Direct from the Fishing Port! Moriyama Robatayaki's Seafood Chosen for Freshness

The undisputed star of Robatayaki is, of course, seafood. Given Shiga Prefecture's location, we not only source fresh seafood from nearby waters but also collaborate with excellent fishing ports nationwide, dedicating ourselves to procuring fish in its prime condition each day. Direct sourcing from fishing ports, bypassing intermediaries, ensures maximum freshness upon arrival at our restaurant. Fresh fish are living creatures, breathing and vibrant. Our mission is to cherish that life and deliver it to your table in its finest form.

Gem-like Seafood Handpicked by Expert Appraisers

• Rigorous Daily Selection Criteria: Our seasoned experts meticulously inspect each fish for vibrant color, firm flesh, and bright gills, never overlooking even the slightest blemish or variation in condition.
• Rapid Delivery to Catch the Season: Fish caught fresh from the port are swiftly transported to our restaurant using methods that preserve maximum freshness. We maintain strict temperature control during transit to prevent any compromise to their quality.
• Tailored Cooking Methods for Each Fish: Even for the same type of fish, the optimal cooking method varies depending on its condition that day. The precise grilling technique reflects the chef's experience and skill. In Robatayaki, the far-infrared effect of charcoal grilling slowly cooks the fish, locking in its inherent umami.

This meticulous dedication is precisely what creates the unparalleled deliciousness of the seafood served at Moriyama Robatayaki. With a single bite, a rich aroma of the sea, as if you're tasting the ocean breeze, fills your mouth.

The Bounty of Shiga's Land: Local Vegetables Gracing Moriyama Robatayaki's Masterpieces

Beyond seafood, fresh vegetables delivered from local contracted farms are an indispensable element when discussing Moriyama Robatayaki. Shiga Prefecture is blessed with rich soil and pristine water, cultivating a wide variety of vegetables. We maximize these local advantages by actively incorporating seasonal vegetables. Field-grown vegetables, bathed in abundant sunlight and drawing nutrients from the soil, boast robust flavors and aromas.

The Reassurance of Seeing the Producers' Faces

1. Stable Supply through Direct Contracts: By establishing direct contracts with trusted local farmers, we consistently secure fresh and safe vegetables. Through communication with the farmers, we also stay informed about the daily conditions of their fields and the growth status of their vegetables.
2. Cherishing the Changing Seasons: Our menu evolves with the changing seasons, featuring spring mountain vegetables, succulent summer vegetables, autumnal root vegetables, and winter leafy greens. We wish for our guests to experience the most delicious moment of each season.
3. Bringing Out the Natural Sweetness and Umami of Vegetables: The charcoal fire in Robatayaki crisps the surface of vegetables while retaining moisture internally, concentrating their sweetness. From simple salt-grilled dishes to richly flavored creations using miso and soy sauce, we strive to maximize the inherent taste of each ingredient.

At Moriyama Robatayaki, the seasonal vegetable lineup is one of the joys of every visit. You might even discover rare vegetables not commonly found on everyday tables.
