Matsunoya's Seven Sozai Set Items Drop from 840–1630 Yen to 490 and 890 YenOct 7, 2026

On Matsunoya’s official website, the Sozai Sets on the Side Dishes menu were replaced with seven items on September 30, 2026. Each pairs two or three fried items with fries, priced from 840 yen to 1,630 yen. The five sets other than the two Double Portion listings come in 50 yen below the total of the same contents ordered individually. The same day added a standalone Skin-On French Fries listing and two miso soup listings, while the discounted Fried Shrimp items posted since September 23 came off, returning nine Platter Set Meals to their original item names.

A Flat 50 Yen Below the Individual Total

The listed individual prices are 390 yen for Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc), 300 yen for Fried Shrimp (1 pc), 350 yen for Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc), 400 yen for Fried Oyster (2 pcs), 350 yen for Authentic Karaage (3 pcs), and 200 yen for Skin-On French Fries (Half). Added up according to each combination, all five sets other than the Double Portion listings land exactly 50 yen under the individual total.

Item	Individual Total	Set Price
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Fried Shrimp (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half)	890 yen	840 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half)	940 yen	890 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Authentic Karaage (3 pcs) + Skin-On French Fries (Half)	940 yen	890 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Fried Oyster (2 pcs) + Skin-On French Fries (Half)	990 yen	940 yen
Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc) + Fried Oyster (2 pcs) + Fried Shrimp (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half)	1,250 yen	1,200 yen

The two Double Portion sets cannot be said to carry the same gap, since the menu has no individual listing equivalent to two Pork Loin Cutlets or six pieces of Authentic Karaage.

What Changed: Croquettes Out, Double Portions In

Before the replacement, the Sozai Sets numbered six items, three of which combined two Croquettes.

Item	Price
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Croquette (2 pcs)	650 yen
Authentic Karaage (3 pcs) + Croquette (2 pcs)	610 yen
Fried Shrimp (2 pcs) + Croquette (2 pcs)	810 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Authentic Karaage (3 pcs)	770 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Fried Shrimp (2 pcs)	1,020 yen

Not one of the seven new sets uses Croquette. In their place stand three sets containing either Fried Oyster or Fried Horse Mackerel, plus the two Double Portion listings.

The only combination common to both lineups is Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Authentic Karaage (3 pcs), and its price rose 120 yen, from 770 yen to 890 yen. The fries that come with it also changed from French Fries (Half) to Skin-On French Fries (Half). The 1,020 yen item pairing one Pork Loin Cutlet with two Fried Shrimp is gone, and an 840 yen item with one Fried Shrimp took its place.

Skin-On Fries Also Listed on Their Own

The fries included in the Sozai Sets are now listed as individual items as well.

Item	Price	Energy	Protein	Fat	Carbohydrates	Salt Equivalent
Skin-On French Fries	390 yen	331 kcal	4.4 g	17.4 g	43.0 g	0.7 g
Skin-On French Fries (Half)	200 yen	165 kcal	2.2 g	8.7 g	21.0 g	0.3 g

The French fries already on the menu are 260 yen and the French Fries (Half) 130 yen, putting the skin-on versions 130 yen and 70 yen higher respectively.

Miso Soup Splits into Dine-In and Bento

The standalone miso soup became two listings: Miso Soup with Pork and Vegetables only (Dine-In) at 200 yen and Miso Soup with Pork and Vegetables only (Bento) at 290 yen. Before the replacement it was a single 200 yen listing. The nutrition information is identical for both — 144 kcal, 7.4 g protein, 7.2 g fat, 12.4 g carbohydrates, 3.4 g salt equivalent — leaving the 90 yen gap as the only difference.

Both listings carry a store-limited menu note, but the range of carrying stores is not stated.
