What do these columns cover?

Three subjects, mostly: Omi beef and what buying a whole carcass changes, the stone oven and what the fire does to the dough, and how to pick wine off the blackboard. They are written from the counter rather than from a book, so where we are unsure we say so.

Celebrating Kusatsu Anniversaries and Heartwarming Moments with the Bounties of Omi

A Kusatsu anniversary with a loved one. The time spent thinking about how to spend it and where to dine is, in itself, the beginning of a wonderful memory. While glamorous restaurants are appealing, have you ever wished for a place where you can relax without being too formal, yet still feel a sense of specialness? It can also be surprisingly difficult to find the perfect spot for a small gathering with close friends or an after-work get-together when you want to add a touch of luxury to your daily life.

We, at Omi Bar nadeshico, were established in this city of Kusatsu anniversaries to fulfill such wishes. Featuring the rich ingredients of our local Omi region, we create unforgettable moments in a casual bar style that everyone can enjoy.

Omi Bar nadeshico answers the call for this perfect balance.

The questions we are asked most at the counter are about the beef and the fire. Which part of the Omi beef is this, and why does it change through the year? Why does a stone oven make a different pizza from a gas deck? Which wine on the blackboard goes with the grill, and which with the margherita? None of these need a long answer at the table, but they are worth writing down properly — so we do, here.

Reading is one thing; the oven is another. It is lit from 17:00 every day, two minutes from the east exit of Kusatsu Station.
