WOOD-FIRED PIZZA & WINE NADESHICO — Kusatsu, Shiga

Omi beef and wood-fired pizza, a 2-minute walk from Minami-Kusatsu Station.

A casual Italian bar near Minami-Kusatsu Station. Omi beef, Neapolitan pizza from the wood-fired oven, and wine to go with them.

A bar where Omi's flavors gather.

CONCEPT

Wood-fired Pizza & Wine NADESHICO stands in front of JR Minami-Kusatsu Station. We carve Omi Nadeshico beef and bake Neapolitan pizza in a wood-fired oven, and we serve them in a bar where you can drop in without ceremony.

Grilled Omi beef, a staub pot of salmon and salmon roe rice, antipasti of Omi vegetables, and mussels steamed in white wine. Whatever you order, there is a glass to match it — we keep a wine list on the blackboard that changes with the season.

Counter seats, tables, a round table and raised sofa seats — 73 seats in all. From one glass after work to a party of eighty, the way you use us is up to you.

THE WOOD-FIRED OVEN

Why do we bake in a wood-fired oven?

A wood-fired oven holds a high heat and gives it back all at once. The pizza is done in a short time, so the moisture stays inside and the rim rises.

The oven came directly from Naples. We change the flour blend and the proving to suit the temperature and humidity, so no two days are quite alike.

The oven and the table

What comes out of the oven goes straight onto the table.
73 seats: a counter, tables, a round table and raised sofa seats.

We light the oven at 17:00 every day. The pizza that comes out of it, the grilled Omi beef and the antipasti of Omi vegetables all go straight onto the table. 73 seats: a counter you can sit at alone, tables, a round table for groups, and raised sofa seats. Inside is entirely non-smoking, with a smoking area outside the entrance.

Where can you eat Omi beef near Minami-Kusatsu Station?

Wood-fired Pizza & Wine NADESHICO is a 2-minute walk from JR Minami-Kusatsu Station, at 1-14-38 Noji. We serve Omi Nadeshico beef, so you can have it as a grill or as a Rossini with foie gras, from 17:00 every day.

Looking for an Italian in Kusatsu for a date?

The counter faces the wood-fired oven, and the raised sofa seats suit groups who want to settle in. Couples take the counter, groups take the round table — you can see both on any night. Dinner averages 5,000-5,999 yen a head - and a course includes the free-flow drinks.

Can you hold a party here? Seated parties run to 80 people. Private hire is for 30 to 80 guests. Course menus with free-flow drinks start at 5,500 yen, so year-end parties and welcome parties from around Kusatsu, Ritto and Moriyama are common. A projector, screen and microphone are available.

Late finishes are fine too. We are open until 24:00, which is why we see a lot of second-round guests coming from the station side.

Looking for a non-smoking Italian in Kusatsu?

Inside is entirely non-smoking. There is a smoking area outside the entrance, which is where smoking is allowed, so a group with both can be seated across the two.

薪窯に惹かれて入店。広い店内の奥に薪窯ありました。タパスの盛合せとピッツァをいただきました。どれも美味しいくて大満足。ビール好きなので、クラフトビールが数種類あったのもよかった。電車の時間があったので早めに出ましたが、他にもいろいろ食べたくなるお店でした。
