This yakiniku place buys whole Matsusaka cattle from farmers, so you can compare cuts from short rib to skirt to offal. It sits on the flagstoned Hozenji Yokocho lane, home of the moss-covered Mizukake Fudo statue, so dinner ends with a walk through the alley. Reviews often mention staff explaining each cut and grilling it for you, and there is Matsusaka beef nigiri and a ramen made from the bones. Sets start around ¥3,800, a gentle entry point for a famous wagyu.
