The prices of the eight regular Platter Set Meals back on the list as of 14:37 on the 28th are, for all eight, the same as before they were delisted on October 21.

The highest price is the 1,530 yen Extra Thick-Cut Rib Loin Cutlet & Fried Shrimp (2 pcs) Set Meal, and its 91.9 g of fat is the most of the eight. The leader in three other figures, 1,601 kcal of calories, 61.1 g of protein and 5.0 g of salt equivalent, is the 1,350 yen Large Rib Roast Pork Loin Cutlet&Japanese Authentic FriedChicken, so the price ranking and the nutrition ranking do not line up.

Another Switchover Falls at 15:00 on the 28th

15:00 on October 28 is the end time of the Double Portion Fair, and the official notice and the official X account have announced that the same moment brings the launch of 15 items, among them the Minced Meat Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce Set Meal, along with the end of the Shinmai Fair Coupon. The Platter Set Meal listings returned to their regular contents ahead of that switchover time.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Same contents, same portion, and only the price moves, by 20 yen. No telling what that 20 yen is supposed to accomplish.
