Iga Beef
Iga beef comes from beef cattle raised in Iga.
It is slightly expensive, just like Matsusaka, Kobe or Yonezawa beef. However, as Iga beef is mostly consumed mostly in Iga, it has become an almost “fantasy beef” that can hardly be enjoyed elsewhere.
The following are some of the restaurants where you can enjoy good Iga beef. It is also available at butcher shops.

What is Sukiyaki?
Cook beef and vegetables with sugar and soy sauce.
Dip in clean, freshly beaten raw egg, and enjoy.
*There are restaurants that offer not only sukiyaki but also other beef dishes such as “shabu shabu”, in which thin-sliced beef is boiled and eaten with “sesame” or sour “ponzu” dipping sauce, “gyu-don”, a rice bowl topped with sukiyaki beef, or steak.
Please ask for details at the information centers or hotels.
