Counter seats with a pale wood countertop and wooden stools along a deep green tiled wall at Uomaru Yasu Shrimp cream spring rolls Potato salad with salmon roe Table seats and counter seats laid out on a single floor inside Uomaru Yasu

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

01

Robata & Warayaki

Bonito from Kochi and Omi beef from Shiga, grilled over straw right before you. Seasonal fish and vegetables draw out their fullest flavor over charcoal.

02

Sake & Local Brews

A generous selection of sake chosen from across Japan, including local Shiga brews — from dry to sweet. Our staff suggest the one glass that suits your dish, so you can enjoy sake tasting in Yasu.

03

Seafood & Sashimi

Fresh fish shipped straight from the port, finished into sashimi by skilled hands. Enjoy the seafood of Yasu in seasonal plates such as our five-kind sashimi platter.

04

Omi Beef & Omi Chicken

Shiga's specialty Omi beef, straw-grilled or miso-marinated, and overnight-dried Omi chicken. Enjoy Shiga's premium ingredients dynamically over charcoal in Yasu.

05

Private Rooms & Banquets

Relaxing private rooms, banquet courses with free-flow drinks, and full-venue bookings on request. Steps from Yasu Station — ideal for company parties and gatherings.

How to enjoy Robata

Robata Story

01

A 45 seat room puts you near the fire

Thirteen counter seats, twelve table seats, eight in the private room and twelve on the terrace: 45 in all. In a room this size, the flames and the crackle of the straw reach every seat.

02

Nothing added, just the ingredient

The finished surface carries the smoke of burning straw. Leave the first slice unseasoned and taste the natural sweetness underneath.

03

In winter, cold yellowtail with salt and citrus

Later in the plate, shift with condiments, rock salt and citrus. Winter brings kanburi yellowtail, whose fat loosens and lightens against salt and citrus.

04

A cigarette and a cup, out to the terrace

Every seat, including the twelve on the terrace, allows smoking. Our staff suggest Shiga sake, dry through sweet, to match your sashimi or straw-grilled dish.

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.

Making Fresh Fish from the Port Even More Delicious! Home Preparation Tips

Once you receive your fresh fish direct from the port via takeout or delivery, we encourage you to add a few touches at home. A little creativity can further enhance the delightful experience you'd expect from dining in our restaurant.

Impress with Presentation

  • Re-plating onto a Large Dish: Dishes like sashimi and carpaccio can be made significantly more luxurious simply by re-plating them beautifully onto your own large serving dish. Utilizing empty space or adding colorful vegetables (such as shiso leaves or edible flowers) is also recommended.
  • Coordinating with Tableware: While everyday dishes are fine, serving on your favorite Japanese plates or glass dishes will further enhance the appeal of the meal.

Mind the Temperature and Aroma

  • Serve at the Right Temperature: Warm dishes will have their flavors and aromas enhanced by a light reheating just before eating. Cold dishes like sashimi, when taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to return to room temperature slightly, will allow you to better appreciate the fish's natural umami.
  • Enjoy Aromas with Condiments and Garnish: In addition to the provided condiments (wasabi, ginger, green onions, etc.), adding seasonal herbs or citrus (such as sudachi or lemon) from your home will deepen the aroma and make the dish even more delicious.

Enjoy Pairing with Drinks

Our fresh fish direct from the port dishes pair excellently with a variety of drinks.

  • Sake: Enjoy pairing with local Yasu sake or renowned sakes from across Japan, from light Junmai Ginjo to rich Junmai-shu, depending on the type of fish and cooking method.
  • White Wine: Crisp dry white wines are particularly well-suited for Western-style fish dishes and carpaccio.
  • Other: In addition to beer and shochu, non-alcoholic drinks can also perfectly complement the deliciousness of our dishes.
