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

03

04

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.

Enjoy a Moriyama Get-Together at Home! Tips for Using Takeout & Delivery

Hello to everyone planning a fun get-together in Moriyama. While spending a lively time at a restaurant is great, don't you sometimes wish you could relax at home or spend quality time with your loved ones in a more intimate setting?

To grant those wishes and provide an even richer dining experience, our restaurant offers a service that allows you to enjoy our specialty dishes through takeout and delivery. Why not transform your usual dining table into the stage for an authentic Moriyama get-together? Please experience the joy of savoring the restaurant's flavors right at home, without the hassle of preparation.

The Charm of Takeout & Delivery: A New Way to Enjoy a Moriyama Get-Together

When planning a get-together in Moriyama, the vibrant atmosphere of a restaurant is wonderful, but there's a growing desire to relax completely at home or spend time with special friends without any worries. This is where our takeout and delivery services can be of great help.

By delivering the carefully prepared dishes we serve in our restaurant directly to your home, your everyday dining table transforms into a special space for a Moriyama get-together. The convenience of enjoying authentic cuisine while saving time on preparation and travel is a true ally for those leading busy lives.

  • Easily enjoy authentic restaurant flavors at home.
  • Significantly reduce preparation and cleanup time.
  • Relax and spend quality time with family and close friends without worrying about your surroundings.

The Restaurant's Quality, Unchanged! Savor Moriyama Robatayaki at Home

One of our signature dishes, Moriyama Robatayaki, features fresh seafood and seasonal local vegetables expertly grilled over a charcoal fire by our skilled chefs. The fragrant aroma born from slow grilling over charcoal and the flavor that maximizes the natural taste of the ingredients are often thought to be an experience exclusive to our restaurant. However, its deliciousness is by no means lost with takeout.

By enjoying our robatayaki at home, you can experience a sense of realism as if you were right here in the restaurant. With a little creativity, you can create an even more delicious and enjoyable dining experience. For example, just by being mindful of how you reheat and plate the food, your at-home Moriyama get-together will become remarkably special.

Tips for Recreating the Charcoal-Grilled Aroma at Home

  • Reheat with care: We recommend reheating robatayaki slowly on low heat in an oven toaster or fish grill. Warming it until the surface is slightly crisp will revive the charcoal-grilled fragrance. If using a microwave, be careful not to overheat; warm it for short intervals while checking on it.
  • Plate beautifully: Arranging the food spaciously on a large plate you have at home makes it visually appealing and whets the appetite. Adding colorful seasonal vegetables or herbs enhances the presentation, creating a sophisticated, restaurant-like atmosphere.
  • Add condiments and citrus: Serving with condiments like grated daikon radish, ginger, or fresh citrus like lemon or sudachi, just as we do at the restaurant, adds a flavorful accent that further enhances the taste of the robatayaki.

Please enjoy our meticulously grilled robatayaki to your heart's content in the comfort of your own home.

A Luxurious Touch for Your Table: Elevate Your Moriyama Get-Together with Omi Beef

Omi beef, Shiga's prized brand of cattle, is characterized by its fine texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality. At our restaurant, we offer this Omi beef prepared in various ways, and its rich flavor and deep taste will further enhance your special day. These Omi beef dishes are also the perfect special items to elevate your at-home Moriyama get-together.

For example, you can easily enjoy professional flavors that are hard to replicate at home, such as our signature Omi beef steak bento box or our Omi beef sukiyaki set finished with a special warishita sauce. It's perfect for anniversaries, celebrations, or for a dinner when you want to indulge a little.

Preparing Omi Beef for the Best Flavor

  1. Proper storage and temperature control: Once the product arrives, store it properly in the refrigerator immediately. For the best taste, take it out of the refrigerator a little before you plan to eat and let it come to room temperature. This will bring out the maximum umami of the meat.
  2. Cooking the steak: When cooking an Omi beef steak at home, it's important to heat the pan thoroughly and sear the surface on high heat to lock in the juices. Afterward, reduce the heat to low and cook it slowly to achieve an ideal finish that is juicy on the inside and fragrant on the outside.
  3. Using the sukiyaki set: Our Omi beef sukiyaki set comes with our secret, specially-made warishita sauce. Add your favorite ingredients like vegetables and tofu prepared at home and enjoy a luxurious sukiyaki party. The flavor of the warishita and the umami of the Omi beef will unite to create a deep, rich taste.

The time spent with family and loved ones around exquisite Omi beef will surely become an unforgettable memory. We invite you to experience a special Moriyama get-together with our Omi beef dishes.

