The Keys to a Successful Nagahama Banquet: Uomaru's Commitment and Charm

Robata & Sake Uomaru Nagahama is housed in a renovated old building, creating a nostalgic yet sophisticated Japanese atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, you will be enveloped in a calm ambiance that lets you forget the everyday.

Savor Our Signature Dishes: Fresh Seafood and the Bounties of Shiga

  • Fresh Fish from the Port, Prepared with Expert Skill: Fresh seafood delivered daily from the fishing port is transformed into the finest sashimi by our skilled chefs. You can enjoy the catch of the day, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine. For example, our fatty yellowtail belly sashimi offers a melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich umami. The scent of the sea and the smooth texture that spreads in your mouth create a moment of pure bliss.
  • Dynamic Straw-Grilling Right Before Your Eyes: Another of our specialties is warayaki (straw-grilling), where we dynamically grill ingredients like bonito from Kochi and local Omi beef from Shiga Prefecture over straw right in front of our guests. The unique, fragrant aroma of the straw stimulates the appetite, and the ingredients, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, taste exceptional. You will be especially amazed by the rich flavor of our straw-grilled Omi beef, Shiga's prized brand of cattle. Our straw-grilled bonito from Kochi, known for its fragrant aroma and concentrated flavor, is offered at market price.

A Curated Selection of Sake, Including Local Shiga Brews, to Complement Your Meal

  • We offer a wide variety of carefully selected Japanese sake from all over the country to pair with your meal. Comparing different brands, from dry to sweet, is one of the ways to enjoy your time here. Of course, we also feature local Shiga sake, which pairs perfectly with local flavors. Even if you're not a sake expert, our staff will be happy to recommend a bottle that suits your taste, so please don't hesitate to ask. Our curated sake selection starts from 500 yen.

Versatile Spaces for a Wide Range of Occasions

  • Our restaurant features various seating options, from lively counter seats to relaxing private rooms.

We are praised for our lively yet calm atmosphere and the enjoyable conversations with our friendly staff.
    • Relaxing Private Rooms: For those who want a private space for company banquets, family dinners, or important meals, our private rooms are ideal. You can enjoy your meal and conversation at a leisurely pace without worrying about your surroundings. The restrooms are located on the second floor.
