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

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.

Savor Omi Beef with Peace of Mind in a Private Room

Bringing Rich Flavor and Safety to Everyone with Omi Beef in Moriyama

Omi beef, the culinary pride of Shiga Prefecture. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and elegant umami are loved by many, whether as a treat for a special day or a small everyday luxury. At our restaurant, we wish for everyone in Moriyama to enjoy this exquisite

Omi beef

to their heart's content. However, just as important as the joy of a delicious meal is the question, Can I enjoy this meal with peace of mind? Those with food allergies, or those with family members who have them, may feel anxious about dining out. In this article, we will introduce the allergy-friendly measures we take to protect the smiles of everyone gathered around our

Omi beef

, and our specific commitment as an

izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama

to provide both security and satisfaction.

Are Allergies Really a Concern When Enjoying Omi Beef to the Fullest?

Have you ever hesitated to make a reservation, thinking, I'd love to have that delicious

Omi beef

, but I'm worried about allergies...? For many of our guests, dining out is an escape from the everyday and a special experience. Whether it's a birthday celebration, a family gathering, or a company

party course in Moriyama

, the presence of food allergies can be a source of anxiety during these important moments.

For example, common allergens like wheat, eggs, and dairy products are a concern, but so are unexpected allergens in certain ingredients and the risk of cross-contamination during the cooking process. These are invisible anxieties for our customers. Especially for families with children or for large group

private bookings in Moriyama

, ensuring that every participant can dine safely is a crucial factor when choosing a restaurant.

We take these customer concerns seriously and are actively working on allergy-friendly measures so that everyone can truly enjoy our

Omi beef

dishes and the conversation that accompanies them. It's not just about being delicious; it's about being safe. That is the ultimate value we strive to offer as a

Moriyama izakaya

.

Expert Knowledge and Preparation: The Foundation of Our Omi Beef Allergy Support

To ensure our customers can enjoy

Omi beef

with peace of mind, we start with a solid foundation of knowledge and thorough preparation.

Thorough Staff Education

At our restaurant, we ensure that all employees have a deep understanding of allergies so that our guests can fully enjoy their meals. For instance, we conduct detailed training not only on the 7 specified raw materials (egg, milk, wheat, buckwheat, peanut, shrimp, crab) but also on the 21 recommended items known to cause allergic symptoms (almond, abalone, squid, salmon roe, orange, cashew nut, kiwi fruit, beef, walnut, sesame, salmon, mackerel, soybean, chicken, banana, pork, matsutake mushroom, peach, yam, apple, gelatin).

  • Specific knowledge of which ingredients contain each allergen and what substitute ingredients are available.
  • How to recognize symptoms of an allergic reaction and the procedures for a swift and appropriate emergency response.
  • Providing accurate information in response to customer inquiries and strengthening teamwork among employees regarding allergy support.

Advance Information Gathering and Menu Development

Listening to our customers is the first step in providing a safe meal. We carefully ask about allergies during reservations and upon arrival, and use this information in menu creation and ingredient selection.

  • From the menu development stage, we consider allergy information when selecting ingredients and cooking methods.
  • We pay close attention to the seasonings and hidden ingredients used in specific

    Omi beef

    dishes, and consider using alternatives whenever possible.
  • For allergy-friendly menus, we establish separate recipes and cooking processes from our standard menu and ensure this information is thoroughly shared among staff.

A Kitchen Environment Dedicated to Safety: Preventing Cross-Contamination

One of the most critical challenges in allergy support is preventing unintentional allergen contamination, or cross-contamination. We take meticulous care in our kitchen environment to ensure customers can enjoy

Omi beef

safely.

Use of Dedicated Cooking Utensils and Zones

Ingredients containing allergens and those that do not are handled separately from the very beginning of the cooking process.

