Kameyama, Mie, Japan｜元祖肉の水炊きの店 むかい

It had a very retro and nostalgic atmosphere! The first floor was a restaurant, and the second floor was a private room and banquet hall!

Today, I finally got to eat Mukai-san's mizutaki. I've wanted to eat it for a long time, but I can't summarize it by myself... The image of Matsusaka beef is usually sukiyaki or steak. But we love light and simple ways to eat, so we definitely recommend Matsusaka beef shiochiri or mizutaki. It's not too fatty, it's low in sugar, and you can eat lots of vegetables. I'm so happy~ Mukai-san's mizutaki in Kameyama is the best! The private rooms are clean and the staff are bright and kind. Starting from 7,000 yen per person, you can have a delicious meal. The meat was tender, the vegetables were delicious, and I was very satisfied. The fruit dessert is also sweet. At the end, I received Mukai's original ballpoint pen, which made me very happy. It's helpful because you can call me on the day and get a summary right away. I'm happy to be able to eat whenever I want. I want to go eat there again next time~

An old-fashioned shopping street on a hill in Higashimachi, which used to be Kameyama-shuku on the old Tokaido. Currently, it is quietly close to a shutter town. One of the shops in such a quiet shopping street is Mukai. "Mukai", which is called "Ise Kameyama's famous mizutaki dish with original meat," seems to be a long-established restaurant that can not be underestimated by quite a few celebrities. It seems that it is divided into a tatami room and a restaurant, and it seems that you can eat meat boiled in water in the tatami room. Meat mizutaki is a famous hot pot similar to shabu-shabu, in which carefully selected Matsuzaka beef is quickly dipped in kombu dashi and served with soy sauce. Many Matsuzaka beef menus were lined up in front of the shop. Go through the entrance, you will see the butcher's showcase on your right, and the owner will greet you at the reserved seat like a guardian. Please kindly say “Welcome” with a smile. A red neon sign in the aisle. Passing through the mysterious space and proceeding to the restaurant in the back, it is a restaurant with only four seats that creates a quite retro atmosphere. Box seats where 6 people can sit comfortably. The walls are adorned with photos of memories with celebrities. The vinyl sofas are covered with rugs, and the warm atmosphere of this old restaurant gives you a very retro feeling. The Matsusaka beef menu includes sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, yakiniku, steak, beef rice, hamburger steak, beef ginger grill, shigureju, and beef ramen. Among them, Matsusaka beef gyumeshi starts at 1,000 yen. Beef ramen starts from 750 yen, which is a great value. Variations are spreading in the rank and amount of meat. In addition to Matsusaka beef, there were pork and chicken sukiyaki. In addition, Kameyama specialty miso-yaki udon and Kameyama ramen (beef bone miso) were also available. You will be surprised at the price setting, which makes it hard to believe that all menu items use Matsusaka beef. Today, I decided to ask for the long-established taste "exquisite" Matsusaka beef sukiyaki. ●Matsusaka Beef Sukiyaki Hot Pot 2,500 yen I dared to choose a normal sukiyaki pot instead of a special one. An iron pot on a mini stove. Green onions, shimeji mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, tofu, onions, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, enoki mushrooms. Matsuzaka beef with wonderful marbling fills the entire space. Udon is a separate plate. The set comes with a raw egg, rice, pickles, and additional warishita. Before the fire is over, you will have a piece of meat. It's so delicious! Just because it's a good value doesn't mean it's super thinly sliced, but it's just the right amount of meat with the soft and deep sweetness of Matsusaka beef. I have found this hideaway to be quite a bargain. This dish can only be made by a butcher. It is a wonderful restaurant that makes you want to try all the dishes. A little-known spot is a great shop. On the way back, you will pass through the checkpoint where the grandfather is waiting. He kindly asked me, "Was it delicious?" with a smile. It was a wonderful shop with an old man who loved his shop and cared about his customers. I'll come back later. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.
