Japanese Cuisine Nakagawa Beef Suiren

This special restaurant is located near Omihachiman Station in Shiga Prefecture, where you can taste “Nakagawa Beef,” the origin of Omi Beef—one of Japan’s three great wagyu brands. With all-private rooms and a relaxing atmosphere, you can savor this rare beef.

Their signature “Nakagawa Beef” is exceptionally tender, and the moment it hits your tongue, its rich flavor gently spreads. The fat is light, so you’ll feel like you can keep eating. You can enjoy this prized “Nakagawa Beef” prepared in many ways, including steak, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu.

They also offer a wide selection of à la carte dishes made with seasonal local ingredients, such as fresh seafood sashimi and tempura made with wild young ayu (sweetfish) from Lake Biwa. At lunch, you can enjoy set meals, rice bowls, and bento-style options casually.

They also offer a waterside tour plan. Ride a traditional yakatabune boat through “Spring Colors: The Waterside of Azuchi-Hachiman,” selected as Japan’s first Important Cultural Landscape, and enjoy natural beauty like cherry blossoms in spring and fresh greenery in summer. Afterward, dine at the restaurant on a meal centered around “Nakagawa Beef.” The combination of stunning scenery—also counted as one of the Eight Views of Lake Biwa—and premium beef is exceptional.
