Wagyuan

Wagyuan is a popular restaurant where guests can savor Hitachi Beef and Hanazono Beef, two wagyu specialties of Ibaraki Prefecture. The restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful traditional garden that harmonizes with the tranquil Japanese-style interior. Diners can enjoy a delicious meal in this serene, hidden oasis.
The famous dish is Wagyu Hitsumabushi (a wooden bowl filled with rice and topped with chopped ingredients). Hitsumabushi, made with the freshest, juiciest Wagyu beef, is rich in flavor and truly exquisite. It can be enjoyed in three stages: first, savor the richly grilled Wagyu beef as it is, then add various seasonings, and finally pour a flavorful dashi stock over it.
The restaurant also offers a wide range of other Wagyu beef dishes, including steaks, all made with fresh, local ingredients.
For dinner, guests can enjoy a course menu, making it the perfect place to share special moments over a wonderful evening of delicious food and drinks.
