Yakiniku Matsusaka (Matsusaka M) Hanare Branch 松阪牛焼肉M 法善寺店はなれ (How to reserve, how to go, and what to expect)

I love Matsusaka M! I’ve eaten at the Namba branch before, but this one is closer to where we stayed.

I made a reservation, just like I did before!

I sent a message to their Instagram and that’s where I was able to make a reservation! Their Instagram handle is @matsusaka_m.

It’s inside a building beside Ikinari Steak.

there’s an elevator to the 2nd floor heading straight to the restaurant!
what you’ll see as soon as the doors open
you have to take off your shoes since it’s a tatami room

they had our table ready as soon as we arrived
so sweet as always!

I forgot to take a photo of the menu 😭 but you can check it online – https://matsusaka-projects.com/english/shop/houzenji-hanare

These are what we got.

While we were waiting, the staff explained Matsusaka beef and its different cuts to us — a first for me! It was interesting to learn about its history!

They brought out the different cuts of beef included in our order (that’s not everything they have; they’ll only serve us the cuts based on what we ordered).

After, they served the sushi set!

The staff then served us the cut for the sukiyaki, WHICH I ENJOYED SO MUCH! It was my first time having this, and I absolutely loved it. I would definitely order this again!

After we had the sukiyaki, our rice and meat were served. I really enjoyed our meal here!

When we arrived, they asked if we were celebrating my dad’s birthday, even though he didn’t want me to mention it. 😭

The staff asked us if he had a favorite cartoon or anime, and he said Voltes V. The staff didn’t know what it was, though… AGE GAP AHAHAHA!

When they noticed that we had finished eating, they surprised him! He was really happy, and it was so touching ❤️.

It was also my first time meeting Kuni in person. Such a nice guy! ❤️

all photos were taken using an iPhone 17 Pro Max / Fujifilm X-T20 18-55 mm

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Osaka! I would bring anyone here and will always, ALWAYS come back every time I’m in the city.

It was also my mom’s first time here!! I can’t wait to bring my brother one day.
