Discover the Essence of Omi Beef – One of Japan’s Top Three Wagyu – in Tokyo

The star of the course is the chateaubriand, the tender heart of the fillet, so rare that only a small portion can be taken from each cow. Known as the “jewel of beef,” it combines concentrated flavor with an astonishingly soft texture. With both the sweet-savory depth of sukiyaki and the rich aroma of seared steak, this course showcases Omi beef in all its glory—a true culmination of wagyu excellence.
