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.

Moriyama
About a 3-minute walk from JR Moriyama Station, at 14-2 Umeda-cho. On the second floor we have three fully private tatami rooms with doors and walls, each sized for 7–10 guests, usable for parties of 2 to 20.
Parties of 6 or fewer are seated in a semi-private room. All three fully private rooms are tatami, and together they take 2 to 20 guests.
We offer eight banquet courses with two hours of free-flow drinks, from 5,500 yen including tax — from the Uomaru Standard (11 dishes, 5,500 yen) to charcoal-grilled Omi duck and Omi beef, the alfonsino and clam dashi hot pot, and the Omi beef sukiyaki course at 11,000 yen.
We take full-venue bookings for 30 to 40 guests, and seated banquets for up to 50. There are 80 seats in all: tables, counter and terrace on the first floor, tatami on the second.
Families are very welcome. Smoking is separated — the first floor is non-smoking, while the second floor and terrace allow smoking — so please tell us your seating preference when you book.
The fully private tatami rooms have doors and walls, so they suit business dinners across the southern Shiga area. We build the meal around straw-grilled Omi beef from Shiga (1,690 yen / 1,859 yen incl. tax) and straw-grilled bonito sent directly from Tosa-Saga port (medium, about two portions, 1,490 yen / 1,639 yen incl. tax).
A 5% service charge applies (waived when you order a course), plus a 500 yen (before tax) otoshi seating charge. We accept cash, major credit cards and PayPay; e-money is not accepted. There is no dedicated car park, so please use a nearby coin parking. We open daily at 17:00 and close at 24:00 (food L.O. 23:00 / drinks L.O. 23:30); there is no lunch service.