Bring the Comfort of a Moriyama Private Room Home: Tips for Using Party Courses

The greatest appeal of our Moriyama zashiki private rooms and Moriyama completely private izakaya is the ability to enjoy a meal in your own private space without worrying about your surroundings. Recreating this high-quality experience at home through our takeout and delivery service can also be a special treat.

Our Moriyama party courses, which feature a well-balanced assortment of various dishes, are particularly perfect for home parties and special Moriyama get-togethers. By ordering an entire course for delivery and re-plating it on your own dishes at home, you can create a gorgeous and heartwarming banquet just like one at our restaurant.

Ideas to Enhance the Party Atmosphere at Home

  • Create ambiance with your decor: Try decorating a corner of your living or dining room to resemble a cozy izakaya. Simply dimming the lights and playing your favorite background music can significantly enhance the atmosphere. Using an aroma diffuser to set a scent is also a nice touch.
  • Pay attention to tableware and plating: Use large plates, stylish small bowls, and glasses from your collection to plate the dishes beautifully. Instead of serving the food directly from our containers, taking a little extra effort will dramatically increase visual satisfaction. It's also convenient to have plenty of small plates and cutlery ready.
  • Don't forget the drinks: Preparing sake, shochu, or wine that pairs well with our dishes will make your Moriyama get-together even more exciting. Be sure to also prepare delicious non-alcoholic drinks or specialty juices for those who don't drink alcohol.

We invite you to create a relaxing and luxurious time at home, just like you would spend in a Moriyama completely private izakaya. Our dishes will be there to help color that special moment.

Practical Steps to Maximize Your Moriyama Get-Together with Takeout & Delivery

Here are the specific steps to make the most of your at-home Moriyama get-together using our takeout and delivery services. We'll explain in detail so that even first-time users can order with confidence.

Step 1: Selecting and Ordering Your Menu

First, please check our latest takeout and delivery menu on our website or at the restaurant. You can freely combine various items, including our signature robatayaki, Omi beef dishes, and à la carte options, to suit the number of people, your preferences, and your budget. If you're overwhelmed by the choices, please feel free to ask for recommendations.

  1. Check our official website: The latest takeout and delivery menu is always updated on our official website. You can carefully review detailed descriptions and ample photos of the dishes.
  2. Consult and order by phone: If you're unsure which menu to choose, or if you have requests concerning allergies or specific ingredients, please don't hesitate to call us. Our experienced staff will suggest the perfect menu to meet your needs. You can also place your order over the phone.
  3. Use online ordering: You can also order directly online from our website. Simply select your desired date and time, and choose between in-store pickup or home delivery to complete your order smoothly.

Step 2: Pickup/Delivery and Storage

You can pick up your ordered items at the designated time at the store or use our delivery service, according to your convenience. We take the utmost care to maintain the freshness and deliciousness of our food.

  1. For in-store pickup: Please come to our store at your designated time. We will have your order ready, ensuring hot dishes stay warm and cold dishes are kept at the proper temperature to preserve their taste.
  2. For delivery: Our staff or a trusted partner delivery service will deliver your order promptly and carefully to your specified location. Please check the delivery areas and times when you place your order. We promise to deliver your food safely.
  3. Food storage: If you do not plan to eat immediately after the food arrives, please be sure to store it properly in the refrigerator. We recommend consuming items where freshness is key, such as raw or delicate dishes, as soon as possible.

Step 3: Preparation and Plating at Home

This is the final touch to make our professional flavors even more delicious and enjoyable. A little effort at home can create a special Moriyama get-together that surpasses the restaurant experience.

  • Reheat to recreate the fresh taste: For grilled items, fried foods, and other hot dishes, lightly reheating them in an oven toaster or frying pan just before eating will bring back their freshly-made flavor and texture. When using a microwave, be careful not to overheat; it's best to cover with plastic wrap and warm for short intervals to prevent the food from drying out.
  • Add color for a vibrant table: While our dishes are beautiful on their own, adding fresh vegetables or herbs you have at home, like lettuce, cherry tomatoes, or parsley, will make the food stand out and create a more vibrant tablescape. Colorful plating not only stimulates the appetite but is also a feast for the eyes.
  • Prepare your favorite drinks: Get your favorite alcoholic or soft drinks ready to pair with our delicious food. Simply using stylish glasses can lift your spirits and further enhance your special Moriyama get-together. It's also a good idea to have a variety of non-alcoholic options for children or guests who don't drink.

Conclusion: Achieving a Rich Moriyama Get-Together Experience at Home

A Moriyama get-together isn't just for enjoying in the lively atmosphere of a restaurant. By wisely using our takeout and delivery services, you can enjoy an authentic restaurant taste and a heartwarming time in the comfort of your own home.

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。

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
