Kinomoto

  • This small inn near the northern tip of Lake Biwa preserves a nostalgic, old-world atmosphere.
    In addition to local dishes made with regional ingredients, its OMI-BEEF steak is a signature favorite that draws many visitors.
    The sirloin is grilled over binchotan charcoal for a crisp outside and tender inside, and comes with five sauces which highlight the beef’s character, making it fun to compare flavors.
    Guests can enjoy a full stay or visit just for a meal.
  • This restaurant brings together two local favorites: Sushi Kei, a long-established mackerel sushi shop along the historic Hokkoku Highway, and Gensan, renowned for its OMI-BEEF. Thanks to this collaboration, guests can enjoy both in one place. The sukiyaki is prepared in an iron pot using only a dashi-infused warishita sauce. Begin by tasting the OMI-BEEF loin after only a brief simmer, allowing you to fully enjoy its melt-in-the-mouth texture. To finish, savor the signature mackerel sushi made with plump mackerel sourced from waters near Kyushu. With spacious tatami rooms and private seating, guests can relax and take their time enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the Oku-Biwako area.
