Focused on Shiga Prefecture ingredients, served on Shigaraki-yaki pottery. Experience authentic Japanese cuisine and seafood in Kusatsu.
SPECIALTY
Primitive Grilling
Primitive grilling involves lighting binchotan charcoal in a hearth and slowly grilling skewered fish propped against it.
Rather than direct flame, the far-infrared rays of the charcoal slowly cook the fish, retaining its umami while achieving a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Enjoy the natural sweetness and aroma of fish that can only be achieved through this primitive cooking method.
Sake
Bond
100+ Sake varieties, plus exceptional wines.
From famous brews nationwide to rare local sake, we stock over 100 varieties. The owner will help select the perfect pairing for your meal.
We also offer an extensive selection of wines that complement Japanese cuisine. Enjoy the pairing of Japanese food and wine.
