Omi Beef (Hikone)
The moment it touches your mouth, the melting marbled fat dissolves and spreads across your palate. With its fine texture and elegant sweetness, Omi Beef is a brand Wagyu that Japan takes great pride in. Its roots are ancient, dating back to the Hikone Domain. During the Edo period, when meat consumption was generally avoided, beef miso-pickled in Hikone was produced as a medicinal tonic known as 'Hen-hongan' and was reportedly presented by the Ii family to the Shogunate. With a history longer than both Kobe beef and Matsusaka beef, it is considered one of Japan's oldest brand Wagyu. Following the establishment of the Omi Beef Association in 1951 after the war, the brand was formalized, and it was officially trademarked in 2007. Whether enjoyed as sukiyaki or steak, it is an exquisite delicacy nurtured by Shiga Prefecture.
