Welcome to our restaurant. For those wishing to fully savor sake and enjoy a rich dining experience in Kusatsu, we offer special insights. Our aim is for you not just to drink sake, but to experience unforgettable moments, feeling the harmony with the local culture and cuisine. With this in mind, we introduce various ways to enjoy our establishment, focusing on Kusatsu Sake this time.

Into the Profound World of Kusatsu Sake: A Journey to Find Your Perfect Glass

While Kusatsu Sake might sound like a single term, its varieties are truly diverse. From refreshing dry types to rich ones showcasing the umami of rice, and fruity, easy-to-drink options, sake has many facets. At our restaurant, we constantly offer dozens of carefully selected sakes from across Japan, focusing on local sakes from Shiga Prefecture. We strive daily to cater to each individual's preferences, ensuring you find your ultimate glass.

• Encounters with Seasonal Limited-Edition Sake: Seasonal sakes, available only during specific times, are truly special. You can enjoy the changing flavors each season: new sake in spring, refreshing unpasteurized sake in summer, Hiyaoroshi (aged sake) in autumn, and rich, warm sake in winter.
• Recommendation for a Sake Tasting Set: If you're unsure which to choose, we recommend our sake tasting set, allowing you to sample several types in small quantities. Discover your preferences by experiencing the differences in aroma and taste.
• Speak to Our Staff: Our knowledgeable sake staff will suggest the perfect bottle tailored to your preferences. Feel free to ask us about your preferred taste profiles or what dishes you'd like to pair your sake with.

Blissful Marriage with Kusatsu Seafood: Enjoying Seasonal Blessings with Sake

Fresh seafood is, of course, an excellent match for sake. At our restaurant, we offer numerous dishes that generously use exceptionally fresh Kusatsu Seafood, procured directly from the market every morning. The delicate umami and rich flavors of seafood further enhance the diverse characteristics of sake, creating a blissful marriage that maximizes the best qualities of both.

Proud Masterpieces Pursuing Freshness

• Assorted Sashimi Platter: Our luxurious sashimi platter, featuring the freshest seasonal seafood of the day, is visually stunning and whets the appetite. The crisp dryness of sake further enhances the sweetness of the fish.
• Aromatic Robatayaki (Charcoal-Grilled Seafood): Seafood slowly grilled over charcoal boasts exceptional aroma. Paired with hot or warm sake, you can enjoy a rich flavor that warms both body and soul.

Savor Authentic Flavors with Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito Tataki

We particularly recommend our signature Kusatsu Salt-Seared Bonito Tataki. Carefully straw-seared, the bonito's surface is aromatic, while the inside remains moist, allowing concentrated umami to spread throughout your mouth. By enjoying it simply with salt and condiments, you can fully savor the bonito's natural flavor. This robust flavor pairs exceptionally well with Junmai Ginjo or Junmai sake, which offers a distinct rice umami. The sake will cleanse the palate of the bonito's richness, making each subsequent bite even more delicious.

A Luxurious Daytime Indulgence at Kusatsu Station: Adding Color to Your Everyday

Hearing Kusatsu Station Daytime Drinking might sound a bit special. However, at our restaurant, you can casually enjoy delicious sake and cuisine from midday. Whether it's an afternoon chat with friends on a holiday or a treat for yourself, the time spent enjoying a glass during the day adds a rich splash of color to your daily life.

• The Liberation of Daytime Hours: Enjoying sake in our sunlit restaurant offers a different sense of freedom compared to the evening. The real pleasure of daytime drinking is being able to relax without worrying about work.
• Daytime-Exclusive Special Menu: For our daytime drinking guests, we offer a variety of menus, from light snacks to substantial set meals. We also recommend enjoying a glass of sake as an aperitif with your lunch.
• Perfect for a Sightseeing Break: You can also casually drop by for a break while sightseeing in Kusatsu. Please enjoy our Kusatsu Sake even during a short pause.

We promise to offer the same high quality of cuisine and sake during the day as we do at night. Please enjoy a luxurious time in a calm atmosphere, different from the evening bustle.

Heartwarming Kusatsu Steamed Dishes: Delicacies with Concentrated Ingredient Flavors

Our Kusatsu Steamed Dishes are popular year-round, not just during the cold season. By carefully steaming selected seasonal vegetables, seafood, and meat in a steamer, the ingredients' original flavors are concentrated, resulting in a tender and plump finish. Since no oil is used, it's a healthy yet satisfying delicacy.

The Charm of Steamed Dishes and Sake Pairings

• Gentle, Natural Flavors of Ingredients: Steaming brings out the maximum sweetness and aroma of the ingredients. We value natural flavors without relying on artificial seasonings.
• Healthy for Your Body: This cooking method removes excess fat and preserves nutrients. It's a reassuring choice for those who are health-conscious.
• Sake Pairings: The gentle flavors of steamed dishes pair well with crisp, dry sake or Junmai sake with a subtle rice umami. They refresh the palate without overpowering the ingredients' taste.

At our restaurant, we offer steamed dishes using different seasonal ingredients. For example, in winter, we feature crab and oysters, and in spring, seasonal wild vegetables – always selecting the most delicious ingredients of the season. Why not gather around warm Kusatsu Steamed Dishes and enjoy a heartwarming moment?
