Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜Restaurant Opera

I ate Omi beef steak. The taste was great. The fat from the meat comes out juicy and the slightly sweet aroma is indescribable. Also, I was surprised to see that they placed French fries under the meat to prevent it from cooling down. Although it was a ceramic plate, I was able to enjoy it piping hot and delicious till the end. Lunch with a vague view of Lake Biwa was a blissful time.

I had strawberry afternoon tea. The meal overlooking Lake Biwa was wonderful. The food was delicious, and the free refill drinks included flavored tea and chai.

I visited this store for the first time for lunch on a bus tour. While there are many dining venues on tours that claim to be restaurants but feel like cafeterias, this restaurant was a genuine restaurant. The view and interior are beautiful, the atmosphere is good, and above all, the reception from the hall staff is very positive. The beef stew served was exquisite, and the afternoon tea set-style dessert that came with it was also satisfying. The buffet at the Prince Hotel next door is also pretty good, but it's no exaggeration to say that this is a hidden gem.
