The restaurant is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, located within a shopping street. On a Sunday around 7 PM, the restaurant was quite crowded with many foreign customers. I would recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit. I ordered the Yamatogyu sukiyaki course for 6,600 yen, which includes a personal room fee of 220 yen. Although it's called a course, the meal comes on one plate with tuna sashimi, ham, and boiled vegetables. Then, you have sukiyaki along with rice and miso soup, giving it a set meal feel. The staff prepares the sukiyaki using a special sauce and white dashi. The portion of meat was 120 grams, but with the rice, I found it to be quite satisfying. Thank you for the meal!

This is a review of a restaurant that serves sukiyaki made with Yamato beef, a brand of beef from Nara Prefecture. The restaurant focuses on locally sourced ingredients from Nara. It is said that the concept of the restaurant is inspired by Japanese ink. The interior is calming, and guests can enjoy sukiyaki in private rooms. There's a feeling that you could eat a bit more. The wonderful, serene atmosphere of the restaurant and the delicious Yamato beef sukiyaki will likely become a source of information about Nara for the next generation of the market.

It's close to the station and easy to get to. Good cost-performance ratio. The atmosphere is just okay. It’s not very spacious, and since it’s a popular place, you’ll likely have to leave right after your meal because there will be people waiting. I happened to sit in a spot where I could see someone waiting right away, so that might have influenced my experience.

I made a reservation four days before my visit, but the only available time was 1:30 PM. The private room was the only option available for an additional fee of 200 yen. Despite there being quite a wait, there were hardly any customers in the private room. I’m not sure if the waiting customers were informed about the private room or if it’s reserved only for those who book in advance. For the meal, I had the “Upper Grade Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki Lunch” (150g, large portion) for 4,290 yen, and my friend had the “Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki Lunch (regular)” (150g, large portion) for 3,190 yen. We shared the dishes, and I could tell that the upper grade beef was slightly more tender. I highly recommend trying the powdered yuzu pepper on the sukiyaki; it was incredibly delicious! Opting for the large portion of meat was definitely the right choice, and I left feeling satisfied and happy. Thank you for the meal! Food: 4 | Service: 3

Visit time: 13:10 Saturday wait time: 25 minutes Menu: Yamato Beef Nikujaga (grilled rare beef) 2,420 yen I traveled to Nara to register for the Nara Marathon and decided to visit Momoshiki for lunch, as it was open during lunch hours. After getting my ticket, I waited 25 minutes to be seated. I was taken to the third floor. Although I was visiting alone, I was shown to a private room. I debated between sukiyaki and the Yamato Beef Nikujaga, ultimately choosing the latter. First, I had it as is. The grilled rare beef was lightly seasoned, allowing me to fully enjoy the meaty flavor of the Yamato beef. Next, I tried it with a bit of spice and yuzu pepper, adding a nice kick which was also delicious. I was supposed to add seaweed, rice crackers, and wasabi and then enjoy it with dashi broth, as indicated on the menu. However, there were no condiments or dashi broth provided. I called the staff over, and they brought them out for me. The crunchy texture of the rice crackers combined with the sharp flavor of the wasabi was delightful. The tea porridge was my favorite and very tasty. It took quite a while for the tea porridge set to arrive after I requested it. While I understand mistakes can happen, it was a bit disappointing that there was no apology for the oversight. Thank you for the meal.

I will arrive in Nara Prefecture around 2 PM, so I'm grateful for the stores that are open for business in the arcade. (*´艸`) I ordered the lunch beef mabu-shi at this restaurant. The meat is tender and delicious! ♡ Since it's mabu-shi, I also tried it as a chazuke (tea over rice), and I actually prefer it over the unagi chazuke (grilled eel). ( ૢˋ͈ꗨ ˊ͈ ꕤ) The Miwa somen here tastes gentler compared to Nagoya's, and it is delicious in its own way. (*´～｀*)ŧ‹"ŧ‹"ŧ‹" It was so good! (,,•﹏•,,) I want to come again! (* ^ω^ *)

On the third day of my Nara trip, I visited this restaurant that I had previously taken a renowned master of our country's culinary arts to. It seems to have become one of the top 100 restaurants now, which is great to hear! I feel like the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, but the meat is delicious. I prefer my rice from the donabe (a traditional Japanese pot) to be served hotter, but since it's not steamed in a bamboo steamer, that's understandable. I walked in without a reservation and was able to get a table with just a little bit of waiting time. After that, it looked like there was quite a wait. However, the turnover seems to be pretty good. Thank you for the meal!

It was helpful that I could easily bring my child to a private room! The person who grilled the meat was a college student, so it didn't feel much like a traditional, long-established sukiyaki restaurant. I'd rate it below 3.9 – I don't want to go even if my friends invite me again. A 4.0 is okay. A 4.3 makes me glad I came! If I have another chance, I’d like to visit again! A 4.5 means I want to combine this with another occasion. A 5.0 means I want to make this the main event! From July 2023, I've taken this new approach!

