

Original Post

本日は豚ロースグリルの「ネギ塩丼」を頂きました（╹◡╹）

大盛にすると大大大ボリュームの豚ロース2枚‼️

ちなみに、ネギ塩丼のおすすめトッピングはとろろです🙄

皆様のおすすめトッピングは何でしょうか⁉️

(In English: “Today I had the grilled pork loin ‘Salt-based Green Onion Bowl’ (╹◡╹). Go for the Large Serving and you get a huge, huge, huge portion of 2 slices of pork loin‼️ By the way, the recommended topping for the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is Grated Domestic Yam Paste 🙄 What are your recommended toppings⁉️”)

The opening line, “頂きました (itadakimashita) (╹◡╹),” uses an emoticon that has become a fixture of the eating-report posts since April. The closing question, “What are your recommended toppings?”, follows the question format seen in recent posts, continuing from the April 27 Kimchi Kalbi Bowl post, which asked, “Why is the Soft-boiled Egg so popular…? 🤔”

Official Info: 2 Slices of Pork Loin in a Large Serving

In the post, Matsuya itself states that the Large Serving comes with “a huge, huge, huge portion of 2 slices of pork loin.” The Regular Serving of the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl costs 730 yen, and at the April 21 launch announcement it was promoted with the message that the bowl had been “upgraded to a thick cut.” However, a specific mention of the meat quantity in the Large Serving is new information.

Size	Price	Slices of Pork Loin (official info)
Regular Serving	730 yen	Thick cut (no official mention of the number of slices)
Large Serving	(to be confirmed)	2 slices

The menu is built by turning the same pork loin used in the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin (Regular Serving 880 yen, 120 g) into a bowl, and it appears the Large Serving secures an amount of meat close to that of the set meal version.

Official Recommended Topping: Grated Domestic Yam Paste

On the third line of the post, Matsuya itself recommends a topping: “The recommended topping for the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is Grated Domestic Yam Paste 🙄.” It then asks readers, “What are your recommended toppings⁉️”, a format designed to prompt topping discussions in the replies.

Part of the Eating-Report Series Since April

Since April, Matsuya’s official X account has kept up its eating-report posts at a pace of roughly once a week to several times a week. This post fits into that stream, serving as a follow-up after the launch of a new menu item.

Date	Menu item eaten	Question format
April 6	Stir-fried Chicken with Butter Soy Sauce Set Meal	(with emoticon)
April 8	Garlic Butter Pork Short Rib & Egg Bowl	(Garibata Power)
April 14	Gorochiki (calculating the 50-yen-off Coupon and 50 points as an effective 100 yen off)	–
April 16	Umatoma (reported earning 165 points as a Platinum member)	–
April 27	Kimchi Kalbi Bowl + Soft-boiled Egg	“Why is the Soft-boiled Egg so popular…? 🤔”
April 28	Set Meal of Pork Steak (launch day)	–
May 2 (this post)	Salt-based Green Onion Bowl (11 days after launch)	“What are your recommended toppings⁉️”

This is the second post to use a question format, following the April 27 Kimchi Kalbi Bowl, and the follower-interaction style of eating-report posts is taking hold.

Continuing Observation of the Tray

In the April eating-report posts, the color of the tray in the photo background was covered in its own section as a regular point of observation. Past articles have tracked the shooting location across the series, from the wooden tray used at the Mitaka Main Store to the black tray of a general store, and then the return of the wooden tray.

Date	Menu item eaten	Tray (as observed in past articles)
April 6	Stir-fried Chicken with Butter Soy Sauce Set Meal	Wooden (Mitaka Main Store style)
April 8	Garlic Butter Pork Short Rib & Egg Bowl	Wooden (Mitaka Main Store style)
April 16	Umatoma	Wooden (Mitaka Main Store style)
April 27	Kimchi Kalbi Bowl + Soft-boiled Egg	Black (general store style)
April 28	Set Meal of Pork Steak	Wooden (Mitaka Main Store style, back to headquarters shooting)
May 2 (this post)	Salt-based Green Onion Bowl	To be confirmed from the post’s photo; a continuing observation point for this series

The recent trend is that a black tray (general store) appeared once on April 27, then the wooden tray (Mitaka Main Store) returned on April 28, the launch day of the Set Meal of Pork Steak. In this Salt-based Green Onion Bowl post as well, the tray color remains an observation point for the series.

Where the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl Stands

The Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is a Limited-time bowl released on April 21. It debuted as the successor to the long-standing regular “Original Salt-based Green Onion Thick Pork Boneless Short Rib Bowl,” which was delisted. It is a bowl version of the same thick-cut pork loin used in the “Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin” (120 g of thick-cut pork loin) released at the same time, and Matsuya’s official X account also promoted the thick-cut upgrade of the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl in its advance notice (April 16) and its launch-day announcement (April 21).

In this eating report, 11 days after launch, the account newly disclosed specific information, “2 slices of pork loin in the Large Serving,” rather than product visuals. This marks a shift in emphasis, now that the initial launch push has settled down, toward suggesting ways to eat it for repeat customers.
