New Flavor Alert: Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice from Matsunoya
Matsunoya, a beloved tonkatsu chain operated by Matsuya Foods based in Musashino, Tokyo, is excited to announce the launch of its latest menu item, the
Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice. Available from 3 PM on September 9, 2026, this dish promises to tantalize taste buds with its unique combination of flavors that embody the essence of early autumn dining.
A Perfect Harmony of Flavors
The
Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice is a luxurious dish that uses a base of rich hayashi sauce, a classic in Western-style cuisine. The sauce is crafted from perfectly ripened tomatoes, delivering a refreshing tang that complements the robust umami flavors. By adding creamy and rich cheese to this mix, each bite offers a delightful and silky smoothness that spreads across the palate.
This new dish will be available in two variations, designed to cater to different tastes and preferences. The first is the
Plain Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice, allowing diners to enjoy the simple, yet delightful combination of cheese and tomato without distractions. The second option pairs the dish with Matsunoya’s signature crispy tonkatsu:
- - Roast Pork Cutlet Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice: This version features the tender and juicy roast pork cutlet that harmoniously blends with the creamy cheese and tangy tomato.
- - Extra Thick Ribeye Cutlet Cheese Tomato Hayashi Rice: For those seeking an indulgent experience, this option includes a thick, juicy ribeye cutlet that enhances the rich tomato flavor, creating an exquisite taste experience.
Diners can pick their favorite based on mood or hunger, making for a personalized dining experience. Whether you are in the mood for something rich or simple, Matsunoya's new offerings cater to both desires.

780 yen, while the Roast Pork Cutlet version is