This restaurant offers high-quality Yamato beef from Nara Prefecture. It's located just a one-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, making it very accessible. The interior is clean and has a calming atmosphere. They serve dishes like sukiyaki and gyu-mabushi, and they make use of locally produced ingredients from Nara. The Yamato beef is incredibly tender and melts in your mouth, truly exceptional, and the vegetables are delicious as well. The meat was exceptionally soft and tasty. The staff provided thorough explanations and the service was excellent!

I went to Nara to see the autumn leaves and thought about having dinner near the station before heading home, when I found this place and made a reservation to visit. Perhaps due to the recent increase in inbound tourism, there seemed to be many foreign customers as well. I arrived around 4 PM, and there were 8 groups waiting, so it might be better to make a reservation beforehand. I ordered the standard course with three slices of Yamato beef. At home, our sukiyaki is more like a hot pot style cooked with a sweet sauce, but here they properly grilled the beef first to render the fat and then added the vegetables and white broth afterward. I learned quite a bit! The staff grilled the meat right in front of me, allowing me to enjoy the cooking visually and then indulging in the delicious food. As you can see from the photos of the meat, it was undeniably exquisite! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice. I ordered the top-grade Wagyu sukiyaki lunch. The taste was very good, but I felt like the regular option had more fat. Since it didn't match the photo, I gave it three stars. The top-grade one clearly looked like it had more fat in the picture, but what I actually received looked like the regular option in the photo. Conversely, the person who ordered the regular option received something that looked like the top-grade one. I did a side-by-side comparison, and I found the regular option had more fat and was tastier.

This review is aimed at: - Those who want to enjoy delicious sukiyaki in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. - Those who wish to spend time leisurely alone. - Those who want to have a fun time with companions. On a certain day in November 2024, I visited alone on a weekend. I drove towards Nara, and before returning to Aichi on the second night, I stopped by the beef restaurant "Sukiyaki to Gyumabushi Momoshiki" near Nara Station. I made a reservation for a private room to enjoy the high-quality Yamato beef sukiyaki without hesitation. ◯ Yamato Beef Premium Sukiyaki Course (120g) - Appetizer (sashimi, ham, pickled vegetables) - Yamato Beef Premium Sukiyaki - Rice, miso soup, pickles - Dessert (yuzu sherbet) ◯ Japanese Red Tea The Yamato beef used for the sukiyaki is A4 rank and classified as a rib roast, which is said to be the most suitable cut for sukiyaki. The balance of lean meat and fat was excellent, and the quality of the meat was superb. Other ingredients such as wheat gluten, tofu, shimeji mushrooms, and black fungus, along with the soy sauce and shiitake mushrooms used in the cooking broth, were also locally sourced from Nara Prefecture. This delicious sukiyaki truly represented the flavors of Nara. Next time, I plan to try the premium sukiyaki course with matsutake mushrooms. Thank you for the meal. ＿＿＿＿＿＿ Sukiyaki and Shabu-Shabu Top 100 Restaurants 2024 My goal for 2024: To visit a total of three targeted restaurants by the end of the year. With this visit, I have now visited three. → I have achieved this, so I plan to update my goal to four visits. My next planned visit for a targeted restaurant is "Honkaku Meat Cuisine Maruko" in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. ＿＿＿＿＿＿ Upcoming Visits (December - January): "Yakitori Ichimatsu" in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture / Yakitori "aru" in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture / French Cuisine

The restaurant is just a three-minute walk from Exit 3 of Kintetsu Nara Station, making it extremely convenient to access. The opening hours are also relatively long, which makes it easy to visit. I ordered the beef sukiyaki set for lunch with a large portion of meat. The freshness of the beef is remarkable, and the marbling is clearly different. The meat is fresh with no animal odor. The miso soup, rice, and side dishes have the usual taste of a standard set meal. But the meat is truly the highlight of this place. They are all about the beef. The sukiyaki itself is delicately prepared and has a mild sweetness that appeals to everyone. It's easy to eat.

I visited for lunch by myself, and it is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station. I tried the unusual menu item of beef steak and minced meat served in a grilled eel style. There were many inbound families, and I think it’s great because you can enjoy sukiyaki in a casual way.

I don't often get to enjoy proper sukiyaki, so I was really looking forward to it. The restaurant is located in a shopping district and was very crowded. It seemed like they were fully booked with reservations on that day as well. We were led to a tatami room on the second floor. Since it was a course meal, dishes started arriving one after another, and the shine of the meat was amazing! A female staff member served us. Sukiyaki is the best! The seasoning was just right, and I devoured everything! I finished all the rice and miso soup too! For dessert, we had ice cream, which was perfect for refreshing the palate! Being able to travel and enjoy delicious food like this is such a happiness! Thank you for the meal!

