The last time I introducedMatsusaka Beef NagatayaFeaturing Matsusaka beef as the main attraction, enjoy a special time with your family on a private terrace surrounded by nature.
"Matsusaka beef premium short ribs", "Matsusaka beef thigh"
We prepared "premium short ribs" with their beautiful marbling and "beef thigh" which offers the delicious flavor unique to lean meat. Both are of the high quality meat characteristic of Matsusaka beef, a brand of wagyu beef that Mie Prefecture is proud of, and our expectations are high even before we start grilling them. We also sautéed the oyster mushrooms, which are characterized by their firm, crunchy texture.
"Seasonal vegetables"
For the grilled vegetables, we've prepared sweet, in-season corn, as well as eggplant, bell peppers, and supporting players like myoga ginger and shiso leaves. The vibrant colors and refreshing aromas of these summer vegetables will elevate your grilled meat to an even more luxurious level.
"Cherry tomatoes", "broad beans"
To cleanse your palate, we've prepared colorful cherry tomatoes and seasonal broad beans. After savoring the rich flavor of the meat, the cherry tomatoes, with their pleasant acidity and juiciness, will refresh your mouth. The broad beans are delicious on their own when boiled, but lightly grilling them on a hot plate enhances their aroma and gives them a fluffy texture. The natural sweetness of the beans is also brought out, making them a perfect accompaniment to drinks.
Forest Villa boasts a spacious terrace, and one of its attractions is the ability to easily enjoy yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) using a hot plate you bring with you. Unlike a restaurant, being able to dine at your own pace is a unique pleasure of renting an entire villa.
First, arrange the summer vegetables, leaving the space in the middle clear for the Matsusaka beef.
While filming the video, I also take on the role of grill master. I use my skills to ensure that the food is cooked to perfection and enjoyed at its most delicious moment.
When the Matsusaka beef is placed on the plate, a pleasant sizzling sound is heard, and a savory aroma fills the air.
The fat that melts from the finely marbled beef has an elegant sweetness, and with one bite, it melts in your mouth and the rich umami flavor spreads throughout. The premium short ribs offer a mellow richness, while the beef thigh offers a powerful umami flavor characteristic of lean meat, allowing you to enjoy the different deliciousness of each. First, savor the original taste of the meat simply with salt and pepper, then enjoy the classic deliciousness with yakiniku sauce that makes you crave rice. Finally, wrap the grilled meat in shiso leaves with myoga ginger and enjoy. The refreshing aroma of myoga and the flavor of shiso enhance the umami of Matsusaka beef and just the right amount of sweetness from the fat, so you can enjoy it without getting tired of it until the very end. The fact that the expression changes with just one condiment is one of the pleasures that only high-quality meat can offer.
Chocolat, who was patiently waiting under the table asking "What about my share?", was given a small portion of the unseasoned beef thigh. Seeing her happily gobble it up brought a smile to my face. Being able to share a meal with my beloved dog while traveling is one of the unique charms of a dog-friendly Forest Villa.
While we enjoyed our meal, the sky changed from twilight to night.
The magical blue hour sky gently envelops the forest, and flames flicker in the fire pit on the terrace. A pleasant breeze blows through the trees, and the sounds of birds and insects quietly resonate as you enjoy dinner—a special experience you can never have in a restaurant.
A peaceful evening spent with beloved family and our dog, surrounded by delicious food. This time spent amidst the rich nature of Ise-Shima was an unforgettable last night, a fitting conclusion to our memories at "NEMU RESORT."
