Our story
Located in the heart of Moriyama, 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 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 grilling happens on the ground floor. From the counter the flames are close at hand, and the crackle of burning straw carries to the table and terrace seats.
Take it plain first. The contrast between the smoke-wrapped surface and the moist flesh left inside is the first thing worth noticing.
Change direction halfway through the plate. Rock salt and citrus lighten the finish on straw-grilled Omi beef and on richly fatty bonito alike.
Upstairs there are three fully enclosed tatami rooms with walls and doors, each seating seven to ten guests. Out of view, you can linger over Shiga sake from dry to sweet.

By understanding the unique characteristics of each room and choosing one that matches your purpose and group size, you can enjoy a more satisfying experience. Here, we introduce the main types of private rooms and their respective usage scenarios.
The Moriyama Zashiki Private Room, with its traditional Japanese ambiance, is particularly popular among elderly guests and those with small children. Its characteristic feature is that you can stretch your legs and sit comfortably, making it less tiring even for long meals. We recommend it to those who wish to savor our fresh Moriyama Station Seafood at their leisure in a tranquil setting.
Example Usage Scenarios:
We also offer Zashiki private rooms with horigotatsu (sunken kotatsu tables), so even those who find it difficult to sit seiza-style can relax comfortably. Please enjoy your meal and conversation to the fullest in a space imbued with soft lighting and the warmth of wood.
Our modernly designed table private rooms are ideal for business entertainment and small get-togethers. The chair-seating style is suitable for formal occasions and facilitates smooth conversation.

Furthermore, our extensive selection of Moriyama Sake allows you to fully enjoy food and sake pairings. We can also accommodate requests for projector and sound equipment usage if you consult us in advance.
While Moriyama Station Seafood is our signature dish, our offerings don't stop there. Our Moriyama Robatayaki, which utilizes Shiga's rich ingredients, and the renowned brand beef Omi Beef are also highly praised by our customers. These dishes will further enhance your special time in a private room.
Our prized Moriyama Station Seafood uses fresh catches delivered directly from the market every morning. Our skilled chefs bring out the maximum flavor of the ingredients, offering them in various preparations such as sashimi, sushi, grilled dishes, and simmered dishes. Seasonal seafood offers a special taste only available during that period. Please thoroughly enjoy the bounty of the sea throughout the seasons in your private room.
The allure of our Moriyama Robatayaki lies in the live experience of slowly grilling fresh seafood, local vegetables, and Omi beef right before your eyes over charcoal. The far-infrared effect locks in the ingredients' umami, resulting in fragrant and juicy finishes. You can enjoy the true essence of Robatayaki not only at the counter seats but also in our spacious private rooms.
The savory aroma of the grilled dishes stimulates the appetite, allowing you to savor them with all five senses. The time spent conversing with family and friends around hot Robatayaki will surely become an unforgettable memory. Especially in winter, warm Robatayaki warms you to the core.
Omi Beef, considered one of Japan's three major Wagyu brands, is characterized by its fine marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture. At our restaurant, we offer carefully selected Omi Beef prepared in various ways, such as steak, seared sushi, and shabu-shabu.
Being able to enjoy high-quality meat dishes alongside seafood is a major appeal of our restaurant. For those near Moriyama Station who want to have both seafood and meat, we also recommend course meals that combine Omi Beef with Moriyama Station Seafood. Please take your time and fully enjoy Shiga's rich bounty in a private room.
Delicious food is incomplete without delicious sake. At our restaurant, we offer a rich selection of carefully chosen sakes from all over Japan, including Moriyama Sake that pairs well with our dishes. The pairings with fresh Moriyama Station Seafood, Moriyama Robatayaki, and Omi Beef are particularly exceptional.
For delicately flavored seafood dishes, we recommend crisp, dry sake or Junmai Ginjo sake where the umami of rice is clearly felt. These will enhance the seafood's flavor while refreshingly cleansing the palate.
Our sake sommelier will recommend the perfect sake to match your preferences, so please feel free to ask.
While red wine is commonly paired with meat dishes like Omi Beef, sake actually complements them exceptionally well. Aromatic and rich Junmai Daiginjo or robust Junmai Ginjo sake will further enhance the meat's umami, offering new culinary discoveries.
For example, a Junmai Ginjo sake with a strong rice umami and a balanced acidity and richness is recommended for Omi Beef steak. It will cleanse the palate of the meat's richness while allowing the flavors to spread even more richly in your mouth.

50過ぎのおっさん4人、高校時代の仲間で利用。2階の畳の間。鰹の藁焼きをはじめ、白米、醤油に至るまで、全て美味かったです。店員さんも優秀な人ばかりなのでしょう、空いた皿やコップが放置されるということが無かった。良いお店を見つけたと思いました。
接客がとても好印象でした! オススメの料理を教えてくれたり、空いたグラスやお皿もそっと下げてくれる気遣いがとても良かったです。 カツオのタタキ最高でした! 藁の香りがしてとても美味しかったです。フンワリしていて、塩で食べるのが私はとても気に入りました。 お箸がおみくじになっているの面白かったです。
2階の喫煙席でゆっくり過ごさせて貰えました。ご飯が美味しく、接客も丁寧でした。 入店前(店先)から気を配り、小柄な女性スタッフさんがこちらが呼ぶより先に対応に来てくれたり、全体的に雰囲気が明るく厨房の男性スタッフさんまでしっかり挨拶されていて、退店時まで終始対応が良かったです。 今回2回目の利用でしたが、次もまた行きたいと思います。
守山駅前の貴重な飲み屋に行くんや!! ということで「魚丸」さんへ 滋賀県内で複数店構えられている飲み屋さんですね 駅から徒歩すぐなので便利。 守山駅周辺は気軽に利用できる居酒屋が少ないイメージですね。 2軒目で利用させてもらいました 店員さんは若い人ばかりですが、元気で接客が丁寧で良いですね。 これだけでも推せる。 滋賀に来たので、何か滋賀独自のものを頼みたいと思っていたら結構ありました。 小鮎の佃煮は食べたことないのでありがたいです。 琵琶湖で獲れる焼きエビも初めて。 ドリンクも琵琶湖ハイボールは少し甘めで美味しかったです。 総じて大変良かったです。 ごちそうさまでした
明るい雰囲気とカウンターから調理している様子が見えて楽しかった! また接客の対応も丁寧で良かったです(^^) だし巻き玉子がめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです🥚
何度か魚丸さんには来させていただいていますが、 いつもスタッフさんが親切で大好きなお店です。 今回も携帯電話での飲み物のオーダーに手間取っているのを察知した店員さんが さりげなく注文を取りに来てくださいました。 またひとりが喫煙者だったために2階に席を変更していただいたり、 臨機応変に対応してくださるのが素敵です。 御料理も今回初めてコースにしましたがどれも美味しくいただきました。
