Steak at Ocean Terrace is truly a cut above
Make your steak and local vegetables just the way you like on a large lava-stone grill overlooking the beautiful ocean sunset at the first “self-grill” style steakhouse in Japan. The view from this west coast was selected as one of “Japan’s Top 100 Sunsets”. Enjoy this rare chance to taste Awaji beef which comes from only 200 heads of cattle per year. The top floor features a gorgeous space ideal for a party.
Among the wealth of culinary options here, steak is the main act, and it does not disappoint. Although many already know Kobe Beef, few realize that all the cattle (Tajima cow) which met strict criteria for Kobe beef are bred and born in Hyogo Prefecture including Awaji Island. Awaji Beef come from the same kind of cattle as Kobe Beef but they are those which passed the different set of strict standards. The island ranchers reserve the top cattle as Awaji Beef, one of the rarest types in the world. Ocean Terrace is easily one of the world's finest spots to enjoy this treasure for steak lovers far and wide.
Awaji Island is famous as "miketsukuni," an official designation from the Japanese emperor as 1 of only 3 regions entrusted to provide food to the imperial court. This illustrious history led to the development of "agriculture for aristocrats" as the best farming techniques have combined with some of the most favorable environmental conditions to produce ingredients that exceed the expectations of even the most demanding gourmand. The buffet of side dishes, that run the gamut from salads to sausage and delectable desserts, is an ideal chance to sample the best the island has to offer.
Jazz, wine and steak is an age-old trio of perfect harmony celebrated worldwide. Ocean Terrace takes this up a notch. Peruse the extensive wine collection or ask for a recommendation from the knowledgeable staff for the perfect vintage to enjoy with your choice of steak. Then sit back and enjoy live jazz performances every week by musicians brought from all over Japan. This classic combination is the perfect complement to a stellar sunset on Awaji Island West Coast.
