Omi Beef Raised with Love at Morishima Farm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Morishima Farm is located in eastern Shiga Prefecture, an area known for producing Goshu rice (Omi rice) since ancient times. It is situated at the center of the Aichi, Hino, and Yodo river basins, which flow from the Suzuka mountain range into Lake Biwa. This region is blessed with clear water, abundant grain resources from double-cropping, and a unique basin climate, creating an ideal environment for raising cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On their private farm, Morishima protects and preserves the traditional bloodlines and fattening techniques passed down through generations and carefully selects and imports calves. Over a two-year fattening period, the farm strives to create a relaxing environment for the cattle to grow, tailoring feed individually according to each animal’s age and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morishima prides itself on delivering top-level taste, aroma, tenderness, and satisfaction, making it a perfect choice for a gift as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-story restaurant features a spacious first-floor dining area with casual table seating, allowing guests to enjoy meals without reservations. There’s also a shop where you can purchase the high-quality meat served in the restaurant. Many original Morishima products, such as Omi Beef Curry, make perfect souvenirs. It is possible to prepare cuts of meat not displayed in the showcase as well. The flowers displayed throughout the space allow you to experience the seasons of Omi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the corridor facing the courtyard, there is a relief of Nunobiki-yaki pottery created by artist Taro Kojima specifically for this space. Nunobiki-yaki is a creative ceramic art from Higashiomi City in Shiga Prefecture that is characterized by its unique and rich colors known as “seven-color tenmoku.” The beautiful colors depict the inhabited island of Okishima floating on the serene Lake Biwa in a fantastical manner. On the second floor, there are private rooms for special occasions and receptions, as well as a large hall for gatherings and banquets. Just like on the first floor, Taro Kojima’s Nunobiki-yaki relief “Hachimanbori” is displayed at the entrance of the second-floor hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hachimanbori is a canal that was constructed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he built Hachimanyama Castle to connect Lake Biwa and the urban area. Today, it serves as a tourist resource in the old city of Omihachiman and is cherished by both locals and visitors from outside the prefecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
