Ushiden Omiotsu Kyoto Store is an affordable yakiniku restaurant located near Otsu-kyo Station by Lake Biwa. As the parent company is a meat wholesale company, they offer high-quality Omi beef at reasonable prices. The exterior looks like a chain store, but the interior is open and provides comfortable spaces with private rooms.
Here, you can enjoy the rare Omi beef yakiniku. Omi beef has a marbled texture with a predominance of red meat, and its elegant taste is its distinct feature. The freshly grilled Omi beef kalbi has a perfect balance of fat and lean meat, complementing well with the sweet and savory sauce. There is also an à la carte menu available, allowing you to indulge in luxurious dishes.
What is surprising is the deliciousness of the rice cooked in a feather kettle after ordering. The plump grains and faint aroma of the rice are exquisite, especially when paired with the fat of the meat. Although it may be overshadowed by the popularity of the all-you-can-eat option, the inclusion of rice in the course is a major selling point of this restaurant.
A hidden yakiniku restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality yakiniku and exquisite rice that you wouldn't expect from its exterior. There is a charm here that makes you want to visit for lunch or dinner. If you want to enjoy a high-value yakiniku, I highly recommend it.
