Restaurant Sen’naritei

Sen’naritei was founded in 1957 in Hashimoto, the town in Hikone City that’s the birth place of Omi Beef. Omi Beef is one of the most historic brands of wagyu, originally known and distributed as a medicinal “Hikone Beef” when beef consumption was banned during the Edo Period. When Sen’naritei was founded, it launched with the idea of making the delicious taste of Omi Beef available to everyone for generations to come.

Sen’naritei also launched its proprietary cattle farms in 2008, priding itself in insuring excellent flavor by managing every step from farm to table. Today the brand owns 11 different restaurant locations in Shiga prefecture. This 3-story Restaurant Sen’naritei location opened as a specialty Omi beef restaurant on the 2nd and 3rd floor in 1971.
