About this place
For a hearty meal of thick-cut pork with rice, consider the Thick-Cut Pork Ginger Set Meal. One diner who ordered the ginger pork at the Kitami branch described a generous serving of 7 slices of pork, with a lightly sweet seasoning and a pronounced garlic flavour. In their view, the garlic came through more strongly than the ginger, making the pork the kind of dish that prompts you to reach for another mouthful of rice. They also mentioned dipping the vegetables in the sauce, evoking the back-and-forth between rice and side dishes that makes a set meal satisfying.
Some diners single out the rice itself. One said they ordered an extra serving of rice alongside a large set-meal portion; the diner who reviewed the ginger pork also praised the rice’s distinct grains, fluffy texture and sweetness that emerges as you chew. If you’re especially hungry, a set meal with a choice of rice portion may be worth considering. The menu includes bowls with different seasonings, such as gyūmeshi and gyūmeshi with grated daikon and ponzu, as well as a set pairing miso-simmered mackerel with a small beef plate. You can choose a meal centred on a beef bowl or combine a fish dish with an extra side. The rice set with miso-simmered mackerel is listed as a branch-exclusive option with a free large rice serving.
Matsuya Kitami serves breakfast and is open 24 hours a day. It is described as suitable for solo dining, making it an option for a bowl of gyūmeshi or a set meal, whether you’re eating in the morning or looking for a meal later in the day.
