"Ram Cutlet Set Meal (1,090 yen, tax included) Serving time: Approximately 12 minutes Owned by Matsuya Foods, "Tonkatsu Matsunoya" is offering a limited-time lamb cutlet. As a fan of lamb, I decided to try it out. I visited around 11 PM and was surprised to find it quite crowded. Perhaps the lack of other options late at night contributed to this. First, I made my payment at the ticket machine next to the entrance and took a seat of my choice. The rice comes in three sizes: default 200g, small 130g, large 350g, all at the same price. It took about 12 minutes to be called for my order, which seemed a bit longer for a fast-food chain. - Ram Cutlet Set Meal (1,090 yen) The set includes lamb cutlet, shredded cabbage, rémoulade sauce, Andes red salt, white rice, and miso soup. There are also various sauces and dressings on the table for different flavor options. The rémoulade (horseradish) sauce is made by mixing horseradish with mayonnaise and apple vinegar, with bits of horseradish visible. The lamb has a unique flavor due to its nature, but the meat is tender and flavorful. The crispy coating, although strong in flavor, didn't quite match with the meat, making it not the best "cutlet," but I found it tastier than the pork cutlet I had tried at the same chain before. Considering the price range, I felt the potential of lamb as an ingredient and found it more delicious than pork or chicken. This aspect added value to the experience."

I was curious about a new product at Matsunoya where cherry tomatoes, pumpkin, and okra are wrapped in pork and fried, so I went to Matsunoya to try it with a friend. The restaurant had partitions, making it clear that it's not a place for lingering. It seems they prefer individual dining, but this time the chicken tenderloin and vegetable wrapped in pork set menu was reasonably priced. My friend ordered extra chicken tenderloin, which was better with more garlic butter. The vegetable wrapped in pork was not very tasty because the vegetables were frozen. Well, it can't be helped. In terms of taste, I personally think Matsunoya is better than Katsuya. However, I found it a bit strange that they offer drinks like Fanta in the drink set, and I was hesitant to pair Fanta Grape with white rice. The carrot and cabbage dressing was delicious though.

Matsunoya is currently holding a one-coin sale until June 21st to celebrate reaching 300 stores. As someone who can't resist words like "limited time" and "sale," I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go. Last time, I ordered the pork cutlet set with a side of potato salad, so this time I went for the miso pork cutlet set, which was originally 690 yen but discounted to 500 yen. I sat down and reflected on Matsunoya's journey to 300 stores while waiting. When a mechanical female voice called out my number, I went to the counter to pick up my order. The display showed the waiting time, which was very convenient. The miso sauce for the pork cutlet set came in a separate container, allowing you to pour it over the cutlet or dip it in. I'm a dipper. The unique miso flavor spread throughout my mouth as I ate. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I went to a matsunoya restaurant for the first time in my life. I lined up for the 500 yen lunch, bought a meal ticket by myself, waited to be called at the counter, received my meal, ate it, and then returned the tray at the return counter. Self-service for tea as well. It felt like everyone in the restaurant was all together as one!

