Often fully booked and widely praised as the destination for yakiniku in Osaka, Matsusaka Gyu Yakiniku M has enjoyed overwhelming popularity since before the pandemic.
Now open to reservations through My Concierge Japan, the Hozenji Hanare branch is one of five locations across Osaka City. Nestled in the heart of the Namba entertainment district, it sits just steps away from iconic Osaka landmarks such as the Dotonbori Bridge and the famous Glico neon sign—offering outstanding access for both locals and visitors alike.
Among Japan’s top three wagyu brands—Kobe, Matsusaka, and Omi—Matsusaka Beef is the rarest, with extremely limited availability. Matsusaka Gyu Yakiniku M purchases whole Matsusaka cattle directly from Matsusaka City in Mie Prefecture, allowing the restaurant to serve an expertly curated selection of cuts that bring out the full richness and depth of flavor unique to this premium wagyu.
In 2018, Sister store Matsusaka Gyu Yakiniku M Hozenji Yokocho Branch was honored as Japan’s #1 restaurant and Asia’s #5 in the Trip Advisor’s Travelers Choice Restaurant Awards, and received the prestigious Trip Advisor’s Best of the Best title again in 2020.
A calm, Japanese-inspired interior and multilingual staff from around the world create a welcoming environment where guests can enjoy warm, attentive hospitality.
Whether you’re from Japan or visiting from abroad, Yakiniku M delivers the finest in Japanese yakiniku and the unforgettable taste of true Matsusaka beef.
