Speaking of Matsusaka in Mie, you probably think of a place with delicious meat, right? Matsusaka City Hotel is a hotel where you can casually enjoy Matsusaka beef as curry for breakfast. It has the atmosphere of a long-established business hotel in front of the station, and you can see Matsusaka Station from the window of your room. Many long-established hotels do not have USB ports, but this one is equipped with them. Air purifiers are also available. Near the front desk, there are maps of Mie prefecture and the area around the station, restaurant maps, and pamphlets about Ise Shrine, which are information that we would like to see for those who are traveling using this as a base. The breakfast buffet where you can eat Matsusaka beef tendon curry is available from 6:30 to 9:00 in the morning. The price is 800 yen for guests and 850 yen for general users. It is a nice point that general users can also use it. Some of the buffet menu items are provided without seasoning as toppings or ingredients, so you can decorate your Matsusaka beef tendon curry in your favorite way. When you pour the broth over the noodles, you get "Matsusaka beef tendon curry udon." The curry roux has a firm texture, and you can feel the meat in it. It was a wonderful breakfast buffet using local ingredients. 150m from Matsusaka Station on the Kintetsu and JR lines "Matsusaka City Hotel" 729-1 Hino-cho, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture 515-0084 #Mie #MieTrip #MieTourism #Matsusaka #MatsusakaBeef #Curry #MatsusakaGourmet #HotelBuffet #BusinessHotel #Hotel #MieHotel #MatsusakaHotel #DomesticTrip

There is nothing more authentic than eating Matsusaka beef in Matsusaka city. This is the most accurate destination for Wagyu lovers. Their Matsusaka beef is from the local farm and they also have A6 wagyu. It is so delicious and worth going! Price is reasonable to me, they provide a set but i think a la carte might suite us better. Nice restaurant and is one of the must go in Mie Prefecture W#myperfectstaycation

The best beef I've ever had 🍖 🍖 The restaurant has an English menu with clear details. The quality of the beef is excellent. I highly recommend trying it. All other dishes prepared in the restaurant are also very delicious. We ordered 2 main dishes and 2 plates of beef for grilling. The price is reasonable for the quality of the beef. The meat is tender and bounces back when you chew, not tough, and it melts in your mouth 👍👍

I went to "Koffe Grandz" in #Matsusaka City, #Mie Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ I thought it was unusual to have croquettes as the main dish, so I wanted to go ⸜(* ॑꒳ ॑* )⸝ There's a sign along the junction of national highway 23, but you can't enter from the highway, so you have to go in from a side street (≧ω≦) I immediately ordered the #special croquette and extra miso soup with a large serving of rice (o･ω-人) The croquette, drenched in demi-glace sauce, arrived Σ( °-° )Wow The batter absorbed the demi-glace sauce and wasn't crispy, but it was so soft that it would fall apart if you didn't hold it gently with chopsticks, and when you cut the croquette open, the white sauce oozed out (*´ч ` *) It was filled with plenty of fibrous stewed beef. The creamy white sauce and the savory beef went perfectly together (ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)♡ The gentle taste of the croquette and the deliciousness of the demi-glace sauce go perfectly together, and the rice goes really well with it Ψ( 'ч' ☆) I think it's a unique and exquisite cream croquette (〃艸〃)♡ #Travelingwithme #Shinobichan

Matsushiro Honey Shop (はちみつ屋松治郎) is a shop that sells various honey products. They sell various types of honey, such as honeycomb, honey, honey ice cream, honey-mixed drinks, and the most popular menu item of this shop is the “Fried Sweet Potatoes with Honey” (ハニボテ レギュラー) which is popular among teenagers who follow reviews from IG. The sweet potatoes are fried until crispy, coated with sweet and fragrant honey. No matter how long they are fried, they are still crispy when eaten. We can choose the topping to put on the fried potatoes, which is “honeycomb” for 150 yen per piece. There is also a parfait menu that is worth trying, which is fried sweet potatoes topped with honey whipped cream and Ise Shrine gate-shaped biscuits. It is very stylish. In addition to various food menus, this shop also sells other beauty products such as honey soap, honey cream, honey shampoo. They are organic products made from nature, without using chemicals. There is also a workshop here where we can try making our own honey products. 📍Matsujiro Honey Shop Location: Located on Okage Yokocho Street in front of Ise Shrine #Travelwithtrip2024 #MatsujiroHoneyShop #Hachimitsuya Masahiro #FriedPotatoToppedWithHoney #FriedSweetPotatoIse #HoneyShopInFrontOfIseShrine #FamousHoneySweetPotatoOnIG #IseDeliciousFood #FamousShopInFrontOfIseShrine #IseMieTravel #IseMie #TravelJapan
