Nikutoieba Matsuda, a celebrated Wagyu-focused Omakase from Nara, has officially opened its first international outpost in Hong Kong — and it arrives with confidence. The restaurant presents the exact same tasting menu as its Japanese counterparts, built around the distinctive flavour profile of Yamato Wagyu, a regional breed known for depth of flavour rather than overwhelming richness. The result is an omakase experience that showcases Wagyu in thoughtful, varied preparations across 12 courses.This is a meat-forward 割烹 where every dish is designed to highlight a different expression of Wagyu: raw, seared, grilled over binchotan, stewed, fried, or paired with seasonal vegetables. What stands out most is the restraint — despite the reputation of Wagyu being heavy or overly fatty, the pacing and selection of cuts ensure the entire menu remains elegant and surprisingly light. You finish all 12+ beef-based dishes without feeling overwhelmed, which speaks volumes about the chef’s precision.The space seats around ten to twelve guests along a counter, allowing a clear view of the chef preparing each dish. The dining time spans roughly two and a half hours, yet the experience feels effortless and immersive from beginning to end. The chef explains each course with genuine enthusiasm, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that you can enjoy conversations with your friends while still appreciating the craftsmanship happening right in front of you. It strikes a rare balance between intimacy and ease — refined, but never stiff.Wagyu Chateaubriand Sando 吉列和牛菲力三文治伴自家製奈良漬他他醬、自家製醬汁The restaurant’s most-talked-about item lives up to the hype. The chateaubriand is served in a remarkably thick cut — tender, juicy, and cooked with absolute precision — enclosed within perfectly crisped toast that holds its structure without greasiness. The house-made Nara-pickle tartare adds a gentle sweetness; although my personal preference leans towards a more savoury profile for beef dishes, this version still earns a strong 9/10. It is, quite possibly, the best Wagyu sando currently in Hong Kong.Wagyu Sukiyaki 和牛里脊肉壽喜燒A beautifully balanced sukiyaki served with seasonal mushrooms and a lush raw egg yolk. The broth leans savoury rather than sweet, allowing the natural flavour of the Wagyu to stand out. The combination of silky yolk and thinly sliced beef is pure comfort and extremely well executed — another dish firmly in the 9/10 territory.Charcoal-grilled Dry-aged Wagyu Sirloin 炭燒熟成和牛西冷伴牛蒡、無花果、實山椒醬、水田芥The dry-aged flavour is deep and concentrated without heaviness, harmonised by an aromatic sansho sauce that lifts the beef rather than overpowering it. The addition of burdock, fig, and wild watercress rounds out the plate with earthy sweetness and fresh peppery notes. This dish demonstrates the restaurant’s ability to compose flavours with maturity and restraint.Wagyu Yukke with Kombu-marinated Loin, Shallot, Nagaimo, Tonburi, Yuba, Shiso Flowers 昆布漬和牛刺身伴長芋、地膚子、海膽、紫蘇花穗Wagyu Roast Loin Beef with Autumn Eggplant, Ginkgo Nuts, Sansho Sauce, and Kinome 炭燒和牛伴秋茄子、銀杏、山椒大根蓉、木の芽Grilled Wagyu Tongue藁燒和牛牛舌Sushi with Wagyu Loin, Pickled Radish, and Nori 和牛里脊肉他他拌醃黄蘿蔔、海苔壽司Wagyu Wonton Soup with Chrysanthemum, Ginger, and White Leek 和牛雲吞伴菊花、生姜、白葱 椀物Wagyu Curry Rice 和牛咖哩飯…查看更多
