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 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.

02

Sake & Local Brews

A generous selection of sake chosen from across Japan, including local Shiga brews — from dry to sweet. Our staff suggest the one glass that suits your dish, so you can enjoy sake tasting in Moriyama.

03

Seafood & Sashimi

Fresh fish shipped straight from the port, finished into sashimi by skilled hands. Enjoy the seafood of Moriyama in seasonal plates such as our five-kind sashimi platter.

04

Omi Beef & Omi Chicken

Shiga's specialty Omi beef, straw-grilled or miso-marinated, and overnight-dried Omi chicken. Enjoy Shiga's premium ingredients dynamically over charcoal in Moriyama.

05

Private Rooms & Banquets

Fully private tatami rooms for 2–20 guests, banquet courses with free-flow drinks, and full-venue bookings for 30–40. Steps from Moriyama Station — ideal for company parties and gatherings.

How to enjoy Robata

Robata Story

01

Watch the fire from the ground floor counter

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.

02

One slice, the moment it arrives

Take it plain first. The contrast between the smoke-wrapped surface and the moist flesh left inside is the first thing worth noticing.

03

A second pass with condiments, salt and citrus

Change direction halfway through the plate. Rock salt and citrus lighten the finish on straw-grilled Omi beef and on richly fatty bonito alike.

04

Upstairs on the tatami, take your time with sake

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.

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.

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。

ういろう ★★★★★ 1 か月前

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。

Nao Maeda ★★★★★ 2 か月前

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。

Satos Eny ★★★★★ 11 か月前

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
