A popular menu item at Restaurant & Cafe Genbudo is the Tajima Beef Roast Beef Ontama-don. Roast beef made from Tajima beef is topped with extravagant toppings that almost hide the rice, making it hearty. Mixed with the melty hot spring eggs and special sauce, the flavor of Tajima beef and the sweetness of the fat are exquisite. (Comes with mini soup.)

We use hand-kneaded hamburgers made from 100% Tajima beef. You can also take out the most authentic burger with the classic demi-glace sauce.

From homemade castella to parfait! Sweets are also available

Genbudo Castella Parfait is a very popular menu item. You can choose from ``Milk Castella'' made with locally produced Hiraya milk and Okachan eggs, ``Brown Sugar Castella'' and ``Matcha Castella'' which are inspired by black basalt.

A popular original menu where you can enjoy handmade castella. This is a plate with two combinations: "Milk Castella" and "Brown Sugar Castella" or "Matcha Castella."
