Specializing in Hida Wagyu Beef
This Takayama restaurant proudly features only top-grade A4–A5 ranked Hida beef, celebrated for its marbling and rich flavor. Each wagyu beef cut is thoughtfully selected to suit the cooking style—whether it’s a seared Japanese-style steak, delicate shabu-shabu, or home-style taste of sukiyaki—ensuring the perfect balance of texture and taste in every dish.
Yagura’s signature steak is grilled over high heat with a house-made sauce, following a traditional technique of gently removing excess fat to highlight the natural umami of the meat. Seasoning is kept simple and refined to let the natural quality of the Hida beef take center stage. In addition, vegetables and mountain herbs are locally sourced from the Hida region, too.
