Mie Prefecture, with its climate, natural features, water quality, etc., is an ideal place for raising Matsusaka beef.
Raised with an abundance of love and special care for two and a half to three years,
our cattle become splendid Matsusaka beef.
We carefully select only the highest grade A5 beef.
The fat (sashi) melts like melting snow with

In the Edo period (1603-1867), the "okage-mairi" (pilgrimage to Ise) was very popular,
People yearned to go to Ise or see the Ise-Road at least once in their lifetime.
Traditionally, there has been no omikuji(a fortune slip) at Ise Jingu Shrine.
Just visiting Ise Shrine which you longed for as "once in a lifetime," will bring you great luck.
