The Rarest Beef on Earth
Omi beef has a 400 year history and is one of Japan’s Top Three Wagyu
Japan has three types of beef that have become brands in themselves, and these are Kobe beef, Matsusaka beef, and Omi beef. Types of beef are distinguished by where they are produced, bearing the name of the area, and purchased at a high price. Among the many types of wagyu (Japanese beef), Omi beef has the longest history. It is said that Omi beef was originally used over 400 years ago to show hospitality to the warrior Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Later, in the Edo period it was presented as a gift to the Sh**un, and the average person began to eat it after the country was reopened in the Meiji period.
This fine, fatty meat has a melt-in-your-mouth texture
The lineage of Japanese cows, or wagyu, is carefully managed, and the cows are painstakingly raised so that the meat is especially delicious. Although a lean red meat is considered the best in Europe and the United States, marbled fatty meat is popular in Japan. Omi beef is popular for the clean aftertaste of its fatty meat. Try Omi beef to understand one aspect of Japanese food aesthetics.
