Mitaya Honten Yasuragi-no-Sato, a restaurant in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture, known for its stage for Noh theater, launched a new product, 'Wagyu Shigureni,' on April 17, 2026. Since its release, it has received an enthusiastic response, with customers describing it as a 'taste of sheer bliss that makes you unable to stop eating rice.'
■ Serious Wagyu Shigureni from a Steakhouse
Responding to numerous requests for 'the taste of Mitaya Honten at home,' this highly anticipated product was born. The key feature is the use of the same strictly selected Kuroge Wagyu beef served in their restaurant steaks. Artisans cook it slowly using a unique method to deliver an authentic taste.
■ A Symphony of Selected Ingredients
Mitaya Honten prides itself on a selection of ingredients that you can distinguish in a single bite:
- Selected Kuroge Wagyu: High-quality meat texture similar to their steaks.
- Asakura Sansho: Rare Japanese pepper that provides a refreshing and elegant aroma.
- Tanegashima Brown Sugar: Rich, mellow sweetness that enhances the umami of the meat.
The reason Mitaya Honten's 'Wagyu Shigureni' is so refined and free of off-flavors is due to the invisible 'effort' of the artisans. Any excess fat or scum released during cooking must be removed to avoid muddiness in flavor. Artisans stay by the pot and meticulously remove these impurities repeatedly to condense only the umami of the ingredients.
■ Video Release: The Behind-the-Scenes of Artisanal Preparation
To showcase the secret behind this deep flavor, the restaurant has released a video of the cooking process, demonstrating the careful labor of repeatedly removing fat and scum.
