Matsuya Cuts Prices of Four Founding Beef Curry and Rice Items by 100 Yen Across the Board

MenuPrice Revision

Among Matsuya’s curry menu, four items centered on the “Founding Beef Curry and Rice” were all cut by 100 yen on July 28, 2026. The products themselves remain unchanged — only the prices listed on the official website were lowered, as part of a price revision spanning the entire line. After the cut, prices start at 560 yen for the cheapest option, placing it among the lowest price points in the curry lineup.

All Four Items Cut by 100 Yen

This round of price revisions covers four items: the flagship Founding Beef Curry and Rice, plus its Cheese, Hamburg Steak, and Karegyu variations. Every item was cut by exactly 100 yen from its previous price, making this a uniform, across-the-board revision.

Menu Item Previous Price New Price
Founding Beef Curry and Rice (Only) 660 yen 560 yen
Founding Beef Curry and Rice 780 yen 680 yen
Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice 980 yen 880 yen
Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice 990 yen 890 yen
Founding Beef Karegyu 1,050 yen 950 yen

The top-tier Karegyu fell from 1,050 yen to 950 yen, dropping below the 1,000-yen mark. The Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice, topped with a hamburg steak over beef curry, fell from 990 yen to 890 yen, while the Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice, layered with melted cheese, fell from 980 yen to 880 yen.

Post-Cut Prices Now Align with the Beef Bowl Lineup

After the cut, prices now sit almost exactly in line with Matsuya’s flagship Beef Bowl price range. The 560-yen Only option matches the 560 yen for a Regular Serving of Kimchi Beef Bowl or Oni-oroshi Grated Radish Ponzu Citrus Soy Sauce Beef Bowl (Regular Serving), the 680-yen option with rice matches the 680 yen Large Serving Beef Bowl, and the 880-yen Cheese Founding Beef Curry and Rice matches the 880 yen Large Serving Cheese Beef Bowl. The 950-yen Karegyu also lands close to the 960 yen Extra-large Serving Kimchi Beef Bowl.

Even within the curry lineup itself, the newly discounted 560-yen Founding Beef Curry and Rice (Only) now sits at the most accessible price point among curry items. Compared with the store-limited Founding Beef Loin Cutlet Curry and Rice (980 yen), the price has moved closer to a range suited for everyday ordering.

Among the four items cut this time, the Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice has seen the largest price movement. The item was already cut once to 990 yen on June 2, and with this latest cut to 890 yen, it has now fallen a cumulative 260 yen — about 22.6% — from its end-of-March price of 1,150 yen, across two rounds of cuts. The two cuts came within roughly two months of each other, and the Hamburg Steak item’s decline stands out among the four.

Meanwhile, the lunch set for the Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice, which comes with rice and salad, remains unchanged at 1,040 yen as of July 28 and was not adjusted alongside this round of cuts to the standalone item. The lunch set’s price has not changed since it reappeared at 1,040 yen on June 2.

Curry Variations Continue to Rotate

The Founding Beef Curry and Rice has long been a staple with a rotating cast of variations. In late March, a “Founding Beef Tongue Curry and Rice” lineup paired with beef tongue appeared, but had disappeared by early April, and the “Umatoma Hamburg Steak Founding Beef Curry and Rice,” layered with Umatoma flavor, was announced for discontinuation in late May and ended sales in June. Amid this shifting cast of variations, this round saw the four core base items cut together.

The discounted prices were reflected on Matsuya’s official website as of July 28.

Editor's Note

The Karegyu has dropped below the 1,000-yen mark. At 890 yen for curry topped with a hamburg steak, that's a price cut that quietly adds up.
