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.

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。
