Robata & Sake Uomaru Nagahama Store meets all these criteria and even offers special surprises. In the next sections, we will introduce the specific attractions of our restaurant.

A Unique Culinary Experience Forged by Fresh Fish from the Port and Straw-Grilling

At Robata & Sake Uomaru Nagahama Store, the first thing we invite you to enjoy is our array of dishes that shine with incredible freshness and masterful craftsmanship. For a meal on a special day, the quality of the ingredients directly translates to your satisfaction. We proudly serve carefully selected treasures from the sea and the mountains of Shiga that will not disappoint.

Incredibly Fresh Sashimi Direct from the Fishing Port

Our fresh fish, sourced directly from fishing ports across Japan, are truly gems of the sea. Each dish is meticulously prepared by our skilled chefs, who select the most delicious fish of the season to bring out the ingredients' natural umami to the fullest. For example, our Yellowtail Belly Sashimi, with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor, is available from 880 yen and is sure to impress your palate.

Spectacular Straw-Grilling Right Before Your Eyes

Another of our signature specialties is straw-grilling (warayaki). We take fresh bonito sourced from Kochi and Shiga's prized Omi beef and grill them dramatically over straw right in front of you. Straw-grilling instantly sears the ingredients at high temperatures, locking in their natural umami while imparting a fragrant, smoky aroma.

• Kochi-Direct Bonito Straw-Grilled: Available at market price. The rich flavor of the bonito, infused with the aroma of straw, and its condensed umami will fill your mouth.
• Shiga-Grown Omi Beef Straw-Grilled: From 1,859 yen. This exquisite dish, with its savory aroma and enhanced natural meat flavor, is a must-try for beef lovers.

The sight of flames dancing before you turns the time waiting for your meal into entertainment, adding a spark to your conversation. These dishes, enjoyed with all five senses, will further enrich the dining experience on your special day.

The Perfect Pairing! A Curated Selection of Sake from Across Japan and Local Shiga Brews

To accompany our signature dishes, we invite you to enjoy our carefully selected sake from all over Japan and local brews from Shiga. We always have an extensive list of labels available, with a wide price range starting from 500 yen. Even if you are not a sake connoisseur, please don't worry. Our staff will be happy to recommend the perfect pairing for your meal.

• From Junmai to Daiginjo: We offer various types of sake to suit your preferences.
• Local Shiga Sake: We also have a rich selection of famous local brews nurtured by the regional climate, allowing you to savor the unique taste of Shiga.
