Flow of the course

About this spot

An established Matsusaka beef restaurant with over 120 years of history, founded in 1902 (Meiji 35). In the charming wooden building with tatami mat seating, attentive servers prepare the traditional sukiyaki right before your eyes—truly the highlight of this journey. The Matsusaka beef, quickly grilled in a proprietary sauce, melts on your tongue with a sweet, marbled tenderness that brings smiles to grandparents and grandchildren alike. The discerning eye of this longstanding restaurant, which exclusively handles carefully selected Matsusaka beef, is renowned locally. A worthy indulgent lunch to commemorate this three-generation outing. The quiet tatami seating allows families with small children to enjoy a leisurely meal.

Tips

About a 10-minute walk from Matsusaka Station, also accessible on foot from the Oshiro-ban Yashiki. As a popular established restaurant, advance reservations for the sukiyaki tatami seating are recommended. If you prefer to keep costs down, the adjacent Gyugin Western restaurant offers casual options like beef donburi. It's wise to carry extra cash for the traditional establishment's payment window.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 1.5 hours. Making a reservation and arriving around 12:30 PM ensures smooth service and ties in well with afternoon plans.
