The Marriage of Omi Beef and Moriyama Sake: The Appeal of Our Chef's Recommended Courses

The star of our cuisine is undoubtedly Omi beef. As one of Japan's top three wagyu brands, Omi beef is characterized by its fine texture and melt-in-your-mouth sweet fat.

Our chef's recommended courses are designed to let you enjoy Omi beef prepared in various ways, with the overall balance from appetizer to dessert carefully considered. For example, one course might begin with Omi beef nigiri, followed by a dish featuring seasonal seafood, then a main of Omi beef steak, and conclude with seasoned rice using seasonal ingredients, offering a gourmet experience that appeals to all five senses. Pairing each dish with the optimal sake infinitely expands the depth of flavor. We offer multiple courses to suit your budget and purpose, so please see the details.
