Vol.13 Oshu city

しゃぶしゃぶOshu City is located in the southern inland of Iwate Prefecture, and is well known as a farming city, especially for rice, apples and Maesawa beef.

Maesawa beef is often described as the king of beef in East Japan. (The king of beef in the west is Matsusaka beef.) It has a rich, marvelous taste.位置図

 

When you visit Oshu City, you can enjoy Maesawa beef in three different ways

 

One: Shabu Shabu (Japanese Hot Pot)

Put thinly sliced beef in boiled water for a few seconds, then dip the cooked beef in sauce before eating. Shabu Shabu is not only a way of eating but is also a fun activity.

 

Two: Yakiniku

Yakiniku is a very simple cuisine. Grill and eat it with dipping yakiniku sauce. I can promise when you eat it you’ll say, “it`s melting in my mouth!” That is Maesawa beef.

Three: Sushi

As you may know, sushi is usually made with rice and seafood. More than two decades ago, a sushi restaurant in Oshu invented a new styled sushi called Maesawa gyu (Maesawa beef) nigiri, and Maesawa gyu nigiri became a famous dish.握り

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
