Sukiya Releases Pork Rock Curry on Tuesday, August 18
Sukiya Co., Ltd. (President: Naoki Sasagawa; headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), operator of the beef bowl chain Sukiya, will launch its new Pork Rock Curry from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. The dish tops Sukiya’s signature curry with a hefty chunk of pork known as “Pork Rock,” coated in a special barbecue sauce for serious visual impact. The end date of sales is undecided, and as of August 10 the item is scheduled for 1,992 stores nationwide.
The Towering Pork Rock: Seared, Then Slowly Steamed
The star of the dish, the Pork Rock, is a generous cut of lean pork whose surface is seared before being slowly steamed to finish. The long, gentle cooking produces meat so tender it falls apart with a spoon. Despite its commanding size, it crumbles the moment it hits your mouth, and that contrast is exactly what makes it addictive when eaten in big bites alongside the curry.
A Rich, Smoky Special Barbecue Sauce
The Pork Rock is wrapped in a rich, smoky special barbecue sauce that highlights the natural umami of the pork while blending naturally with Sukiya’s spiced curry. The sweetness of the meat, the toasty depth of the sauce, and the spice of the curry come together so that flavors build with every spoonful.
Double and Triple Meat Options
Alongside the standard Pork Rock Curry with one piece of meat, Sukiya offers Pork Rock Curry Double Meat with two pieces and Pork Rock Curry Triple Meat with three. Rice portions come in four sizes—Mini, Regular, Large and Mega—so diners can mix and match to suit their appetite. A single Pork Rock side order is also available at 400 yen as an add-on to other menu items.
Two Garlic Variations Launching at the Same Time
Two garlic-forward versions arrive on the same day: Garlic Pork Rock Curry, topped with crisp fried garlic, and Garlic Fire Pork Rock Curry, finished with a special flake blend of garlic and chili. The appetite-stirring aroma of garlic pairs superbly with the savory pork, and the “Fire” version is the pick for anyone craving extra heat.
