$270 Omi Beef & Lobster in Kyoto – Gourmet Food in Japan

Omi Wagyu Beef belongs to the 3 most reputable cattle breeds in Japan (beside Kobe Beef and Matsusaka Beef). The highest quality A5 Wagyu, such as Omi beef, is usually firm to the bite with a distinct strong taste of beef. Unlike medium and lower quality A5 Wagyu, which “melts in your mouth” like a piece of butter, a rather unpleasant sensation for most people.

In this restaurant usually 80 g of Omi Beef are served for the set lunch meal. I asked for additional 40 g (4,000 Yen/35 USD), the chef put 10 g on top for free. Without the lobster and with the regular 80 g steak, the lunch is about half the price.

Interestingly the chef spoke only Japanese and French, they English speaking waiter explains the different food items. Filmed in Kyoto, Japan.
