© 2026 UOMARU NAGAHAMA
Our story
Located in the heart of Nagahama, Shiga, Uomaru is a seafood izakaya where fresh fish and carefully selected sake meet the craft of robatayaki grilling.
Sashimi finished by skilled hands from fish delivered straight from the port, bonito from Kochi, and Omi beef from Shiga — grilled dynamically right before you over straw and charcoal.
A calm Japanese space with lively counter seats and relaxing private rooms — for dates, family dinners, and company banquets alike.
Commitment
In spring, young 2-3kg first-catch bonito; in autumn, richly fatty 4-5kg returning bonito, carefully selected by season.
Most Kochi bonito is pole-and-line caught, leaving it beautiful and undamaged. We ship our select bonito direct from the port.
We use straw hand-cut ourselves from vast contracted fields in Nagahama, Shiga. Dried straw burns hot with the finest smoky aroma.
Over straw flames reaching 1000 degrees, we sear a crust about 5mm into the flesh, then finish with residual heat to lock in flavor.
Cut over 1cm thick so the straw aroma fills your mouth, brimming with bonito flavor and a springy texture.
A fully sun-dried salt handmade by artisans from Kochi seawater. We select larger crystals for a mellow mineral taste.

How to enjoy Robata
How to enjoy straw-grilling and robata
The straw is cut by our own hands at contracted farms in Nagahama, Shiga. Watch the flames and the aroma rise from local rice-field straw, right across the counter.
Take the first piece plain. Let the sweetness of bonito shipped from Kochi and the smoky scent of the straw be the only things you taste.
From the second slice, reach for the condiments, rock salt and citrus. Fatty autumn returning bonito and straw-grilled Omi beef sharpen as the salt goes on.
Ten selected sake labels, four of them from Shiga: Daijiro, Kirakucho, Ichihiro and Shichihonyari. Compare them from 490 yen for a 100ml guinomi cup.

日曜日に行きました🙋♀️ 雰囲気も良く、カウンター席で🍻 滋賀県産をたくさん頂きました😋 箸袋がおみくじになっており 引いたら「😍大吉」飲み物1杯無料になりました✨ 食べ物も美味しいと、お酒がすすみます🍸 トイレは2階にありました🚻 お店の方も気さくに話してくれて また来たくなるお店でした(*^^*)
和の店内や美味しい料理が 豊富にあるのがよかったですが 注文を通してたはずのブリハラミ寿司が 届いてなかった点だけ残念です 近江牛の藁焼き 1859円 ブリハラミの造り 880円 エビクリーム春巻き 539円 日本一のコロッケ 429円 伝説のエビマヨ 319円 肉味噌おにぎり 319円 ブリハラミ寿司 1貫 209円 お造り5種盛り合わせ 1419円 (鮪、鰆 胡麻ダレ、金目鯛 入り酒、イカ 卵黄醤油 赤貝高知県産天日塩、長野県産 山葵添え) あん肝おろしポン酢 590円 付き出し 味噌胡瓜 500円 白ごはん 大 660円 赤星中瓶 704円
魚介はどれも新鮮でとても美味しかったです🤤 カルパッチョをはじめ、居酒屋定番のメニューも全てクオリティが高く大満足でした! 注文はQRコードを読み取ってスマホから行うスタイルで、操作も簡単でサクサク注文できます✨ ただ、近くにいたご年配の方は少し戸惑っていた様子でした😅 店員さんの接客も丁寧で、入店時からお見送りまで気持ちの良い対応をしていただきました。 カップルでの利用にもぴったりの雰囲気で、とてもおすすめです💑 また近くに行った際は、ぜひ食事をしに立ち寄りたいと思いました!
たしか彦根駅の近くにもあったと思われる地元の居酒屋さんです。こちらは長浜駅から徒歩数分の場所にあります。予約なしで飛び込みましたが、まだ時間がはやいせいかすぐに入ることが出来ました。 古い建屋をリノベして営業しているようで、なかなか趣のある空間になっています。2階に通されましたが落ち着ける雰囲気でした。 さて、お料理はお通しがきゅうり。くんせい漬け枝豆(495円)、揚げ湯葉としらすの大根サラダ、日本一のコロッケなどいただきました。全てハイボールのあてとなっております。落ち着いて飲むことが出来てよかったです。
5/12 追記 ⭐︎1→⭐︎4 また会社の飲み会があったので伺いました。 前回コースが口に合わなかったので、今回は単品で注文しました。 あれ?? 美味しい.... コースは作り置きだったのか、もしくは年末のくそ忙しい時期に行ったのが悪かったのかもしれないです。 単品で注文したら美味しいものしか来なかったです。 注文してから食事が届くスピードも程よく早い。 スタッフさんも元気が良くて、顔が整った人しかいません。 お店がワイワイがやがやしているので、苦手な人もいると思いますが、大人数のときは個室に通してくださいます。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 以前の口コミ↓ どうしたらいいの?ってくらいに美味しくない。 なんで週末あんなに混んでて、入れないくらい人気なのか分からない。 食事の味については好みもあるので一概にまずいです、というのは難しいけど自分の口には合わなかった。 宴会用にコースでお願いしたので、作り置きのものが出てきたのだと思う。 温かい状態で食べたいものも、ぬるい。 変わった味付けと油っぽいものが多く、食事の味なんかどうでもいいや、と思う職場の宴会でさえも、その場にいた半数が『変な味』と言った。 慣れていないアルバイトが多いのか、特にサービス面に素晴らしさを感じることもない。 コースの作り置きなら、もっと早く運んできてほしい。 飲みものを追加で注文するときにQRコードを読み取りLINE登録しないといけないのが、システム的にめんどくさい。 スマホでメニュー画面も見づらい。 QRコードで注文するのは良いとして個人情報を吸い上げてしまうLINEのような外部サイトを通さないシステムで注文させて欲しい。 雰囲気も別に良いとは思わない。 宴会用の席を用意してもらったけど、平日でも酔っ払いが多くうるさい。 他の人も言ってるがトイレがなんで2階にしかないのか。 用意された席が2階だったので困らなかったけど、宴会席とテーブル席の通路になるような狭い場所にあるのが使いにくいし入りにくい。 文句しか出ない。 良いところは宴会コースの安さと思った以上に量があったこと。 職場のどうでもいい飲み会になら使って良いと思うけど、個人的に美味しいご飯食べたいから行こう!ってなる場所ではない。
