Commitment

1

The size of the bonito

In spring, young 2-3kg first-catch bonito; in autumn, richly fatty 4-5kg returning bonito, carefully selected by season.

2

Raw bonito from Kochi

Most Kochi bonito is pole-and-line caught, leaving it beautiful and undamaged. We ship our select bonito direct from the port.

3

Straw from Shiga

We use straw hand-cut ourselves from vast contracted fields in Nagahama, Shiga. Dried straw burns hot with the finest smoky aroma.

4

The grilling

Over straw flames reaching 1000 degrees, we sear a crust about 5mm into the flesh, then finish with residual heat to lock in flavor.

5

The thickness of the cut

Cut over 1cm thick so the straw aroma fills your mouth, brimming with bonito flavor and a springy texture.

6

Our chosen salt

A fully sun-dried salt handmade by artisans from Kochi seawater. We select larger crystals for a mellow mineral taste.

Service

01

Robata & Warayaki

Bonito from Kochi and Omi beef from Shiga, grilled over straw right before you. Seasonal fish and vegetables draw out their fullest flavor over charcoal.

04

How to enjoy Robata

Robata Story

01

Watch the flames from Nagahama straw

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.

02

One slice, no salt and no condiments

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.

03

Switch gears with rock salt and citrus

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.

04

Taste local sake by the guinomi cup

Ten selected sake labels, four of them from Shiga: Daijiro, Kirakucho, Ichihiro and Shichihonyari. Compare them from 490 yen for a 100ml guinomi cup.

Producers

Tosa-Saga Port, KochiIkkatsu no Daiki

Saga is where the Kuroshio current first meets Japan, a town thriving on pole-and-line bonito fishing and one of Kochi's foremost fishing towns.

Tano, KochiTanoya Seihachi

A genuine sun-dried salt made using only the sun's heat, with painstaking care. Entirely handmade, it grows into crystals that melt in the mouth, the very finest sun-dried salt.

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。