Behind the Wins in Kinshicho, there is a tonkatsu chain restaurant called Matsunoya. I heard they were having a one-coin sale to celebrate reaching 300 stores, so I decided to visit. When I went on the first day, there were no signs of the one-coin sale anywhere, and the ticket machine displayed regular prices. I was confused, only to find out later that the sale started at 3 pm... Feeling frustrated, I left without buying a ticket and went to a nearby cheap Chinese restaurant called Tenjungenyuan. The next day, I came back for a lunch rematch. The two-week campaign offered chicken cutlet with various options for 500 yen including tax during the first week. The options were green onion salt, green onion miso, tartar, and plain potato salad, with the regular price being 790 yen. The 290 yen discount felt like a good deal. I chose tartar sauce to go with the chicken cutlet and paid an extra 100 yen to change the miso soup to pork soup, making it a total of 600 yen. You can get free refills of rice and miso soup, and also request extra rice from the beginning. If you change the soup to pork soup, the refill will be miso soup. The restaurant has upgraded to a modern touch panel ticket machine, and the overall atmosphere has become brighter and cleaner. While the previous rough U-shaped counter setup near the off-track betting area had a certain charm, the new cleanliness is also nice. Orders are taken at the ticket machine, and customers are responsible for getting their own tea, wiping tables, and returning dishes. The ratio of male to female customers was 9 to 1. The ticket machine accepts various payment methods. Matsuya Foods deserves credit for actively using IT to address labor shortages. I initially thought it was annoying to wait in line for the ticket machine, but it actually helps the restaurant maintain a good flow and ensures that there are always available seats. It's a well-thought-out system. I noticed that many customers were handing something to the staff at the counter after purchasing their tickets, and I realized that they were using paper coupons. Apparently, they distribute coupons from Monday to Wednesday, which can be used even during the campaign to add croquettes or potato salad. Getting a set meal with tartar chicken cutlet for 500 yen, including croquettes, and unlimited rice and miso soup refills, is definitely a good deal. The chicken cutlet was small and the meat was thin, but the crispy coating was well-done thanks to the research and development capabilities of a major corporation. The meat may seem cheap, but the sauce was tasty and went well with the tartar sauce, making it enjoyable. However, I thought the usual price of 790 yen was a bit high for the portion size. But considering the constant price increases these days, maybe it's just the way things are. The dressing was light and the cabbage was a good accompaniment, although you can't get refills of cabbage. While there were no condiments on the table, changing to pork soup for an extra 100 yen was worth it as it was flavorful with plenty of root vegetables. In a time of rising prices, this was much appreciated. Curious about the coupons, I ended up going back for a second visit during the first half of the following week and ordered the same thing again. This time, I got the one-coin tonkatsu with croquettes! To be honest, the potato salad and furikake coupons seemed a bit underwhelming, so I didn't use them.

Pork Cutlet Bowl - 630 yen. I was hungry so I got a pork cutlet bowl... Wasn't there a top loin cutlet bowl? Comes with miso soup. It's a classic taste. The flavor is good but more on the normal side. Considering the price, I am satisfied. I wish there was a Yoshinoya or Matsunoya near my house.

I heard from a colleague about a cost-effective restaurant where they always have lunch, so I decided to visit for the first time. I actually wanted to come last month, but the place was undergoing renovations, so my first visit got delayed. I had a bit of trouble with the ticket machine, but the prices were really cheap! I ordered the double pork cutlet with less rice. I didn't have to wait long before being called to the counter to pick up my meal, which consisted of rice, pork cutlet, cabbage, and miso soup - a simple combination. The double pork cutlet lived up to its name with a generous portion, and the taste was decent. The cabbage with sudachi dressing provided a refreshing break for the palate, but the miso soup was a bit mediocre. The rice was above average. In conclusion, the cost performance is excellent, and I have decided to add this place to my lunch rotation.

Exploring breakfast options in Kinshicho, I stumbled upon a flashy restaurant called Matsunoya. They recently renovated into a self-service establishment and are offering a special sale to celebrate their opening. I couldn't resist trying it out. They had three options on sale for just 500 yen each: grated ponzu sauce pork cutlet set, miso pork cutlet set, and pork cutlet set with potato salad topping (usually priced at 690 yen). I chose the pork cutlet set with potato salad topping from the ticket machine at the entrance, then waited for my number to be called. The food was served promptly at the counter, and I returned to my seat to enjoy it. The potato salad topping was a classic choice and the tonkatsu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The self-service concept allowed for unlimited rice and miso soup refills, making it a great deal. Overall, it was a satisfying meal and I would recommend trying it out.

I used to always order the regular pork cutlet bowl at Matsunoya, but after trying the premium pork cutlet, I became a fan of it. I was able to get a seat right away, but had to wait a bit due to a large number of take-out orders. The premium pork cutlet is thick and satisfying to eat. I recommend the premium pork cutlet which is worth more than its price.

