    Restaurant Iwaizumi (inside the roadside station Iwaizumi)

    Shorthorn beef raised freely on large pastures is a healthy beef with low fat and a high red color. The ``Iwaizumi Teishoku'', which mainly consists of tender braised beef, is a popular dish. In addition, the noodles of ``Acorn Ramen'', which can only be tasted here, are made using wheat flour from Iwate Prefecture and special acorn flour.

    Iwaizumi Shorthorn Beef

    Tankaku beef is different from the commonly known marbled meat, as it is mostly low-fat, red beef, and has the meat's natural flavor. Recommended for those who are concerned about consuming too much fat and those who want to enjoy the natural flavor of beef. It has also been selected as a "World Heritage Site of Food" by the Slow Food International Association. These cows were raised healthy in "Natsuyama Fuyusato".
