On August 5, a note reading “※To be discontinued successively” appeared on the official website listings for Matsuya’s set meal menu items, the “Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal with Kimchi” and the “Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal with Soft-boiled Egg.” That means the end-of-sale notice came just 22 days after the nationwide launch on July 14.

The official X account had already posted on August 2 that “‘Twice-cooked Pork’ will be discontinued soon” and asked, “Have you tried both the Kimchi Set and the Soft-boiled Egg Set?” The notice on the official website now formally backs up that announcement.

How Long Can You Still Buy It?

Neither the official website nor the official X account gives a specific end date (they say only “soon” and “successively”). However, looking at past limited-time menu items that carried the same “※To be discontinued successively” notice and were later removed from the listings, the time from notice to removal fell in a range of roughly 6 to 19 days (about 9 days on average). Applying that to the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal, which received the notice on August 5, it is likely to disappear sometime between mid- and late August. This is only a past trend and not a guarantee of the end date, but it should serve as a guide for planning when to enjoy it one last time.

Two Side Dish Options: Kimchi and Soft-boiled Egg

The Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal comes with rice and miso soup, plus a choice of side dish: “Kimchi” or “Soft-boiled Egg.” These two options are listed on the official website as well. This choice of side dish has been a selling point since the launch on July 14.

The Soft-boiled Egg Set kept drawing attention even after launch. For example, the official X account showed off a way to eat it on July 20 by topping the twice-cooked pork with a soft-boiled egg.

The Kimchi Set has also been one of the side dish options since launch. Being able to agonize over which one to pick until the very end is one way to enjoy the menu now that only a little time is left.

Price and Nutrition

The price is the same regardless of which side dish you choose, offered in three sizes: Only for 680 yen, Set Meal for 880 yen, and Large Serving for 1370 yen. For the Set Meal (regular serving), it is 10 yen cheaper than the higher-priced Set Meal of Grilled Boneless Short Rib and Set Meal of Grilled Beef (both 890 yen for regular serving), and 30 yen more expensive than the Stir-fried Pork with Ginger Soy Sauce Set Meal (850 yen for regular serving), placing it in the middle of the set meal price range.

Nutrition differs depending on the side dish you choose. The figures for the Set Meal (regular serving) are as follows.

Menu item Energy Protein Fat Carbohydrates Salt equivalent
Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal with Kimchi 939kcal 27.7g 40.2g 114.2g 6.3g
Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal with Soft-boiled Egg 966kcal 32.1g 44.5g 105.7g 4.7g

The Soft-boiled Egg Set is slightly higher in protein and fat, while the Kimchi Set is higher in carbohydrates and salt equivalent.

A Wave of Summer Menu Changes

The notice on the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal is not an isolated discontinuation. From August 4 to 5, the same “※To be discontinued successively” notice appeared one after another on several limited-time items, including the “Yatara Beef Bowl,” and the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal is part of this wave of summer menu changes. Of these, the official X account has announced “Hiyajiru,” which launched on August 4, as the successor to the Samgyetang-style Soup, and has also previewed a replacement new menu item for the New Grilled Beef Bowl. As for a successor to the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal, no announcement from the official side has been found at this point.

Meanwhile, the “Soy Milk Pudding,” which debuted on the same day, July 14, as the Twice-cooked Pork Set Meal, is not treated as a limited-time item and continues on sale without any discontinuation notice. Even among items that appeared together on the same day, some are staying on as regular items while others are leaving as limited-time offerings.

Editor's Note

You can agonize one last time over kimchi or a soft-boiled egg. Better enjoy it before it's gone.
