Heading to Matsunoya for an Easy Meal: Seeking Out Their Buzzworthy New Meat Dish
Conveniently located near train stations and major thoroughfares, Matsunoya is a well-known chain where you can easily satisfy cravings for hearty fried food. Having had a great experience during a previous visit, I decided to stop by after spotting the announcement for their latest menu addition.
The effortless ordering process through ticket vending machines and mobile apps is another great convenience of major chains. This time, I went straight for the stamina-boosting pork steak dish I had been eyeing.
Tasting the "Rib Roast Pork Fried Steak Set with Pork Fat & Ginger Sauce": Tender Meat and a Satisfying Rich Glaze
I ordered the "Rib Roast Pork Fried Steak Set Meal with Pork Fat & Ginger Sauce" (1,090 yen including tax). By using a standard 100-yen off coupon available in the official Matsuya Foods app, the total came down to just 990 yen. Getting a meal this satisfying for under 1,000 yen is definitely a welcome deal.
The tray brought to the counter was generously loaded with the main pork fried steak, a mountain of shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, steamed rice, and a bowl of miso soup.
Served on a wire rack, the rib roast was lavishly topped with sliced onions and a savory ginger sauce filled with visible bits of pork back fat.
Taking my first bite, I found the pork remarkably tender and easy to chew, making it effortless to eat. The sauce packed a punch, blending the savory depth of pork back fat with the sharp bite of ginger into a rich glaze that practically demands another spoonful of white rice with every bite. Mixing in the dollop of mayonnaise added a silky richness that provided a delicious contrast, keeping things interesting all the way to the end.

With melt-in-your-mouth rib roast paired with a punchy, savory glaze, this set meal naturally had me reaching for more rice. Even taking the mobile coupon into account, getting this level of hearty, satisfying meat for under 1,000 yen proves once again how impressive their cost performance is.
