Matsuya's 'Pork & Kimchi Set Meal' Nutrition Values Revised Upward Two Weeks After Launch — Regular Serving Up from 815 to 839 kcal

MenuUpdated

Matsuya has revised the published nutrition values for its limited-time “Pork & Kimchi Set Meal,” launched on August 25. As of September 8, the calorie count, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and salt equivalent have all been raised from their launch-time figures across all three sizes — Set Meal (Regular Serving), Only, and Double. The base price remains unchanged at 890 yen; only the figures for the contents have changed.

Calories, Fat, and Salt Equivalent Increased Across All Three Sizes

The before-and-after values for the Set Meal (Regular Serving) and Only option are as follows.

Size Calories Protein Fat Carbohydrates Salt Equivalent
Set Meal, Regular Serving (890 yen) 815 → 839 kcal 27.2 → 27.4g 28.3 → 30.1g 109.7 → 111.4g 6.9 → 7.4g
Only (690 yen) 411 → 430 kcal 19.1 → 19.3g 26.1 → 27.4g 24.8 → 26.5g 5.3 → 5.8g

The pre-change figures for the Regular Serving and Only option match the values published at the August 25 launch. In other words, the original published figures held for roughly two weeks after launch before being revised upward all at once. For the Regular Serving, calories rose by 24 kcal, fat by 1.8g, and salt equivalent by 0.5g. For the Only option, calories rose by 19 kcal, fat by 1.3g, and carbohydrates by 1.7g.

The Double (1,380 yen) was also updated this time, to 1,273 kcal, 46.7g protein, 58.0g fat, 137.8g carbohydrates, and 13.3g salt equivalent. The Double’s displayed value had already been corrected on the official site on the very first day of sale, moving from the 791 kcal originally published at launch to the current 1,273 kcal.

Not Just Select Nutrients — Every Category Shifted Upward Together

This revision did not affect a single nutrient in isolation. Calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and salt equivalent were all raised together across every size. Rather than one component standing out with an outsized change, this was an update where every category moved upward in step.

Still on the Lighter Side Within the 890 Yen Bracket

Within the Set Meal category, the Pork & Kimchi Set Meal comes in three sizes: Regular Serving at 890 yen, Only at 690 yen, and Double at 1,380 yen. The 890 yen Regular Serving sits in the most common price bracket for Set Meals, alongside the Yakiniku Boneless Short Rib Set Meal and the Yakiniku Beef Set Meal.

Even after this upward revision, the Regular Serving’s 839 kcal remains lower than the equally priced 890 yen Yakiniku Boneless Short Rib Set Meal (918 kcal), placing it just behind the Yakiniku Beef Set Meal (806 kcal) and keeping it on the lighter side within this price bracket. It also comes in below the calorie count of the slightly cheaper Stir-fried Pork with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal (850 yen, 920 kcal). Although the figures have increased, its overall position among Set Meals remains modest.

Note that the current 690 yen price for the Only option was itself revised in late August, and this latest change does not involve any price movement. The sequence, then, is that right after the price changed, the nutrition figures were next to be revised.

Editor's Note

Just after its price changed, the Pork & Kimchi Set Meal is now quietly padding out its numbers too. It's oddly diligent that every single figure ticked up together.
