Matsusaka beef is one of the three most famous Japanese beef brands. Deliciously fragrant and melt-in-the-mouth tender, it is also packed with healthy unsaturated fatty acids. Its incredible flavor has earned this premium wagyu beef brand a domestic and international reputation as a “work of art.” Two places in Mie Prefecture where diners can enjoy this incredible beef in the dishes of sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, or steak are Sukiyaki Gyushabu Matsuju and Restaurant ASAHIYA Nagashima-ten.
Sukiyaki Gyushabu Matsuju in Tsu City is about one minute on foot from the east exit of Tsu Station, which is on both the JR Kisei Line and the Kintetsu Nagoya Line. Lunch consists of set menus, while Matsusaka beef sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and steak courses are served for dinner. It’s a popular place to enjoy luxurious Matsusaka beef and a convenient stop on a sightseeing trip to Mie Prefecture, which is also famous for the Ise Shrine and Mikimoto Pearl Island.
Restaurant ASAHIYA Nagashima-ten is located inside the Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima, which is next to the famous amusement park Nagashima Spa Land. Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima is easy to reach by direct bus from Nagoya Station and Central Japan International Airport Centrair in neighboring Aichi Prefecture. Along with Matsusaka beef steak, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu, the restaurant offers casual and affordable menu options perfect for families, such as rice bowls, Japanese Hamburg steak, and children’s meals.
Both restaurants are run by a Tsu City butcher shop that has been in business for over 60 years. With this expertise developed over many years, the butchers carefully and expertly purchase whole Matsusaka cows so that the restaurants can serve diners delicious Matsusaka beef of the very highest quality at a reasonable price.
Sukiyaki Gyushabu Matsuju and Restaurant ASAHIYA Nagashima-ten are perfect for anyone wanting to experience world-famous Matsusaka beef. The delicious melt-in-your-mouth texture and flavor of this delicacy is truly astonishing.
