The Omi Beef brand is the oldest in Japan, meaning “The Cattle of the Lake.” These cattle are raised by the shores of the largest freshwater lake in Japan, “the Mother Lake,” Lake Biwa into which 400 rivers flow. Omi beef has a history that dates back more than 400 years, as it was served by the Shogun to his warlords, making it known as “Emperor’s Beef.” During the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when it became legal to consume beef again in Japan, much of what shipped as Kobe beef was actually Omi Beef.
The cattle are fed on some of the best rice in Japan that grows on the land surrounding the lake, the vast majority of which is farmed organically. Its critical importance to the city of Kyoto ensures that the Shiga Prefecture has the tightest environmental restrictions in the country. An ideal place to raise cattle, the environment here stands above the rest.

:: IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFO ::
Our master butchers perfectly age, cut, and immediately vacuum seal our steaks before blast freezing them to -30F. This method completely protects and preserves the quality of the steaks for transit. To help ensure your steak delivery arrives in excellent condition, each order is shipped frozen in a state-of-the-art shipping unit with dry ice. The outer shipper is recyclable and the interior insulation, made from corn starch, is biodegradable and can be dissolved in your sink (make sure to rinse it thoroughly so it doesn't stick in the p-trap).
An ice- or cold-water bath is recommended for a quick thaw but the best way is to allow your steaks to defrost in your refrigerator 24-48 hours. Never defrost steaks in warm or hot water.
