This is a reference translation. The Japanese version is the authoritative original.

On October 2, 2026, the “Double Loin Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce” appeared on the menu page of Matsunoya’s official website at 1090 yen. Three Pork Fried Steak set meals carrying the same “Back Fat Ginger Sauce” name were listed together at 15:00 on September 30, and this item follows them as the fourth. The official notice dated September 25, however, named only three items, and this one is not among them.

Not Among the Three Items the Notice Named

The official notice dated September 25 gave three item names, all going on sale at 15:00 on September 30. The wording below is taken from the notice itself and differs in places from the names used on the menu page.

Item Named in the Notice	Price
“Rib” Loin Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce	1090 yen
Loin Pork Fried Steak & Pork Loin Cutlet Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce	1090 yen
Loin Pork Fried Steak & Karaage (3 pcs) Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce	1090 yen

All three went up on the menu page in a single batch during the 15:00 hour on September 30. The Double Loin item arrived two days later, on its own. Five official notices were published between September 28 and October 2, but all of them fall under the campaign category, and none announces the launch of this item.

The Sauce Adds 40 Yen

At 1090 yen, the item ranks sixth from the top among the 23 items in the Set Meal category, which run from 690 yen to 1390 yen. The three earlier items in the series are also 1090 yen, putting all four at the same price.

Cut	With Back Fat Ginger Sauce	Plain Cutlet Set Meal	Change
Double Loin	1090 yen	DoublePorkLoinCutlet 1050 yen	40 yen
“Rib” Loin	1090 yen	Large Rib Roast Pork Loin Cutlet 1050 yen	40 yen

Set against the plain cutlet set meals that name the same cut, the Back Fat Ginger Sauce version costs 40 yen more in both cases. The gap is the same 40 yen for Double Loin and Rib Loin alike, so the price difference holds across the series. Whether the meat portion and the cooking are also identical is not stated in the official listing.

A Series Brought Back as a “Revival”

The Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce first appeared on October 22, 2025. At the time it was a single Loin item. The September 25 notice describes this year’s run as a “revival” that the chain is “selling again this year,” and 343 days — roughly 11 months — separate the previous launch from this year’s launch on September 30.

The Pork Fried Steak itself has a longer line of descent: Onion Butter Sauce in February 2024, a choose-from-two-sauces format that October, and Garlic Soy Sauce that December, with Back Fat Ginger Sauce joining as a relatively recent flavor in 2025. This year it has grown from a single item into a lineup of four — though how the fourth came about never surfaces in the official announcements.