Column
At our izakaya, located in Umeda-cho, a short walk from Moriyama Station in Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture, we strive to provide everyone with an unforgettable, special experience. For conversations with loved ones and banquets to share moments of joy, we wholeheartedly recommend a private booking in Moriyama.
As a Moriyama izakaya perfect for various occasions—from company banquets and gatherings with friends to important family anniversaries—we prepare exquisite dishes that showcase the blessings of our region, including fresh seafood from near Moriyama Station, Shiga's prized Omi beef, and carefully selected Moriyama sake.
However, when it comes to large gatherings, one common concern for many is food allergies. We are sincerely committed to accommodating allergies so that everyone can dine with peace of mind and enjoy their time with a smile.
When planning a gathering in Moriyama or a Moriyama banquet course, having attendees with allergies can be a major source of stress for the organizer. Worries like Will that ingredient be okay? or It's sad that I can't eat the same food as everyone else can cast a pall over an otherwise enjoyable event.
In particular, when our venue is used as a family-friendly izakaya in Moriyama, allergies in young children often require even more meticulous care than for adults. At typical izakayas, it can be difficult to accommodate individual allergies, or there may not be sufficient information sharing in advance, often leading to anxiety on the day of the event.
You choose a special space like a private booking in Moriyama because you want to cherish your private time and have fun without worrying about others. However, as long as allergy concerns remain, it's impossible to truly feel that booking privately was the right choice. We are determined to address this challenge with thorough measures for the sake of each and every customer's smile.
At our Moriyama izakaya, we implement the following concrete solutions to ensure that our guests can enjoy their meals to the fullest without worrying about allergies. We can provide even more detailed support, especially for those using our private booking service in Moriyama or our izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama.
Detailed Information Gathering at the Time of Reservation
When you make a reservation, if anyone in your party has allergies, we will ask for detailed information about the nature and severity of the allergy (from mild intolerance to severe allergic reactions). We carefully confirm and record the person's name, the type of allergy, and specific symptoms, much like a medical chart.
Information Sharing and Confirmation by Staff
The information we receive is reliably shared with the head chef and the service staff on duty. To prevent any omissions, we thoroughly confirm the details not only at the time of booking but also verbally the day before and on the day of your visit.
Ingredient Checks and Alternative Suggestions
If a course meal or à la carte dish contains a potential allergen, we will identify the ingredient and propose alternatives or different preparation methods. We carefully check every detail, including main ingredients like seafood from near Moriyama Station and Omi beef, to ensure you can dine with confidence.
Thorough Sanitation Before Cooking
Before preparing an allergy-friendly dish, we thoroughly clean and sanitize cooking utensils and preparation areas to prevent allergen contamination. We pay meticulous attention to all equipment used, including cutting boards, knives, and countertops.
Assignment of Knowledgeable Chefs
The preparation of allergy-friendly meals is handled by chefs with specialized knowledge and experience. They are well-versed in the characteristics of allergenic ingredients and strictly adhere to procedures to prevent cross-contamination with other dishes. For example, when preparing our Moriyama robatayaki, we take measures such as grilling allergenic seafood separately from other meats.
Meticulous Final Checks
Once a dish is prepared, multiple staff members re-check the contents to ensure there are no mistakes before it is served. We take extra care to prevent mix-ups when serving individual guests, especially during a Moriyama banquet course with many dishes.
Customizing Course Menus for Guests
For instance, if a guest has an allergy to a specific ingredient in a course meal for a gathering in Moriyama, we will remove that ingredient and reconstruct the menu with other seasonal ingredients or substitutes to provide an equally satisfying experience. We will propose a menu tailored to each guest's needs, one dish at a time.
Consideration for Sake Pairings
For guests who wish to enjoy pairings of our Moriyama sake and cuisine, we can also select allergy-conscious sakes or suggest non-alcoholic drinks. Please do not hesitate to consult with us about beverages as well as food.
Alternatives Featuring the Best of Shiga
We want our guests with allergies to also enjoy Shiga's delicious local specialties, such as Omi beef and seafood from near Moriyama Station. For example, for a guest with a shellfish allergy, we can offer the rich flavors of fresh local fish sashimi or a dish abundant with Shiga-grown vegetables.
Peace of Mind in a Private Space
By using our private booking service in Moriyama, a private zashiki room in Moriyama, or our izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama, you can reduce the risk of allergen contamination from other customers' dishes. It also creates an environment where you can comfortably communicate your allergy-related needs to our staff.
Near-Exclusive Service
For our private booking guests, our service staff will attend to you almost exclusively, allowing us to respond promptly and courteously to any allergy-related questions or sudden requests. We provide meticulous attention while observing each guest's needs.
Worry-Free for Families with Children
When using our venue as a family-friendly izakaya in Moriyama, a private room allows children to eat their allergy-friendly meals in a relaxed atmosphere without worrying about others. We pay special attention during service to ensure there are no mix-ups between allergy-friendly and regular meals.
To help you make the most of our services and enjoy a fun, worry-free private banquet in Moriyama, here are the specific steps we ask our customers to follow.
Please always inform us about any allergies when making your reservation.
When booking by phone or online, please mention first that someone in your party has allergies. The more details you can provide—such as the type of allergy (e.g., specific allergens), the exact ingredients, and the severity of symptoms—the better we can prepare.
Tell us specifically who has the allergy and what it entails.
Please inform us of the guest's name and the specific allergens, such as, Ms. Suzuki is allergic to eggs and dairy. Vague descriptions can be difficult to work with, so precise information like, Fish roe is fine, but crustaceans are not, is extremely helpful.
Please don't hesitate to consult with us about any questions or requests.
If you have any concerns about the menu or requests like, We'd like you to use this ingredient, please feel free to ask. If possible, multiple consultations before your visit can help us create the perfect banquet plan.
Please confirm the details with us verbally again on the day of your visit.
When we guide you to your table and before we begin serving your meal, our staff will reconfirm the allergy details with you. We appreciate your cooperation in reviewing the information at this time so you can begin your meal with complete peace of mind.
These steps are crucial for ensuring every guest can enjoy their time at our Moriyama izakaya with confidence. We appreciate your cooperation.
Here at our restaurant in Moriyama City, Shiga, we aim to make every private banquet in Moriyama a time that everyone can truly enjoy. Allergies can sometimes diminish the joy of a special occasion. However, through advance consultation and our sincere efforts, we can transform that anxiety into peace of mind.
Enjoy our fresh seafood from near Moriyama Station, Shiga's treasured Omi beef, and carefully selected Moriyama sake. Savor our many dishes, skillfully prepared using Moriyama robatayaki techniques to enhance their deliciousness, all within the calm atmosphere of our private zashiki rooms in Moriyama or our izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama. Whether it's a company gathering in Moriyama, a cherished family anniversary, or a meal with close friends at our family-friendly izakaya in Moriyama, we will do our utmost to support you so that everyone can gather around the table with a smile.

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。
