Farm Restaurant Uemura Beyond

Enjoy the true pleasure of branded Wagyu beef at a farm-direct restaurant

This restaurant is directly managed by the Wagyu Kingdom Uemura Farm, which handles everything from the breeding to the fattening of "Shiraoi Beef," known as a brand of Wagyu. You can enjoy steaks and hamburg steaks made with "Uemura Wagyu," the Shiraoi beef produced at Uemura Farm. Uemura Wagyu, which is raised freely and walks a lot in the spacious pasture, has an excellent balance of lean meat with condensed, deep umami and fat with a mellow sweetness. The sirloin steak, which is the closest part to the rump in the loin and has a fine, tender texture, is a dish that allows you to directly taste the charm of Uemura Wagyu.

A luxurious time to savor delicious food and soothing scenery

The food is served as a course with appetizers, soup, and a main dish, but the green forest spreading out beyond the large windows soothes the heart, allowing you to relax and enjoy your meal without feeling stiff. The interior is decorated with an image of the movie "Harry Potter," which the owner loves, and a sense of playfulness peeks through the calm atmosphere. There are also Harry Potter-themed quizzes and picture books available for loan, so you won't get bored while waiting for your food. Lunchtime gets crowded, so it is recommended to make a reservation before you go.

Cafe Rimse

Enjoy traditional Ainu cuisine with ease

Operated by a social welfare corporation within Shiraoi Town, this cafe is located in the "Welcome Plaza" of Upopoy (National Ainu Museum and Park). The menu features dishes using ingredients deeply connected to Ainu culture, such as "Ohaw," a soup made by simmering salmon and vegetables seasoned with salt, and "Yuk Katsu Curry" made with Ezo venison. Don't miss the unique sweets and drinks you won't find elsewhere, such as "Peneimo" (dumplings made from frozen potatoes), "Piyapa Amazake" (sweet sake made from millet and rice malt), and "Kamuy Tonoto" (a traditional sake revived by a local brewery).

A warm space filled with local connections

"Rimse" is the Ainu word for "dance." The patchwork with Ainu embroidery patterns displayed in the shop was created by the "Minna no Kokoro Tsunageru Kyodai Patchwork no Kai" (Association for the 'Giant Patchwork' that Connects Everyone's Hearts) in Shiraoi Town. It embodies the wish for a growing circle of people who accept each other's differences and live together. "Cafe Rimse" also sells local products. It is recommended for a meal before visiting Upopoy, a break after walking around the spacious grounds, or even for finding souvenirs.

Ohau and Gibier Specialty Restaurant: Umisora no Haru

Ainu cuisine "Ohaw" made by Fuchi

A restaurant that reopened in April 2026 in the entrance area of Upopoy (National Ainu Museum and Park). Here, you can enjoy traditional Ainu cuisine such as "Ohaw" (a hearty soup), as well as Hokkaido-sourced game dishes, all created by Fuchi (the Ainu word for "grandmother") Fumiko Ito, who was born and raised in Shiraoi.

The popular "Seasonal Ohaw Set Meal" is a satisfying menu that includes Ohaw—made with large chunks of vegetables and salmon simmered slowly in kelp stock and seasoned gently with only salt and oil—along with foxtail millet rice, seasonal side dishes, roasted venison and bear meat, and Inaki tea.

A space where you can feel Ainu culture

The wood-based interior is decorated with Ainu crafts such as straw mats and wood-carved bears, allowing you to enjoy not only the food but also the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Another highlight of the "Seasonal Ohaw Set Meal" is that it is served on a "Nibutani-ita," a traditional Hokkaido wood-carved tray. Furthermore, the aprons worn by the staff are embroidered with Ainu patterns, making it a warm space where you can encounter Ainu culture throughout the restaurant.

Shiraoi Grandma

A variety of home-style dishes made by grandma

A cozy, homey restaurant where energetic grandmothers show off their culinary skills. They serve home-style cooking using locally harvested wild vegetables and seasonal ingredients. The "Grandma Set" is a daily special meal where veteran staff member "Tsuma-chan" plans the menu every day. With every main dish and small side dish prepared with great care, both your stomach and heart will be fully satisfied by the wholesome, delicious flavors.
There is also a wide variety of other menu items, such as the stylish-looking "Chicken and Vegetable Medicinal Masala Curry" and the "Special Hokke Dog" featuring fried Atka mackerel. The shop also sells souvenirs such as Grandma's special oyaki, wild herb tea, and handmade crafts.

An open space where people of all generations and backgrounds gather

The average age of the kitchen staff is in their early 80s. While they may occasionally forget things or make mistakes, the cheerful spirit that lets them laugh it off is part of what makes "Grandma" so charming. Perhaps drawn by this laid-back atmosphere, people of all ages—from fifth graders to those in their 80s—work together happily and enjoy the time they spend together.
The second floor of the shop is a shared office, and it is said that some travelers stay long-term at local guesthouses, work remotely, and come to "Grandma" to refuel. A space where people of all generations and backgrounds can freely interact and where laughter never ceases, it is filled with a warmth that makes you want to say "I'm home" the moment you walk in.

Farm Restaurant "Uemura Base"

Enjoying specialty "Shiraoi Beef" casually

This restaurant, attached to a ranch, allows you to enjoy "Uemura Wagyu"—produced at the Wagyu Kingdom Uemura Farm, which handles everything from breeding to fattening of the branded "Shiraoi Beef"—in a casual setting. While takeout hamburgers are the main focus, the eat-in menu offers hamburger sets and curry. The "Shiraoi Beef King Raclette Cheese Burger" is the No. 1 most popular item, featuring a patty crafted to let you enjoy the meat simply, topped with a generous drizzle of rich, melted raclette cheese. The powerful meaty texture of the coarsely ground patty, the rich homemade demi-glace sauce, and the creamy cheese come together for a satisfying and delicious experience.

Energetic cows teach us the meaning of receiving life

The Ishiyama district of Shiraoi Town, where the Wagyu Kingdom Uemura Farm is located, is in the mountains, far from the city center. At the ranch next to the restaurant, the cattle graze leisurely and roam freely. Being in this environment, where you can see the cattle being raised with such care up close, makes you truly appreciate the preciousness of the lives we consume. There is also a free deck space next to the restaurant with benches and hammocks, and the satisfaction of biting into a hearty hamburger while gazing out at the magnificent nature is truly exceptional.
