How Omi beef is graded and why buying a whole carcass changes what we can serve, what actually happens to dough inside a stone oven, and how to choose wine without reading the whole blackboard. These are the things we get asked at the counter, written down.

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.

These are precisely the needs we aim to meet at Omi Bar nadeshico. We offer the just right anniversary space—less formal than a French or Italian specialty restaurant, yet more immersive in its ingredients and dedication to each dish than a typical izakaya.

Enhancing Your Kusatsu Anniversary: Seasonal Hospitality at Omi Bar nadeshico

We cherish the arrival of each changing season and offer anniversary courses that generously feature the most vibrant seasonal bounty.

Seasonal Course or A La Carte: Which to Choose?

When choosing your anniversary meal, you might wonder whether to opt for a seasonal course or select freely from the a la carte menu. Please consider the benefits of each to make the best choice.

  • Relax with a seasonal course: Our courses, which allow you to enjoy seasonal ingredients to the fullest, are perfect for an anniversary. You can savor the bounty of Omi in a cohesive flow from appetizer to dessert. The pairings are already considered, so you can focus on your special meal without having to decide on each dish. Surprises are also easy to incorporate into the timing of the course.

You can choose as you please from our wide range of bar dishes made with Omi ingredients. This is a great option if you have clear food preferences or want to enjoy a lot of a particular dish.

Both options are designed to enrich your Kusatsu anniversary. We would be happy to offer suggestions tailored to your needs when you book.

Choosing Drinks is Part of the Anniversary Fun

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.
