The Bounty of Lake and Sea: Enjoying Fresh Fish and Seafood with Our Yasu Banquet Courses

Although Shiga is a landlocked prefecture, it is blessed with the rich waters of Lake Biwa. At our restaurant, we incorporate not only the bounty of Lake Biwa but also an abundance of choice seafood delivered directly from fishing ports across the country. The fresh catch of the season offers a special deliciousness that can only be enjoyed at that specific time. Our Yasu banquet courses provide seafood of the highest freshness and quality, prepared using the best cooking methods.

Please enjoy to your heart's content the fresh, high-quality seafood that lives up to the name Yasu Seafood. The seasonal flavors change throughout the year, promising new discoveries and delights with every visit.
