Steak Rosso Rosso — Restaurant in Kutchan

We booked Rosso Rosso niseko a week in advance for a friends birthday. Niseko is quite busy in winter. Booking ahead definitely recommended for anything decent.

I had to give credit card details for the booking in case we didn’t turn up or cancelled. This is pretty standard these days so not overly worried.

The restaurant is a little trick to find even though we were familiar with the area. Walked over a snow bank and through neighbouring properties to get to the front door.

The seating times are strict, so recommend turning up on time to avoid being rushed at the end.

As a group of 4 we were easily accommodated.

We loosened up with a nice bottle of sake to share.

This is a steak house. Very good quality steak. The menu gives a little background on the different breeds and regions the beef is from.

Appetiser - smoked salmon and shrimp amuse bouche. Very fresh and tasty.

Entree of bacon wrapped scallops with red wine sauce. Thought red wine sauce with seafood was an odd pairing but was a great dish. All at table agreed and lapped up the sauce.

Side of garlic bread (seemed the better choice over rice). Nothing special.

We all ordered the matsusaka beef fillet course. The whole table had done medium rare (recommended). So soft and velvety. The most amazing texture. !! Lacked seasoning and maybe some direct flame/high heat to finish for flavour. This was a great steak. We shared a bottle of western Australian alkoomi 2016 Shiraz. Very well paired.

Dessert - yuzu sorbet. It was nice.

The birthday boy was presented with special dessert. Chocolate cake, yuzu sorbet and candles.

Sorry - as usual I started eating before taking pics. Hungry and food so good.

Over $200 per head. Great steak but overpriced.

A great night with the boys. I...

Exceptional Dining Experience at Steak Rosso Rosso

Steak Rosso Rosso in Niseko delivered an absolutely outstanding dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and stylish atmosphere made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive—nothing was too much trouble for them. Our water glasses were never empty, plates were promptly cleared, and they ensured we were happy throughout the meal.

The food itself was exceptional. The meal started with a simple yet perfectly executed corn chowder and garlic bread, which beautifully set the stage for the main course. The steak was the true highlight—cooked to a perfect rare finish, yet somehow still boasting the juiciness, colour, and texture of a premium steak you’d expect to pay significantly more for elsewhere. Every bite was full of flavour, enhanced by the delicious sauce that accompanied it. The vegetables were fresh and complemented the dish without overshadowing it.

Presentation was refined with a ‘less is more’ approach, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine. To finish, the citrus lemonade sorbet was the perfect palate cleanser—light, refreshing, and restoring balance after the richness of the steak.

Steak Rosso Rosso is one of Niseko’s long-standing establishments, alongside places like Bang Bang, and it’s clear why they’ve stood the test of time. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and an inviting atmosphere make this a must-visit dining spot....

Honestly I had high expectations given the reviews, but I have to say this was a huge let down. We all had the fixed price menu and most of the courses were mediocre at best. I had the A5 wagyu steak as my main course which was very good, but a portion of the steak was a big piece of fat. I can only think that the people writing these reviews must either not have good taste or work for the restaurant. It's not a bad meal by any stretch, but when you see a 4.6 star (google) restaurant with plenty of reviews I expect a high quality experience, especially for over a hundred dollars. If you must go here, please order the Hokkaido filet as it is a third the price of the A5 and might you...
