Awaji Island is a production center of Japanese beef. How about rewarding yourself for your hard work by eating plenty of rare Awaji beef? There are two restaurants where you can enjoy Awaji beef.
Steak Restaurant with Ocean View, Ocean Terrace
“Ocean Terrace” is like a seaside resort. The terrace seats are recommended for the coming season and are the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. In addition to the Awaji Beef Comparison Set, there is also a set in which you can choose your favorite part of the beef and the amount of beef you would like to eat. You can choose to have the chef grill the beef for you or cook it yourself on a special lava-stone grill.