  • We clearly distinguish between utensils for allergen-free cooking and those for regular cooking, including knives, cutting boards, bowls, and frying pans. When allergy support is required, we use dedicated utensils and thoroughly wash and sanitize them after use.
  • We also zone our kitchen workspace, physically separating areas where allergens are handled from areas for allergen-free ingredients, reducing the risk of contamination from the air or from utensils.
  • When preparing

    Omi beef

    , we manage oils and seasonings individually based on the customer's allergy information, always striving to serve it in the best possible condition.

Strict Verification During the Cooking Process

In a kitchen where multiple dishes are prepared simultaneously, verification during the cooking process is essential.

  • Even when cooking for large groups, we create dedicated instruction sheets for each dish detailing allergy information, which the chef constantly checks while working.
  • For items like sauces and dressings that mix multiple ingredients and seasonings, we meticulously check the raw material labels and double- and triple-check for the presence of allergens. As a

    Moriyama izakaya

    that uses many homemade seasonings, we make no compromises in this verification process.
  • We also consider preparing allergy-friendly dishes at a different time or in a separate location from other dishes, striving to eliminate risks as much as possible.

Meticulous Communication with Our Guests: For a Worry-Free Omi Beef Experience

No matter how much we prepare, peace of mind cannot be achieved without clear communication with our guests. We value this dialogue above all else.

Detailed Inquiries at the Time of Reservation

For customers with allergies, we ask for detailed information when you make a reservation.

  1. The type of allergy (what you are allergic to), the severity (how serious the symptoms are), and the intake amount (whether even trace amounts can cause a reaction).
  2. Besides allergies, whether there are any ingredients you dislike or wish to avoid for religious or health reasons.
  3. How many people in the group have allergies and whether individual support is required.

Based on this information, we will propose the most suitable

Omi beef

menu or

Moriyama party course

for each guest.

Reconfirmation and Final Check Upon Arrival

We will reconfirm your allergy information upon your arrival. This is to ensure there are no mistakes in the information you provided and to perform a final check that the kitchen has been properly coordinated.

  • After seating you, our staff will verbally repeat your allergy information and explain the dishes we will be serving.
  • Allergy-friendly dishes are served with a special mark to distinguish them from other guests' dishes and prevent them from being served to the wrong person.
  • As an

    izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama

    , you can have this confirmation process with our staff in a private space without worrying about being overheard by other customers.

  • When booking a

    Moriyama party course

    , if there is a guest with allergies, we can provide a different dish just for them or adjust the entire menu to be allergen-free.
  • For

    private bookings in Moriyama

    , we can arrange a detailed meeting in advance to create a special menu that reflects your requests as much as possible. We can customize not only for allergies but also for food preferences and budget.
  • We will carefully explain our specific support measures to the event organizer to alleviate any concerns and ensure they can look forward to the day with peace of mind.

  • We can also consult on allergy-friendly meals for children and will adjust the menu as much as possible. We are dedicated to providing safe and delicious meals for the healthy growth of your children.

  • We would be honored if you choose our restaurant as the place to create precious memories of your whole family gathered around

    Omi beef

    .

The Process from Reservation to Your Visit for a Safe Omi Beef Experience

Here are the simple steps for requesting allergy support without any stress.

  1. Share Detailed Information at Reservation

    Please let us know the type and severity of allergies, as well as any other requests, in detail over the phone or in the comments section of your online reservation. It would be helpful if you could specify not only the 7 specified raw materials but also any of the 21 recommended items you wish to avoid.

  2. Confirmation and Menu Proposal

    Based on the information you provide, we will contact you to confirm the details. We will then propose available

    Omi beef

    dishes,

    Moriyama party course

    options, or a special menu that we can prepare for you.

  3. Final Confirmation Upon Arrival

    After you arrive and are seated, our staff will verbally confirm your allergy information one last time. If you have any questions or concerns at this point, please do not hesitate to ask. This ensures we have a final, clear understanding.

  4. Enjoy Your Meal with Peace of Mind

    Once everything is confirmed, we will send the final instructions to the kitchen and serve you safe and delicious

    Omi beef

    dishes prepared with care. Please relax and enjoy your time in the calm atmosphere of our

    izakaya with completely private rooms in Moriyama

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。

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
