Opinionated About Dining ranked it #149 among North American restaurants in 2025, reflecting decades of consistent Japanese-Peruvian technique and counter-level precision. It operates on a compressed daily schedule across lunch and dinner, and remains one of the clearest links between the original creative vision and the larger brand that followed.

Tokyo, Japan
Matsuki Ya places Shibuya’s sukiyaki tradition in a room built for several kinds of Tokyo dining: tatami seating, tables, bar-area round tables, and counter seats.

Sapporo, Japan
Matsukura is a seven-seat Sapporo counter for Japanese cuisine and seafood, selected for Tabelog 100 Japanese Cuisine EAST 2025.

Kyoto, Japan
Matsumoto belongs to Kyoto’s small-format soba culture rather than the city’s kaiseki theatre.

Matsumoto, Japan
A low-cost curry and Indian curry address near Shinshu University, Matsumoto Meeyau Shindai mae ten belongs to the practical, everyday side of Matsumoto dining rather than the city’s kaiseki-and-craft-beer tourist circuit.

Agatsuma-gun, Japan
Kusatsu’s sweet-shop culture sits close to the hot-spring circuit, where take-out wagashi works as both snack and edible souvenir. Matsumura Manju belongs to that tradition, with a Tabelog 100 selection for Japanese traditional sweets and cafe sweets in EAST 2023, a sub-¥999 spend profile, and a format built around quick, local purchasing rather than a long seated meal.
Kyoto, Japan
Matsunosuke Kyoto honten puts American-style cake, pancakes, and apple pie inside Kyoto’s serious café conversation rather than its temple-break snack circuit. Its selection for Tabelog Cafe WEST “Tabelog 100” 2025, following Cafe selections in 2021 and 2022, gives the room a reputation signal that matters in a city where sweets culture is often judged by craft, restraint, and repeat local use.
Tokyo, Japan
High above Hatsudai, Matsusaka Ushi Yoshida places sukiyaki, shabu shabu, and teppanyaki inside a polished high-rise dining room rather than the tighter counter format associated with much of Tokyo luxury dining. Its 2024 Tabelog 100 Hot Pot selection, 105-seat scale, private rooms, sommelier service, and Matsusaka beef focus put it in a distinct category: formal wagyu dining built for groups as much as specialists.
Tokyo, Japan
Matsushimaya belongs to Tokyo’s old-school wagashi register, where the menu is narrow, takeaway-led, and judged on execution rather than theatre. Its Takanawa shop is associated with Japanese traditional sweets and daifuku, with repeated Tabelog 100 selections placing it inside the city’s serious sweets conversation.

Takamatsu, Japan
Matsushita Seimensho belongs to Takamatsu’s working udon culture rather than its restaurant theatre: low-cost bowls, counter seating, take-out, and a format built for repeat local use.

Inazawa, Japan
Matsuya Choshun places Inazawa’s wagashi tradition in a precise, low-price bracket: take-out Japanese traditional sweets with Tabelog 100 recognition for the EAST region in 2023. The appeal is not ceremony or tasting-menu theater, but ingredient-led craft, cash-minded planning, and a suburban Aichi setting where sweets are bought with purpose rather than staged for spectacle.
Tottori, Japan
Matsuya Horumon Ten puts Tottori’s casual meat-and-drink culture into a small-format room built around tripe, stir-fried noodles, sake and shochu. Its selection for Tabelog 100 Yakiniku WEST 2025 gives it a rare regional signal, while the low listed price band keeps the appeal closer to an everyday local meal than a luxury yakiniku sitting.
Kyoto, Japan
A Kyoto wagashi stop with Tabelog 100 recognition, Matsuya Tokiwa belongs to the city’s serious sweets culture rather than its souvenir-shelf version. The format is compact, traditional, and value-led, with take-out service and a spend level that keeps the decision refreshingly low-risk for travellers already budgeting for Kyoto’s kaiseki counters.
Matsusaka, Japan
Matsuzaka Kaizu Honten belongs to Matsusaka’s beef-first dining culture, where sukiyaki, yakiniku, and steak are not interchangeable formats but different arguments about fat, heat, and provenance.

Nishikasugai-gun, Japan
Matsuzaka Tei Misawa is a Nishikasugai-gun house-restaurant for shabu shabu, sukiyaki and steak, with private rooms, tatami seating and a family-friendly format.

Busan, South Korea
In Suyeong-gu, Matsuzaki runs a kaiseki omakase format that stays close to Japanese culinary fundamentals: a warming soup to open, a seasonal hassun course, and a closing nabemono of rice, vegetables, and fish.

A Michelin Plate-recognised dining room operating inside a restored 19th-century stagecoach stop, Mattei's Tavern brings Auberge Resorts' California hospitality to Los Olivos wine country.

Carla Booz and Manuel Willi run the operation, delivering Austrian classics alongside modern dishes that reflect thoughtful ingredient work.
Uruma, Japan
