The Ōmi Beef Difference
Ōmi is the oldest Wagyu brand in Japan, with records dating back to the Edo period. Raised in harmony with nature and tradition, cattle graze near Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake, and are cared for with extraordinary attention to stress-free, ethical farming. The result is beef that is not just luxurious, but elevated, nuanced, and unforgettable.
