Matsunoya’s official X account announced on September 30 that it would begin distributing a “Kaisen Sozai Fair” (seafood side dishes) coupon from 3:00 p.m. the same day. It is takeout only, and three combinations of fried items and potatoes all cost 490 yen regardless of their regular price.

On the end date, the post says it is “scheduled for around the end of October,” adding that the fair “may end once promotional materials run out.” The coupon image also carries a note that “this campaign may end without notice.”

Takeout only, three combinations all at 490 yen

The coupon image lists the following three combinations. Each comes with skin-on half potatoes, plus a mini pack of tomato ketchup and a cup of sauce.

Combination Regular Price With Coupon Change
Fried Horse Mackerel 1 pc, Fried Shrimp 1 pc, Fried Oyster 2 pcs, skin-on half potatoes 1,250 yen 490 yen 760 yen off
Pork Loin Cutlet 1 pc (uncut), Fried Oyster 2 pcs, skin-on half potatoes 990 yen 490 yen 500 yen off
Pork Loin Cutlet 1 pc (uncut), Fried Horse Mackerel 1 pc, skin-on half potatoes 940 yen 490 yen 450 yen off

The discount ranges from 450 yen to 760 yen

All three land on the same 490 yen, but because the regular prices span 940 yen to 1,250 yen, the discount varies from 450 yen to 760 yen. For the two combinations built around the Pork Loin Cutlet, the regular price differs by 50 yen depending on whether the paired fried item is Fried Oyster or Fried Horse Mackerel.

The image states that the coupon “can be used at all Matsunoya stores except some locations,” and across the top it declares in large type that it “can also be used at stores co-located with Matsuya.” That is notice that co-located stores treat the combos as Matsunoya items, and at the same time notice that some stores fall outside the offer.

Hold it up to the ticket machine’s reader

A 2D code is printed on the image, with instructions to “first hold this 2D code up to the 2D code reader on the ticket machine.”

The post also notes that “a late-night surcharge applies from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.”

What else falls on 3:00 p.m., September 30

The 3:00 p.m. start on September 30 is the moment several switchovers converge at Matsunoya. The “Aki no Donburi Matsuri” coupon running until then ends at 3:00 p.m. the same day, and the “Autumn Fried Shrimp SALE” is also set to run only until that hour. Meanwhile, the release of the Pork Fried Steak Set Meal w/ Back Fat Ginger Sauce and free rice refills with set meals both begin at the same 3:00 p.m. No gap is left between the old coupons ending and the new one starting.

On this fair, the post says that “the sozai fair, which was very well received last time, is back with seafood.” Matsunoya’s regular menu includes a “Sozai Set” pairing two fried items, but no seafood-branded version is listed.

A word from our Matsunoya novice

Three different prices going in, one price coming out. Price is no longer a reason to pick.
