Take in the outstanding views of the Yodo River and nighttime cityscape from Teppanyaki Ousaka's 19th-floor location! While enjoying the view, you will also want to enjoy a luxurious [Specially-Selected Kuroge Wagyu Beef Loin Tataki] (3,000 JPY (plus tax)). "Tataki" involves searing just the outside of a thick-cut, fresh piece of beef, keeping the inside rare so that the fat will melt once bitten into! Diners eager to savor the umami (Japanese savory taste) and juiciness of meat should be sure to order this dish.
Normally, roast beef is served with horseradish, but here, wasabi is used instead. The meat's fat softens the bite of the wasabi, making this dish irresistible even to those diners who normally wouldn't be fans of this sharp flavor!

Chateaubriand is taken from the thickest part of the tenderloin, and this rare cut is notable for being soft and having a fine grain. It has less marbling in comparison to standard cuts, and its bold umami has led it to be regarded as "the ultimate red meat." What this meat is paired with may surprise you, though: uni (sea urchin)! The meat's flavor, which deepens the longer you chew, combined with the uni's mellow yet aromatic flavor results in a combination that is truly unbeatable.

11. Matasaburo (Nagai)
The owner of Matasaburo has a preference for using dry-aged beef. Dry-aging involves drying the surface of the meat to remove excess water, resulting in concentrated umami and aroma, as well as increased tenderness thanks to the enzymes that break down the meat.

Only the outside of this steak is cooked, resulting in a juicy, aromatic, and tender piece of meat. This yakiniku restaurant is also stylishly decorated, making it a good date spot!
