Sanmachi Suji Historical Area

Each slice of Hida Beef is cut to order, hand-pressed onto sushi rice (酢飯, Su-Meshi, Vinegared Rice), placed atop a senbei, and then lightly aburi-ed (炙り, Torched) to perfection before being served. While the redness of the meat might be off-putting to some, rest assured that it is fully cooked, just at a low temperature in order to preserve the softness, juiciness, and natural colour of the meat. What's more, the ingenuity of serving it on a piece of senbei makes it both environmentally friendly (without the use of any disposables), as well as convenient, because you can eat the entirety of the dish without having any leftover trash at the end. For most people, rather than use chopsticks, you can simply pick up the Hida Beef Nigiri Sushi with your hands and eat it in a single mouthful like the traditional method of eating sushi. Hida Kotte Ushi is definitely the Best Hida Beef Sushi shop you can find in Takayama, and well worth the experience and queue.
