Yakiniku Matsusaka Dotonbori (How to reserve, how to go, and what to expect)

I have friends who have constantly told me to try Matsusaka beef since they know I will love it. I want to take my parents there since it was a highly recommended restaurant but upon looking at the menu, I knew that my parents will not pay that much for food. So, when my dad and I booked our trip to Osaka, I decided to treat him instead.

There are a lot of branches for Yakiniku Matsusaka in Osaka, there are 5 around Dotonbori area and 1 in Umeda.

While looking at the choices from their branches, I decided that we’ll be dining at M Dotonbori.

You can head to their website – specifically for M Dotonbori here. You can select their other branches from the link, as well.

How to book :

1
scroll down the page, you’ll see the word “reserve” on the right side. click reserve

when you see “your reservation is confirmed” then it means your reservation pushed through!

Now all you have to do is wait for the date when you reserved!

After eating, I told my dad that the Matsusaka beef was amazing. I finally understood why it was raved by a lot of people. I honestly want to go back again!

I’m so glad I was able to treat my dad here!! He loved the food, as well!
