This time, I’m going to write a blog about my experience trying Matsuya’s new menu item.
This time, I’m introducing "Simmered Cabbage Tomato Hamburger Steak."
Matsuya has released various variations of hamburger steaks in the past, and whenever a menu item catches my interest, I make sure to try it. This time as well, I had a strong feeling that "this one's a winner!", so I decided to visit Matsuya at an off-peak lunch hour.
Pay Attention to Coupon Conditions! How to Get the Best Deal?
The coupon offered a 50-yen discount for two weeks after the release, so I immediately tried to place an order via mobile ordering…
However, to my surprise, the coupon could not be applied to the "Simmered Cabbage Tomato Hamburger Steak" without a side of fresh vegetables!
On the other hand, the set meal that includes fresh vegetables (+100 yen) was eligible for the coupon, meaning that in the end, you could get the vegetable-included version for just 50 yen more.
I thought, "This is a clever strategy to encourage customers to choose the higher-priced menu."
However, since I didn’t need the fresh vegetables this time, I decided to skip the coupon and order the standard "Simmered Cabbage Tomato Hamburger Steak" via mobile order.
Free Large Rice Serving is a Bonus! Plus, Using a Smart Payment Method for Extra Savings
Matsuya’s hamburger steaks always make me want to eat more rice, so without hesitation, I went for a large rice serving!
With rice prices rising, being able to get a large portion at no extra cost is truly appreciated. As long as this service continues, I’ll gladly take advantage of it! (LOL)
The total cost was 880 yen.
Fortunately, a 10% cashback campaign for d-payment was running at the time, so I decided to pay using d-payment.
By utilizing these promotions, you can enjoy your meal even more affordably!
Time to Dig In! The Tomato Sauce Has a Perfect Sweetness
And here it is—the "Simmered Cabbage Tomato Hamburger Steak" as served!
The kimchi in the back was redeemed using a free coupon I had received from a previous meal. With this extra side dish, my meal felt well-balanced even without the fresh vegetables.
Now, for the first bite... It’s surprisingly creamy!
I personally enjoy sweeter flavors, and this dish turned out to be even more to my taste than I expected.
Since it's a tomato-based sauce, I anticipated a more pronounced acidity, but it actually had a pleasantly mild and rich flavor—a good surprise!
And the tomato sauce pairs amazingly well with the rice!
When eaten with kimchi, the combination makes the rice disappear even faster, turning the meal into a battle for every last bite of rice (lol).
Even though I opted for a large rice portion, it still felt like it wasn’t enough!
The hamburger steak itself was as juicy as ever, with a perfect size and satisfying portion.
For something this delicious at a price in the 800-yen range, the value for money is truly unbeatable—just what you’d expect from Matsuya!
Summary: A Must-Try Hamburger Steak, Especially for Those Who Love Sweet Flavors
