Matsuya Official X Reports Eating the April 21-Released "Salt-based Green Onion Bowl" 11 Days After Launch — Official Reveals Large Serving Has Two Pieces of Pork Loin, Recommended Topping Is "Grated Domestic Yam Paste"

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

Today I had the Grilled Pork Loin “Salt-based Green Onion Bowl” (╹◡╹)

Order it in Large Serving and you get a massive two pieces of pork loin‼️

By the way, our recommended topping for the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is Grated Domestic Yam Paste🙄

What’s your favorite topping⁉️

The opening kaomoji “(╹◡╹)” after “I had” has become a fixture of the official account’s Eating Report posts since April. The closing line, “What’s your favorite topping⁉️,” follows the question-style format seen in recent posts, echoing “Why is soft-boiled egg so popular…?🤔” from the April 27 Kimchi Kalbi Bowl eating report.

Official Confirms Large Serving Comes with Two Pieces of Pork Loin

In the post, Matsuya’s official account itself revealed that “ordering it in Large Serving gets you a massive two pieces of pork loin.” The Regular Serving of the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is priced at 730 yen, and the April 21 launch announcement had promoted the bowl as being “upgraded to thick-cut pork loin as well,” but this is new information specifically about the amount of meat in the Large Serving.

Size	Price	Pork Loin Pieces (Official Info)
Regular Serving	730 yen	Thick-cut (no official mention of piece count)
Large Serving	(price to be confirmed separately)	2 pieces

The bowl uses the same pork loin as the Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin (Regular Serving 880 yen, 120g) in a rice bowl format, suggesting that ordering the Large Serving brings the meat quantity close to that of the set meal version.

Official Recommended Topping: “Grated Domestic Yam Paste”

The third line of the post reads, “Our recommended topping for the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is Grated Domestic Yam Paste🙄,” with the official account itself suggesting a topping. It then asks readers, “What’s your favorite topping⁉️,” a structure designed to encourage topping discussions in the replies.

Part of the Ongoing Run of Eating Report Posts Since April

Since April, Matsuya’s official X account has kept up its Eating Report posts at a pace of roughly once to a few times per week. This post is part of that ongoing run, positioned as a post-launch follow-up for a new menu item.

Date	Menu Item Eaten	Question Format
April 6	Stir-fried Chicken with Butter Soy Sauce Set Meal	(with kaomoji)
April 8	Garlic Butter Pork Short Rib & Egg Bowl	(Garlic Butter Power)
April 14	Gorochiki (calculated the 50-yen coupon discount plus 50 points as an effective 100-yen discount)	–
April 16	Umatoma (reported earning 165 points as a Platinum member)	–
April 27	Kimchi Kalbi Bowl + Soft-boiled Egg	“Why is 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’s your favorite topping⁉️”

This is the second time a question-style close has appeared, following the April 27 Kimchi Kalbi Bowl post, and it is becoming a fixture of the follower-engagement style of Eating Report posts.

Status of the Ongoing Tray-Color Observation

In April’s Eating Report posts, the color of the tray in the photo background had become a standing observation point, covered in its own dedicated section. The swing between the wooden tray used at the Mitaka Main Store and the black tray used at regular locations, followed by a return to the wooden tray, has been tracked across the series as an indicator of the shooting location.

Date	Menu Item Eaten	Tray (Observation from 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 (regular store style)
April 28	Set Meal of Pork Steak	Wooden (Mitaka Main Store style, back to head-office shooting)
May 2 (this post)	Salt-based Green Onion Bowl	To be confirmed from the post photo; remains an ongoing observation point for this series

The recent pattern shows the black tray (regular store) appearing once on April 27, before returning to the wooden tray (Mitaka Main Store) on April 28, the launch day of the Set Meal of Pork Steak. The tray color remains an ongoing observation point in this Salt-based Green Onion Bowl post as well.

Where the Salt-based Green Onion Bowl Fits In

The Salt-based Green Onion Bowl is a limited-time bowl released on April 21, introduced as the successor after the previously standard “Original Salt-based Green Onion Thick Pork Boneless Short Rib Bowl” was delisted. It uses the same thick-cut pork loin as the simultaneously released “Set Meal of Grilled Pork Loin” (120g of thick-cut pork loin) in a rice bowl format. At the time of the joint April 21 launch, Matsuya’s official X account had already promoted the bowl’s switch to thick-cut pork loin in both its advance announcement (April 16) and its launch-day announcement (April 21).

This latest eating report, coming 11 days after launch, newly discloses concrete information — “two pieces of pork loin in the Large Serving” — rather than focusing on product visuals. Coming after the initial post-launch promotional push had settled down, it marks a shift in focus toward serving suggestions aimed at repeat customers.
