New Wagyu Nigiri Menu Launches at Yukigekka Restaurant

Wagyu Nigiri

Yukigekka, the Japanese restaurant at SEKIYA RESORT Terrace Midobaru, has begun offering a new menu item: wagyu nigiri featuring premium Oita wagyu beef. This dish was created with the desire to let more guests enjoy the delicious local wagyu in a simple yet luxurious way.

The nigiri uses sirloin from Oita wagyu, known for its fine marbling and sweet, high-quality fat. Through precise cooking techniques, the beef achieves a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness the moment it touches your palate, drawing out the rich umami flavor of authentic wagyu. Priced at 1,980 yen (tax included) for 2 pieces, this dish adds a special touch to dinner during your travels and makes an excellent accompaniment to sake.

The wagyu nigiri showcases meticulous attention not only to the ingredients but also to every detail of flavor. The sushi vinegar used in the rice and the finishing sauce are both homemade by the head chef. The overall balance is carefully designed to enhance the wagyu's umami without becoming too heavy.

The head chef created this menu with the hope that "more people can casually enjoy luxurious and delicious Oita wagyu." Experience Yukigekka's unique wagyu nigiri, which concentrates the appeal of local ingredients into a single piece of sushi.
