Farm Restaurant Uemura Beyond

Enjoy the best of branded Wagyu beef at a restaurant directly managed by the farm

Restaurant under the direct management of "Wagyu Kingdom Uemura Farm", which is engaged in the entire process from mating to fattening of "Shiraoi Beef", known as a branded Wagyu beef. You can enjoy steaks and hamburgers of Shiraoi beef "Uemura Wagyu" produced at Uemura Ranch. Uemura Wagyu, which is raised on a spacious ranch, has an excellent balance of lean meat with concentrated depth and flavor, and fat with a mild sweetness. The sirloin steak, which is closest to the buttocks of the loin and has a fine, tender texture, is a dish that allows you to directly taste the appeal of Uemura Wagyu.

A luxurious time to enjoy soothing scenery and delicious food

The dishes are served as an appetizer, soup, and main course, but the green forest spreading out beyond the large windows soothes the soul, allowing diners to relax and enjoy their meal without feeling self-conscious. The restaurant is decorated in the image of Harry Potter, a favorite movie of the owner, and a sense of fun can be seen in the relaxed atmosphere. Quizzes and picture books related to Harry Potter are available for borrowing, keeping diners entertained while they wait for their food. The restaurant is crowded during lunch time, so it is recommended to make a reservation before going.