This was my lunch from a little while ago. I visited Nara Park and decided to stroll around the shopping district near Kintetsu Nara Station, where I chose this restaurant. It had quite a high rating on Tabelog, so I was期待していました (looking forward to it). When I entered, there were a few people waiting, but I didn’t have to wait too long to get in. Looking at the menu, the prices were quite high, but I thought, "Why not treat myself?" so I ordered the Matsutake and Beef Sukiyaki Lunch (regular size). The appearance of the dish when it arrived looked delicious, and of course, it tasted great too! The Matsutake had a wonderful aroma and texture. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and clean as well. Thank you for the meal! #Nara #KintetsuNaraStation #Sukiyaki #MatsutakeAndBeefSukiyakiLunchRegular3410 #BeefSukiyakiLunchRegular2530 #SukiyakiAndBeefRiceBowlMomoshiki #2024/11/04

I wanted to enjoy gourmet food in Nara! → I wanted to eat meat! → I was craving gyu-mabushi! While searching for a delicious place, I came across this restaurant. I visited around noon on a Saturday, and there were 3 to 4 groups ahead of me, but I was seated in about 30 minutes. I looked over the menu and briefly considered sukiyaki, but I decided on the "Yamato Beef Mabushi, Lean Cut" for 2420 yen! When I saw the beautifully arranged lean meat on my dish, my eyes sparkled with excitement. They offered three types of condiments: yuzu pepper, togarashi (Japanese chili powder), and pepper, plus I could change up the flavor by making it into ochazuke (rice with tea), allowing for various ways to enjoy the dish. Thank you for the meal!

After visiting the Shosoin Exhibition, my wife and I went to Momoshiki for sukiyaki and gyu-mabushi. This time, we ordered the course with 240g of Matsutake and Yamato beef. The details about Momoshiki's commitment to the dishes were written on a mat, which raised our expectations. 😊 First, we ordered a shochu soda with plum wine. It was very smooth and delicious plum wine. After that, the appetizers were served. The tuna sashimi had a deep flavor and was very tasty. Then came the sukiyaki. The staff member prepared it for us. However, there was a mistake where the staff forgot the Matsutake, which is unacceptable; without it, the meaning of this course is lost. I hope they can be more careful in the future. First, they laid down the sauce and grilled the meat, which was served nicely. The high-quality meat was marbled just right, tender, and delicious. The fat was in a perfect amount. I tried white fungus for the first time and found it very tasty. The rice was uniform, glossy, and excellent. The bounce of the meat was amazing. The Matsutake had a wonderful aroma and was delicious. We enjoyed the sukiyaki slowly in a private room. Thank you for the meal!

I'm glad I made a reservation in advance! It's a popular restaurant right in front of Kintetsu Nara Station. They offer a course featuring matsutake mushrooms and Yamato beef. It's definitely a taste of autumn! The matsutake has a nice crunchy texture and a wonderful aroma! The Yamato beef is rich with sweet fat, yet it’s light, leaving a pleasant aftertaste! I will definitely be coming back.

Located just a 3 to 5-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station, Sukiyaki and Gyumabushi Momoshiki is a popular sukiyaki restaurant that uses Yamato beef, a brand beef from Nara. In 2024, it was selected as one of the top 100 sukiyaki and shabu-shabu restaurants. One of the appealing aspects of this restaurant is that you can get a same-day ticket even without a reservation and enjoy a meal right away. In the evening, they offer a hearty sukiyaki course, while during lunch, you can savor an affordable individual pot of sukiyaki. Here’s what I enjoyed during my visit: ----------------------------- ◾Yamato Beef Sukiyaki Lunch (Regular) Tender Yamato beef with just the right amount of fat, mushrooms, green onions, tofu, yuba (tofu skin), and udon noodles cooked together in a Kanto-style sukiyaki. The sweet and savory flavor of the dipping sauce was wonderful, and the taste of the Yamato beef, infused with the sauce, was exceptional. The meal comes with miso soup, pickles, and white rice, providing a great balance of various ingredients. The udon, cooked until the liquid is almost gone, was a delicious finishing touch! ----------------------------- It was a satisfying and value-packed lunch set, so I highly recommend visiting.

Right after getting off at Nara Station, we visited Momoshiki. We went as a family, and while the restaurant is famous for its sukiyaki, we decided to go with a set meal this time! ✔︎Wagyu Beef Over Rice Upper Loin Steak 3,300 yen (tax included) ✔︎Wagyu Beef Tataki 2,420 yen (tax included). The sukiyaki course comes with sukiyaki, seasonal vegetables, light pickles, miso soup, the chef’s special sashimi, freshly cooked rice, and dessert. You can choose the meat in portions of 120, 180, or 240 grams. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Tataki, which comes in a wooden container with tataki and shiguré on top. I followed the staff's instructions on how to enjoy it: 1) First, eat it as it is; 2) Add some fragrant seasoning to enhance the flavor with pepper, yuzu pepper, and spicy powder; 3) Enjoy it as a flavorful rice soup by adding broth and toppings like puffed rice, nori, and chopped wasabi. The set meal left me feeling fully satisfied, and I found the price reasonable for a dinner. The meat was fluffy and delicious, and I appreciated that the minced meat wasn’t just ground meat. The ability to change flavors kept the meal interesting until the end. The first floor has table seating, while the second floor features private tatami rooms, perfect for relaxation. For dessert, we ordered the Koto-ka Milk Shaved Ice. It was topped with milk espuma and paired with sweet strawberry-flavored shaved ice; it was refreshing and delicious. Thank you for the meal!
