Savor Exceptional Ōmi Beef from a Specialty Restaurant
Founded in 1897, this long-established restaurant began when an Omi beef butcher shop opened in front of the former Otsu City Hall and later added a dining space where Omi beef dishes were served. The butcher shop eventually closed as the business shifted entirely to the restaurant, which continues today under its fourth generation, presenting cuisine centered on Omi beef. Particularly notable are the fillet and loin cuts of Omi beef, aged to bring out their full flavor. A wide selection of wines chosen by the owner, a senior sommelier certified by the Japan Sommelier Association, is also available. The refined interior with a Japanese atmosphere includes rooms overlooking a garden, creating a relaxed dining setting.
