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

On September 30, 2026, Matsunoya’s official website listed the “Rib” Loin Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce along with two items in the Platter category, three in total. All three are priced at 1,090 yen. The official notice states that sales begin at 15:00 the same day.

The three items had already been announced in an official notice dated September 25, 2026, at which point they did not appear on the official website menu. They have now lined up on the menu page under the same item names and at the same prices.

Prices and Nutrition Information for the Three Items

The prices match, but the numbers do not. Energy is highest in the platter with the Pork Loin Cutlet at 1,356kcal, a gap of 161kcal over the platter with Authentic Karaage, the lowest of the three. Fat follows the same pattern: the Pork Loin Cutlet combination comes in at 77.0g, 13.3g more than the Karaage combination. Salt Equivalent runs the other way, with the “Rib” Loin set meal on its own highest at 6.9g and the Pork Loin Cutlet platter lowest at 5.3g.

The Three Items

Listed under the Set Meal category is the “Rib” Loin Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce. The item name puts the cut of meat in quotation marks as “Rib” Loin.

The other two fall under the Platter category, each pairing the Pork Fried Steak with another cutlet or fried item. One is the combination with the Pork Loin Cutlet.

The other is the combination with three pieces of Authentic Karaage.

Where the 1,090-Yen Price Slots In

The 1,090-yen price fills a gap that was open between existing menu items.

In the Set Meal category, below the new “Rib” Loin set meal sit the 1,050-yen Large Rib Roast Pork Loin Cutlet and DoublePorkLoinCutlet, while above it are four items including the 1,150-yen DoublePorkLoinCutlet w/ Miso Sauce and Large Rib Roast Pork Loin Cutlet w/Grated Radish. That leaves the new item as the only set meal at 1,090 yen.

The Platter category is even clearer. Until now it split between three items at 990 yen (Pork Loin Cutlet & Fried White Fish, Pork Loin Cutlet & Fried Squid, and Pork Loin Cutlet & Authentic Karaage) and four items at 1,190 yen or more, with nothing in the price range between them. The two new items land there.

Official Notice Says “This Year, Too”

The official notice dated September 25, 2026, carried the launch under the headline “The rich, hearty menu that goes with rice is back!” and states in the body that the chain will “sell it again this year.” The items are presented not as new products but as the return of items carried in the past.

Also starting at 15:00 on September 30 is a fair offering free rice refills with set meals.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Hmm. The "Rib" Loin and the one with Karaage are the same 1,090 yen. No telling which to pick.
