The Lunch Set category launched on May 12, 2026, with five curry-based items added to the official menu page all at once, and today’s Discontinuation Notice applies only to the Umatoma Hamburg Steak version among them.
Two-Stage Notice on the Same Day, for the Base Version and the Lunch Set Version
Earlier the same morning, when the Discontinuation Notice was added to the base version, “Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice” (1,280 yen), the Lunch Set version (1,330 yen) had no notice attached and remained unchanged. With this latest addition, both the base and Lunch Set lines built around the Umatoma Hamburg Steak x Founding Beef Curry and Rice combination now carry a “to be discontinued successively” status.
The price difference between the two is only 50 yen. The Lunch Set version comes with rice, salad, and miso soup, making it close to the base version with rice items added separately.
Among the Five Curry-Based Lunch Set Items, Only the Umatoma Hamburg Steak Version Is Affected
Among the five curry-based items added to the Lunch Set category on May 12, only the Umatoma Hamburg Steak version carries a Discontinuation Notice as of May 26. The other four items remain unchanged.
| Menu Item | Price | Discontinuation Notice as of May 26 |
|---|---|---|
| Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set | 830 yen | None |
| Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set | 1,030 yen | None |
| Founding Beef Karegyu Lunch Set | 1,100 yen | None |
| Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set | 1,200 yen | None |
| Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set (this item) | 1,330 yen | Added (5/26) |
The hamburg-steak-topped variations consist of two items: the “Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set” (1,200 yen) and this “Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set” (1,330 yen). The plain hamburg steak version remains unchanged, while only the higher-tier version with Umatoma sauce is affected — the same selective pattern seen in the base version earlier that morning, now carried over to the Lunch Set category as well.
Discontinuation Progress Across Three Lines of “Umatoma Hamburg Steak x Founding Beef Curry and Rice”
There were three lines of menu items combining Umatoma Hamburg Steak with Founding Beef Curry and Rice: a beef tongue version, a base version, and a Lunch Set version. The beef tongue version was officially discontinued on April 7, and today, May 26, both the remaining base version and Lunch Set version received Discontinuation Notices.
| Line | Price | Discontinuation Notice | Official Discontinuation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Tongue Curry and Rice | 1,480 yen | March 31, 2026 | April 7, 2026 |
| Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice (base version) | 1,280 yen | May 26, 2026 (same-day morning) | TBD |
| Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set (this item) | 1,330 yen | May 26, 2026 (same-day afternoon) | TBD |
About seven weeks after the beef tongue version’s discontinuation, the base version and Lunch Set version received Discontinuation Notices in quick succession, marking a phase in which the entire “Umatoma Hamburg Steak + Founding Beef Curry and Rice” combination is exiting the menu.
Lunch Set Version Joins the Rush of Discontinuation Notices on May 26
May 26 saw Discontinuation Notices issued for multiple menu items starting in the morning, and including this one, discontinuation-related moves on this day now number five.
| Time | Item | Limited-time category |
|---|---|---|
| Same-day morning | Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice (base version) | Regular |
| Same-day morning | 4 Classic Hamburg Steak items | Regular |
| Same-day morning | 3 Umatoma Hamburg Steak with Fresh Vegetable Salad Set items | Regular |
| Same-day afternoon | Butter Chicken Curry and Rice (announced on official X) | Limited-time |
| Same-day afternoon (this item) | Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice Lunch Set | Regular |
Discontinuation Notices for the “Umatoma Hamburg Steak” line have been issued in succession on the regular menu side, marking a phase in which the standard “Umatoma Hamburg Steak” sauce lineup is converging from both the Founding Beef Curry and Rice side and the Fresh Vegetable Salad Set side.
Editor's Note
Following the base version this morning, now the Lunch Set version too. The Umatoma-line Founding Beef Curry and Rice really does seem to be nearing its end.
