To fulfill everyone's sincere wish to eat truly delicious seafood, Sakaba Stand Uomaru offers carefully selected treasures from the sea, delivered fresh from the market every morning. The freshness and quality, befitting the name Kusatsu seafood, are the core of our commitment to our cuisine. Our skilled chefs carefully prepare each item to maximize the natural goodness of the ingredients.

• The Taste of the Season, Woven by Fresh Fish Direct from the Market: We select the most delicious fish and shellfish of the day and deliver them to our customers. The seasonal flavors, which change with the seasons, will bring new discoveries and excitement with every visit. Our assorted sashimi platter features the best lineup of the day, ensuring you'll never tire of it no matter how many times you visit.
• The Discerning Eye of a Chef Who Knows Seafood Inside and Out: We assess the type and condition of the fish to apply the optimal cooking method for each. Sometimes, a simple grilled dish brings out the ingredient's natural umami, while other times, a creatively crafted dish offers a surprise. Enjoy a variety of masterpieces that showcase our chef's skill.

The Essence of Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito: A Harmony of Aroma and Umami

Among the many items on Sakaba Stand Uomaru's menu, we especially want you to try our Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito. While bonito tataki is known as a local dish of Kochi Prefecture, we bring out its charm to the fullest with our unique commitment and technique.

The surface is seared with straw fire for a fragrant aroma, while the inside remains moist and rare. This exquisite level of heat is the secret to locking in the bonito's umami. One bite, and the rich aroma of the straw will tickle your senses, followed by the surprisingly deep, natural flavor of the bonito that fills your mouth. Enjoying it with only salt accentuates the ingredient's inherent sweetness and umami, while eating it with condiments transforms it into an even more profound flavor.

Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito: The Uomaru Way to Enjoy It

1. First, simply with salt: Fully enjoy the pure umami of the bonito and the fragrant aroma of the straw. The special salt we've selected further enhances the bonito's flavor.
2. Enjoy the change in flavor with our special condiments: Eating it with the accompanying garlic, green onions, and myoga ginger creates a contrast in aroma and texture, allowing you to enjoy it with a fresh feeling every time.
3. Paired with your favorite drink: It goes perfectly not only with sake but also with shochu and beer. A rich sake will further draw out the umami of the bonito, while a refreshing beer will cleanse your palate.

Our Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito is an unforgettable signature dish. We highly recommend you give it a try.

Heartwarming Kusatsu Steamed Seafood and a Wide Variety of Seafood Dishes

At Sakaba Stand Uomaru, where we offer fresh seafood prepared in various ways, we also have a heartwarming Kusatsu Steamed Seafood in addition to raw sashimi and fragrant Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito. By slowly steaming it in a 'seiro' (bamboo steamer), the ingredients' natural umami is concentrated, resulting in a fluffy texture.

Our steamed dish is a luxurious item where you can taste the bounty of both the sea and the land at once, as we steam not only fresh seafood but also seasonal vegetables. It's highly recommended for health-conscious individuals as it removes excess fat while locking in the flavor. The rich aroma that rises with the steam the moment it's done will surely whet your appetite.

Savoring the Ocean's Bounty with Uomaru's Steamed Seafood

• A dish with concentrated seafood umami: We lavishly use seasonal white fish, shellfish, and shrimp, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural sweetness and aroma of each ingredient.
• Harmony of vegetable sweetness and texture: Fresh vegetables that change with the seasons combine with the umami of the seafood to create a deep, complex flavor. It's a colorful and visually pleasing dish.
• Even more delicious with our special sauce: While our steamed dish is delicious enough on its own, you can enjoy a different flavor profile by adding our special ponzu sauce or condiments to your liking.

Furthermore, to convey the full charm of Kusatsu seafood, we offer the bounty of the sea prepared in various ways, including grilled, stewed, and fried dishes. For the Today's Special, made with the freshest fish of the day, please check the board or feel free to ask our staff.
