Maesawa Aburi Beef Nigiri at Sukuhachi Sushi
If you visit Iwate Prefecture, you must try "Maesawa beef," which is considered one of the three great cuts of beef! It is characterized by its firm sweetness and rich flavor, and is also called "land toro" (land toro). This time, we would like to introduce "Sukuhachi Sushi," a popular sushi restaurant in Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture, where you can enjoy food that makes the most of such "Maesawa beef.

What is Maesawa beef?

Maesawa beef is the highest quality Japanese black beef raised in Maesawa Ward, Oshu City, Iwate Prefecture. It is characterized by its beautifully fine marbling, melting tenderness, and sweet, elegant fat. One bite of the beef will give you an aroma reminiscent of butter and the flavor of the meat will spread, leaving you in a luxurious mood. This Wagyu is a work of art that has been carefully and painstakingly raised under strict standards and thorough management.

First, try the famous "Maesawa Aburi Beef Nigiri"!

The previous owner of the restaurant wondered if it would be possible to create a specialty of the restaurant using the famous "Maesawa beef," and the "Maesawa Aburi Beef Nigiri" was born. The fully aged Maesawa beef disappears in the blink of an eye when placed in the mouth, and is truly a "land toro" (land toro)! The balance between the savory flavor of the seared beef, the sourness of the shari, and the garlic between the shari and the meat is excellent. You will be able to eat a portion in no time at all without feeling the fatty or smelly taste of the meat. We hope you will enjoy the mouth-watering flavor of the meat, Riku-no Toro.
