Hello! This is AdaLog. Lunchtime■ Sukiyaki set meal ¥2,200 (tax included) What is your favorite feast? For me, "sukiyaki" is an essential treat. In Shibuya, at the long-established restaurant "Matsumokuya" in Kamiyama, you can have proper sukiyaki for lunch as a set meal. According to Tabelog, the opening day was in 1880 (!!). When I visited for lunch on a Saturday, there were no other customers. The atmosphere at lunchtime is somewhat laid-back, almost pastoral. Upon entering, there is a bar counter in the front, followed by table seats, and at the back, there are tatami rooms with a quite unique layout. The menu includes the famous "sukiyaki set meal," as well as "sukiyaki course" and "sashimi set meal." The set meal is ¥2,200, and the course is ¥4,400, both on the high-end for lunch. I ordered the "sukiyaki set meal," which arrived in about 5 minutes. The sukiyaki pot came with kinpira and tamagoyaki on a side dish, raw egg, miso soup with clams, pickles, and rice. Rice refills are free. The main sukiyaki consisted of three large slices of loin meat, each about 40-50g. Being loin, it had a good amount of lean meat, perfect for a hearty meal. The broth was gentle and relatively light. The quality of the egg was good and complemented the meat well. Other items included grilled tofu, green onions, shirataki noodles, and Chinese cabbage. As a kaiseki restaurant with sukiyaki as the main dish, the miso soup with clams and pickles were delicious. For dessert, lemon sherbet and vanilla ice cream were served. At ¥2,200, it's not cheap, but it's great for a little treat lunch or for business lunches due to its large seating capacity. It's definitely a place to remember in Shibuya.
