Dinner with B, my junior, for the first time in a while!
I've been looking for a new job since the beginning of this year, so we haven't been able to go out for dinner.
I'm glad to hear that you got the job safely, though I've been complaining a lot!
I asked him what he wanted to eat. I asked him what he wanted to eat, and he sent me this link to Matasaburo's!
It's been a while, so let's go out with him.
We made a reservation for a table only and decided on the menu on the day of our visit!
Tasting Course 《Minimum 2 persons》 ¥5,400 per person
Chef's homemade appetizer
Thick cut aged steak (100g for two persons)
Matasaburo's special thick-cut aged meat, carefully grilled to perfection
Grilled meat of the day
A: 5 kinds of meat or
B: 4 kinds of meat + 3 kinds of hormone
Ume dashi chazuke or rice and soup
Patissier Takami's dessert
Aged Meat and Yakiniku Course 《from 2 persons》 ¥6,800 per person
Appetizer to go with the aged meat
Thick cut steak of aged meat (170g for two persons + vegetables for garnish)
Today's recommended grilled meat
Five kinds of regular meat
Ume dashi chazuke or rice and soup
Patissier Takami's dessert
There are two types of courses that can be ordered on the same day, so go for the more expensive one anyway!
We ordered the 6800 yen course!
Cold soup
Paprika soup, cold and delicious!
It is elegant with a hint of paprika aroma and aftertaste!
Tongue sashimi
The crunchy texture is delicious!
The thickness of the tongue makes you feel it even more so!
Raw food should be eaten quickly!
Appetizers
This was delicious the last time we had it, and it's good again this time!
Aged cured ham, sausage and salted bread are really good!
It looks a little sad for two people, doesn't it?
Salad
Refreshing with a slightly sour dressing!
It is a good way to settle your stomach before eating meat!
Aged Meat
On this day, we had Iwate Prefecture black breed Sotohira!
As expected, this was the third time for me to cook the meat, so I'm used to grilling it a few times and then letting it rest!
So I was able to wait patiently, but I was a little annoyed that my junior couldn't eat it fast enough...
Again, the meat was grilled to perfection!
The third time was also delicious!
The more I chewed, the more the flavorful ingredients spread in my mouth!
This is it~ this is aged meat!
After eating this, I can't help but think that all the waiting was worth it!
I'm so glad that my junior enjoyed it as much as I did!
Five kinds of aged meat
Kalbi, loin, and harami (what was it? ・・・・)
Beautiful color of meat!
All of them were so tender and gone so quickly!
It makes me happy!
Rice and soup
I want to eat rice to finish!
It's a little soft and my favorite!
But I don't think I want soup at the end, even though it was soup at the beginning.
Dessert
The choice of dessert is a really nice point!
I chose vanilla ice cream and American cherries for something lighter!
The cherries were thick and had just the right amount of tartness and sweetness!
The ice cream with vanilla flavor is so delicious!
And we had a surprise for you this time too!
It was my junior's birthday month, so I ordered a platter to celebrate her new job as well!
I had done it for a friend last time and she was so happy...
I'm glad she was happy too!
If they could, I hope they would change the sweets of the course to an assortment.
I'm pretty full, but two kinds of desserts are heavy...
Again, the aged meat was delicious! Thank you very much for the meal!

On the way home from a certain meat-eating girls' night out, I asked if there was a restaurant we could go to. I asked her.
The immediate answer was "Matasaburo!
We hadn't been there since a while ago, so we decided to go to Matasaburo for our next girls' night out! And here we are!
We wanted to make a reservation for around 7pm on Saturday, but the restaurant was as popular as ever and we were only able to make a reservation at 9pm!
All the members live in Kita-Osaka... This would be a big problem if we didn't take care of the last train!
We gathered at 21:00 in the pouring rain!
It was already pretty hard to hold out until 9pm!
We were shown to our seats, the same table as two years ago!
It's strange how many different seats there are!
Now to order. Last time I enjoyed the course.
But when I consulted with a person who is very knowledgeable about yakiniku in advance, he told me that it would be better to enjoy both aged meat and regular yakiniku!
I followed his advice and decided to go for the regular yakiniku style this time!
First, we chose the aged meat!
I chose Tosa Red Beef Lamb Ichi and Yamagata Black Wagyu Beef Tofu!
As before, we grilled the fatty and lean chunks of lamb ichi and let them rest... and repeated this process many times!
I'm so hungry, but I can't wait!
But the meat was grilled while it was resting, so it was stress-free for us too!
First, we ordered a bottle of champagne.
