As a restaurant that handles premium Omi beef, we believe it is our mission to provide not only exceptional taste but also a sense of security. We are sincerely committed to our allergy-friendly practices to resolve these anxieties and ensure that everyone can gather around the table with a smile.

Our Hikone Izakaya's Concrete Steps for Allergy-Friendly Service

To ensure that all our guests can safely enjoy our Omi beef and other dishes, we have implemented a multi-faceted approach to allergy management. As a premier Hikone izakaya, we aim to provide a comfortable dining experience for both local residents and visitors from afar.

A Sincere Approach to Allergy Information

When a customer informs us of an allergy, we treat this information with the utmost importance. Upon reservation or arrival, we will ask for as much detail as possible, including the specific allergen and the severity of the reaction. This is a crucial step to prioritize our customers' safety.

• Thorough inquiries during reservation and arrival
• Confirmation of specific allergens and the severity of reactions
• Maintaining clear and careful communication with our guests

A Safe Kitchen System and Careful Preparation

Allergy information provided by our guests is shared with the entire kitchen staff. The assigned chef takes meticulous precautions, ensuring there is no cross-contamination by thoroughly separating cooking utensils, cutting boards, and frying oil. For example, in our Omi beef sukiyaki, we can replace ingredients in the seasoning that contain allergens, and for fried foods, we use a dedicated fryer.

• Sharing allergy information with the entire kitchen team
• Strict separation and cleaning of cooking utensils
• Utilizing alternative ingredients and dedicated cooking equipment

Flexible Course Adjustments and Suggestions

We can also accommodate allergies for guests ordering our Hikone banquet courses or dining at our Hikone business dinner izakaya. If you inform us of your allergies in advance, we will adjust the course content as much as possible and propose safe and delicious alternative menu items. We also strive to modify the preparation and seasoning of our signature Omi beef dishes so that more customers can enjoy them.

• Modifying course content based on your needs
• Proposing alternative menu items that are allergy-conscious
• Developing safe preparation methods for our Omi beef dishes

Regular Allergy Training for All Staff

We conduct regular allergy training for all employees, from our service staff to our kitchen team. By learning not only the basics of allergies but also practical skills such as how to handle customer inquiries, ensure thorough information sharing in the kitchen, and respond to emergencies, we have established a system that allows us to provide our services with confidence.

• Regular allergy training sessions for all staff members
• Training on the entire process, from initial inquiry to preparation and serving
• Implementation of emergency response simulations

Practical Steps to Safely Enjoy a Special Banquet in Hikone

To help you enjoy your important gatherings—be it a Hikone banquet course, a business dinner at a Hikone izakaya, or a Hikone reunion—without any allergy concerns, there are a few things we kindly ask for your cooperation with. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy our Omi beef and other dishes more smoothly and with greater peace of mind.

1. Provide specific allergy information when booking: Letting us know the type and severity of your allergies in advance allows us to prepare thoroughly. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the ingredients we use.
2. Confirm with staff upon arrival: As a precaution, please confirm with our staff upon arrival that the information you provided during booking has been correctly shared. This final check ensures a more reliable response.
3. Ask questions immediately if you have any doubts: If you feel even slightly uneasy about a dish, please speak to a staff member right away. No matter how small the concern, we will explain carefully, as it relates to your safety.
4. Please cooperate with flexible menu changes: Depending on the allergy, it may be difficult to completely remove an allergen. In such cases, we may propose an alternative menu or ask for your understanding and cooperation with some changes.
