Welcome to New Matsuzaka Nanbamidosujiten

“ We decided to try this on a recommendation as this steakhouse has been around for quite a while (since 1956) with numerous branches, and its Namba branch offers both Kobe and Matsusaka beef. Reservations are recommended as the steakhouse was full when we arrived, but service was brisk and efficient and we were ushered to our counter seat promptly. We both ordered the New Matsusaka course (¥9,900), but topped up for Kobe and Matsusaka sirloin (¥6,000) respectively so that we could try both. The course starts off with a h’ors devours, followed by flame-broiled wagyu sushi, grilled cabbage, and a choice of your first main (I chose the grilled spiny lobster). Your second main comprises the beef, and the chef was kind enough to give us a half portion of each order so we could try Kobe and Matsusaka beef side-by-side. At this restaurant, I found the Matsusaka to have a richer, more buttery flavour. It was very close to eating butter, except with a beefy flavour, and went down easily without having to bite much. The Kobe was less buttery but had a meatier texture and more bite. It was great that we split both orders, as I think a full Matsusaka order might have been too rich and heavy for one person. The meat also came with grilled vegetables, followed by a carb to finish off. We got the garlic fried rice and the wagyu chazuke. Dessert was a lovely sponge butter cake topped with marron or chestnut paste and fresh cream. What a sweet and delightful end to a fantastic (and substantial) meal. We enjoyed our counter-seating with our chef cooking for us. We could tell from how each dish - including the beef - was perfectly cooked to our liking that our chef was skilled and experienced. We also enjoyed the tiny performances like setting the beef on fire before serving it to us; very entertaining. ”

“ A great experience! Was recommended this place by an Australian restaurateur when I did some research was a little dubious as usually don’t like chain restaurants but I was wrong to doubt my son and I had the best steak of our lives and it was a lovely experience. Great to watch the chefs do their thing in front of you in a nice setting while jazz played in the background. Very good value for money. Liked it so much thinking of going to their Tokyo branch when the rest of our family join us. ”

“ A great dinning experience with exquisite surf & turf course! We’ve upgrade the anniversary course wt Kobe beef, the fire performance was an eye opening! Staff was nice & accommodating to our baby’s needs! Great service! ”