Three kinds of salted tongue: Specially selected salted tongue, rich salted tongue, and scallion salted tongue.
We ordered four slices each, so the price was 3,780 yen!
Tongue has a delicious crispy texture, but this one is very tender!
Ahhh, the best bliss for the hungry!
Special tang yukke style 1,450 yen
The egg yolk is so good!
But it was not enough for the four of us to share!
Butcher's wine appetizer for two!
You can see the process of making this and it looks so delicious and colorfully decorated!
And the appetizers for two are cut into portions that are easy to share among the four of us!
This kind of thoughtfulness really makes me happy!
The ham, corned beef, and sausage are all very tasty!
They were so much better than the pictures on the menu, I was so excited!
The aged meat is ready!
The meat was cut into 8 slices and shared by all!
Put the lamb chops in your mouth and chew them, and the fat and flavor will spread out!
The more you chew, the more and more fat and flavor comes out!
Ah~ it's delicious after all!
The chili peppers are lean and light!
Compared to ramuchi, the texture is more firm and elastic!
The more you chew, the happier your mouth will be!
We also had some other dishes such as Harami and Tecchan!
I thought it would be too fatty because of the heavy frosting....
I thought it would be too greasy, but it wasn't greasy at all! Lime goes so well with it!
After a while of enjoying the yakiniku, "Congratulations!"
A member asked for a surprise since it was his birthday month!
The dessert platter was of a much better quality than we had expected, and we were all excited!
We had been communicating with each other via e-mail until this day!
I'm so glad we asked for this!
and chestnut-loving members of the group, so chocolate and Shibukawa chestnut marron grapefruit granite parfait!
This was a quick and easy meal for the four of us!
Finally, the restaurant gave us a smoothie!
Last time, I thought the service was a bit........
This time, the service lady was very attentive and polite!
She was very nice and we had a great time!
Meat is so delicious!
It's a bit far to Nagai, but I want to go back to eat there!
2014,01
Ranked No. 1 in Japan x Yakiniku Ranking! (as of 2014,02)
I am surprised that it was a restaurant in Osaka!
It's the hottest dry aged matured meat restaurant Mata Saburo in Nagai!
This time, 12 of us visited!
As for Yakiniku, various parts of meat are available, but if you order it by itself, it will be a big deal!
So we ordered the aged meat course (6,500 yen), which is limited to those who ordered in quantity and made reservations, for 778 yen per person!
The manager worked very hard to make sure that each of us could have a piece of this beef tongue!
The interior of the restaurant is so casual French that it doesn't feel like a yakiniku restaurant!
The menu is too much for this time, so please check the website for more information!

This time we had aged meat from Uchihira, Iwate Prefecture, Filet, Shimane Prefecture.
A big hunk of meat will be shown to each table!
The toast starts with a glass of Cava!
Vegetable échouvet - a dish that is steamed without water or broth, using only the water content of the ingredients (wiki).
The meat is grilled on a wavy net by the chef.
Aged meat pie - the meat is packed with flavor!
This was quite delicious!
Aged Meat Bouillon Soup I didn't understand what this was...
I will have the tongue first and then the tongue root!
Tongue tips with lemon and tongue yuan with grapefruit
I have never had such a juicy tongue. !!!!!
The moment you bite into it, your mouth is full of fat!
I want to eat more! I want to eat more!
At this point, I think I've grilled the chunks earlier, wrapped them in aluminum, and steamed them at least three times.
Watching it just bake might be torture in a way (sweat).
The meat that had just been grilled was cut into pieces.
The main dish of the day is ready!
This arrangement is just like a French course!
Thanks to the chef who grilled it, it was a very nice medium rare!
And the meat is delicious after a long wait! Delicious! Delicious!
I have never tasted anything like it before (this was the second time that day), the sweetness of the meat, the fat, the aroma, everything is unleashed at once!
It makes you feel like you've waited long enough!
I have never tasted rock salt like this before, and I was shocked!
I'm going to finish with ume chazuke to refresh myself!
And, to our delight, you can choose from a selection of sweets made by the patissier!
The four of us shared our table!
Chocolate cake
Baked Cheesecake
Marron Cake
Fruit compote parfait
We were so happy to have both delicious meat and delicious desserts!
It was a barbecue restaurant that did not fit the genre of a barbecue restaurant!
Well, when the price per unit goes up, you inevitably demand a higher level of customer service...
The staff here were not very good, and I felt that there were many disappointing aspects.
I was going to write about them in detail, but I have to leave it at that.
Good food, great customer service, and good prices, so you want to leave with a good feeling!
