The appeal of Omi beef

[The appeal of Omi beef]

Omi beef is counted among the three major wagyu beef varieties in Japan and is said to be the oldest brand of beef in the country. It is raised in the fertile soil of Lake Biwa Shiga and is raised with the finest fattening techniques and great care, resulting in its delicate flavor and rich red meat taste.
It has a fine, smooth texture and a mellow aroma. It is also rich in oleic acid, which gives it a soft fat that melts in your mouth.

POINT1	Rich flavor and tender meat Omi beef is one of the three major types of wagyu beef in Japan and has the longest history. Its meat is characterized by its fine texture and mellow flavor.
POINT 2	There is little Mizuhiki on the meat. Mizuhiki is the process by which moisture evaporates into the outside air after the carcass is turned into meat, reducing the weight of the carcass. Omi beef is characterized by its low "mizuhiki rate" due to its fine-grained meat quality.
POINT3	Beautiful, seamless marbling Marbling refers to the mixture of meat and fat, and Omi beef has fine, beautiful marbling that spreads throughout the entire cut.
POINT4	Fat with a unique viscosity Good fat is shiny, white or pale cream in color, and has the right consistency. The fat in A5-ranked Omi beef is characterized by its superior color and elegant consistency.

It is said to be so delicious that it melts in your mouth.

Omi beef has sweet fat and finely textured meat