I tried the miso tonkatsu set meal for 690 yen with a small portion of rice. The miso flavor was delicious. The tonkatsu was slightly thin but just the right amount. Wait, isn't the meat placed upside down? The fatty part was on the bottom. I also liked the carrot dressing. However, the sauce container was sticky and almost empty. It was a bit disappointing. It was still before lunchtime so it wasn't crowded yet.

Before going to the gym with my junior, he ate this oily food in front of the gym, saying that I'm the only one who eats like that. Even though I said it's protein, everyone else seems to only eat things like chicken breast or protein bars. Oh well, don't worry about it. Lately, I've had a big appetite, so I ended up getting a double portion of tonkatsu. It was delicious as usual.

I want to eat protein, but I also want to eat white rice and oily foods. While my colleague is on a diet and eating a protein bar purchased from a convenience store, I am enjoying rosukatsu, sasami katsu, and karaage at this restaurant. The sasami katsu is currently being offered with one extra piece for free. It's delicious as usual! 😍

I stayed overnight for work and decided to have breakfast in Kinshicho. I went to "Matsunoya". I have had the tonkatsu and karaage set before, but it was my first time having breakfast there. I found it on Tabelog with a rare high score of 3.2 for a chain restaurant, so I had some expectations. Since tonkatsu in the morning seemed heavy, I opted for the sausage and egg set. It came with two sunny-side-up eggs, sausage, your choice of nori or salad, miso soup, and rice (you can choose to have a large portion for free). All of this for only 390 yen, what a great value! The menu was solid with no misses, so it was just delicious. I got carried away and chose the large rice portion, so it was quite challenging towards the end. Bon appétit! 3.20

Nutritious pre-workout meal. Lately, my appetite seems to increase with age. I eat a lot, to the point where people ask me how much I can eat. This chain restaurant, which is apparently affiliated with Matsuya, serves decent food. The pork cutlet is neither outstanding nor terrible. It's affordable and a good deal.

Before going to the gym, I suddenly felt like eating katsu curry, so I came here. It was reliably delicious. I couldn't help but feel that the curry was a bit salty, but it was still within an acceptable range. The katsu was crispy and freshly fried, which was great considering the price.

Located just around the corner from the famous Maguro Butsu at the south exit of Kinshicho Station, this chain restaurant specializes in tonkatsu. This was my first time visiting the Kinshicho branch, and I was in the mood for a hearty meal. I ordered the loin cutlet set meal and couldn't resist adding a side of oyster fry from the vending machine. The slightly smaller yet thick cutlet in the set meal for 590 yen was satisfying for anyone. I enjoyed the freshly fried, piping hot tonkatsu and oyster fry. Thank you for the delicious meal.

When going to the gym, I like to get some nutrition from Matsuya's group of restaurants. I think there should be more of these types of shops because they are convenient, reasonably priced, and tasty. I don't think the katsudon or katsu curry are incredibly delicious, but they have a decent quality. Just for your reference.

This shop feels like it could easily have many other delicious options. The tonkatsu and karaage are always popular. I couldn't decide between katsukare and this, but I chose this one. It was just delicious. I'm glad I went with it.

Before going to the gym, I always feel like going to this restaurant. The tonkatsu here is not particularly delicious, but it's the kind of place that makes you want to eat it. Those kinds of places are rare. The fried chicken has changed its form. It might be better than before. However, I recommend the katsu curry.

The pork cutlet set meal in the style of escabeche costs 690 yen. I ordered the pork cutlet instead of the fish because I thought it would be escabeche-style if it were Spanish. Normally, escabeche is made with fish like mackerel. The regular pork cutlet set meal comes with pickled onions and carrots on top. It might go better with a sudachi dressing. The foreign staff may not be good at Japanese, but I think they should be more energetic and cheerful when serving customers. I remember that the Japanese female staff members were bright and cheerful when I came here before.
