Located at the southernmost tip of the Hidaka Mountains, beside Cape Erimo overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is the restaurant and farm inn "Tankaku Kingdom Maburitto." This is a restaurant run by Takahashi Farm, which raises Tankaku cattle with love, and aims to spread the appeal of Tankaku beef. Not only can you enjoy a variety of delicious Tankaku beef dishes, but it is also a place where you can learn about Tankaku beef, which is rare even across the country.

Short-horned cattle are characterized by their brown appearance and short horns.

In the area around the ranch and restaurant, the grass sways in the Pacific Ocean breeze, and behind the cows grazing on the grass is a vast pasture overlooking the ocean and Cape Erimo. Have you ever tried shorthorn beef? The red meat is actually very flavorful and delicious. The fat is light, yet has a deep flavor.

Despite its deliciousness, farms that raise Tankaku beef are now very rare nationwide, but here at "Tankaku Kingdom Morito" you can enjoy delicious lean meat - Tankaku beef.

A sunny, bright restaurant

I visited the shop in winter, but apparently most customers come in spring and summer.

"Tankaku Yokubari Gyudon" (1,280 yen, excluding tax). Even the chopstick rests are cute and made of beef!

The popular dish at the restaurant "Tankaku Kingdom Morito" is the "Tankaku Beef Lunch." The "Tankaku Greedy Beef Bowl" (1,280 yen, excluding tax), which allows you to enjoy three different cuts, is reasonably priced and a favorite among local regulars. If you're looking for a luxurious lunch to spice up your trip, we recommend the "Steak Set" (from 2,970 yen, excluding tax), which allows you to choose from fillet, ribeye, or sirloin. There are also some unique menu items, such as "Soup Curry" (1,060 yen, excluding tax), which uses a broth made from the tail of the Tankaku beef. You can enjoy Tankaku beef in a variety of dishes.

Sunset view from the shop

The direct sales corner at the entrance of the store. Of course, you can just stop by the direct sales corner.

In addition, meat is also sold directly at the entrance of "Tankaku Kingdom Morito." In addition to Tankaku beef, you can also purchase processed foods such as Tankaku beef hamburgers. My personal recommendation is the "Smoked Liver"! It has no distinctive liver odor and has an enchanting rich liver flavor. It can be eaten as is once cut, making it the perfect snack to go with alcohol at a home party. It seems to be a product with many repeat customers.

"I hope people will feel closer to shorthorn cattle," says Mr. Takahashi, manager of Takahashi Farm.

The BBQ house is next to the restaurant.

And lastly, if you are going all the way to Erimo and would like to stay overnight, we recommend Farm Inn. You can go see the shorthorn cattle raised at Takahashi Farm, have a BBQ with the producers in the evening, and get a little closer to the shorthorn cattle production site.

At Farm Inn, we stayed in a Japanese-style room on the second floor of the restaurant.

If you have family, friends, or friends from overseas visiting, please keep the restaurant and farm inn "Tankado Kingdom Morito" in mind♪
