The word “Tokujō” in the product name is a name that Matsukiya, a Meiji-era Omi Gyu specialty shop (明治創業 近江牛の松喜屋), gives to this product at its Rakuten Ichiba store, and it does not indicate any superiority in quality. With Omi Gyu sukiyaki beef, it can be hard to judge what to choose, since the right pick varies by cut combination — such as momo (round) and bara (short plate) — and by weight, so buyers often end up purchasing without knowing how many servings 1kg makes, or how it should be stored and how long it keeps. In this article, we organized publicly available product information and review-site listings for Matsukiya’s Tokujō Omi Gyu Sukiyaki Beef, Momo & Bara, 1kg, into five points: amount, storage method, ingredient labeling, gift suitability, and reviews.
What We Confirmed
- Amount and how many servings it makes

Ingredients and Allergen Labeling
Within what we could check, neither the Rakuten Ichiba nor the Yahoo! Shopping product page shows an ingredient list, additives, or allergen labeling (as this is a plain cut of meat, only the name, country of origin, and amount are shown). We also checked a similar product (the same momo/bara cut in a different size, a chilled type) on the seller’s official site, and found no allergen labeling there either. This item is not confirmed.
Please ask the shop before buying, or check the food information label on the product when it arrives.

Shopping product pages. Please check the purchase page for the type of noshi inscription (such as uchi-iwai or other celebratory wording) and the gift-box type (formal or simple).
