Omi beef is one of the top-3 wagyu brands from Japan. This spot, Omi Beef Morishima has been in business for 142 years, for about as long as the beef brand itself. It started in 1879 when beef consumption was still not popularized in Japan. Its roots trace back to opening in the Asakusa area of Tokyo as a butcher shop and beef hot pot eatery, known as “Yone-kyu” and has hasn’t stopped ever since.
The biggest differentiator between Morishima and other Omi beef restaurants is that its truly farm-to-table, raising it’s own cows with extra love in care at their farms for over 2.5 years. The beef is beautifully marbled and almost melts in your mouth with a sweet, savory flavor that only gets better as you eat. It truly is a delight to the tongue and senses.
