Direct from the Port! Exceptionally Fresh Hikone Seafood

To ensure you can savor exceptionally fresh Hikone Seafood in Hikone, we procure carefully selected seafood directly from local fishing ports every morning.

The aroma and umami of the ocean that spread the moment you take a bite will surely enliven your reunion conversations. The charm of seasonal seafood lies in the variety changing with each season, offering new culinary discoveries with every visit.

Exquisite Dishes Filled with Local Bounty

As a Hikone Izakaya, in addition to seafood, we offer numerous dishes that utilize seasonal vegetables nurtured by Shiga's fertile land and brand ingredients like Omi Beef. Fresh vegetables sourced directly from local farmers boast exceptional natural sweetness and aroma. By preparing them simply, you can fully enjoy their original flavors.

Furthermore, we offer a rich selection of local Shiga sake that pairs well with our dishes, as well as carefully selected sake and wines from across Japan.
