This is a reference translation. The Japanese version is the authoritative original.

On October 28, 2026, 12 takeout-oriented “Sozai Set” items built around the Minced Meat Cutlet appeared on the menu page of Matsunoya’s official website. Two are priced at 590 yen and ten at 790 yen, and every item name is listed with a 【Sozai Set】 prefix.

The October 23 official notice lists 15 items by name for the Minced Meat Cutlet going on sale at 15:00 on October 28 — eight Set Meals and seven single items — but no Sozai Sets are among them. As listed at 14:57, these 12 items appeared alongside two Platter Set Meals (990 yen) plus Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce only and Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce & Cheese only.

There are six combinations of contents, each offered with either Umatoma sauce or Demi-glace Sauce. Comparing pairs that differ only in sauce, the Demi-glace Sauce version is higher in calories, fat, carbohydrates and salt equivalent across the board, and the calorie gap holds at roughly 35kcal in all six pairs. Protein alone runs 0.2g lower.

The Ten 790-Yen Items Add One Minced Meat Cutlet to the 490-Yen Sets

The Sozai Sets already include five items at 490 yen and two Double Portion items at 890 yen. The ten 790-yen items take all five of those 490-yen combinations — Pork Loin Cutlet + Fried Oyster (2 pcs), Pork Loin Cutlet + Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc), Pork Loin Cutlet + Fried Shrimp (1 pc), Pork Loin Cutlet + Authentic Karaage (3 pcs), and Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc) + Fried Oyster (2 pcs) + Fried Shrimp (1 pc), all served with Skin-On French Fries (Half) — and add one Minced Meat Cutlet. The price gap is a flat 300 yen regardless of combination.

The Minced Meat Cutlet is also listed on its own, with one piece plus either Umatoma sauce or Demi-glace Sauce at 490 yen. Added into a set, it works out 190 yen cheaper.

490 to 950 Yen Less Than Buying the Items Separately

Every component is also listed as a single item. Totaling those prices and setting them against the set prices gives the following.

Details Set Price Individual Total Change
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Minced Meat Cutlet (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half) 590 yen 1,080 yen -490 yen
Pork Loin Cutlet (1 pc) + Fried Oyster (2 pcs) + Minced Meat Cutlet (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half) 790 yen 1,480 yen -690 yen

Fried Horse Mackerel (1 pc) + Fried Oyster (2 pcs) + Fried Shrimp (1 pc) + Minced Meat Cutlet (1 pc) + Skin-On French Fries (Half) 790 yen 1,740 yen -950 yen

The listed single-item prices used for the totals are Pork Loin Cutlet (1 Piece) at 390 yen, Minced Meat Cutlet only (1 pc) at 490 yen, Fried Oyster only (2 pcs) at 400 yen, Fried Horse Mackerel only (1 pc) at 350 yen, Fried Shrimp (1 Piece) at 300 yen, Japanese Authentic Fried Chicken(3 Pieces) at 350 yen, and Skin-On French Fries (Half) at 200 yen.

The Platter Set Meals Are 990 Yen, Matching the Authentic Karaage Pairing

Item Price Calories Protein Fat Carbohydrates Salt Equivalent
Pork Loin Cutlet & Minced Meat Cutlet (Tomato Sauce) Set Meal 990 yen 1171kcal 37.2g 55.8g 134.9g 4.6g
Pork Loin Cutlet & Minced Meat Cutlet (Demi-glace Sauce) Set Meal 990 yen 1207kcal 37.0g 58.0g 139.3g 5.1g

Thirteen Platter Set Meals are listed, and 990 yen is the same price as PorkLoinCutlet&Japanese Authentic FriedChicken. That puts the pair just above the cheapest item, PorkLoinCutlet&FriedShrimp(1P) at 970 yen, and below the Extra Thick-Cut Rib Loin Cutlet group that runs from 1,250 to 1,530 yen.

The notice’s description called it the Loin & Minced Meat Cutlet Set Meal, but the item-name list and the menu page split it into an Umatoma sauce version and a Demi-glace Sauce version.

Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce only Is 690 Yen, the Same as the Umatoma Version

Item Price Calories Protein Fat Carbohydrates Salt Equivalent
Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce only 690 yen 674kcal 26.2g 44.6g 41.5g 3.8g
Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Demi-glace Sauce & Cheese only 890 yen 833kcal 34.3g 57.9g 43.0g 4.8g

On the Umatoma sauce side, Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Tomato sauce is already listed at 690 yen and Pork Loin Cutlet w/ Tomato Sauce & Cheese at 890 yen, so both Demi-glace Sauce items come in at identical prices. The step for adding cheese is also the same 200 yen.
