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

How to enjoy Robata

Robata Story

01

Head for the counter where the straw burns

One to two minutes from the east exit of Minami-Kusatsu Station, at Liberty Minami-Kusatsu 2F. From the counter seats facing the straw grill you can watch the bonito wrapped in flame.

02

Start with the medium, one slice at a time

Straw-grilled bonito starts at 1,490 yen for the medium, about two portions. Take the first slice unseasoned and taste the smoke held in the surface.

03

With the large, change as you go

Work through the condiments, rock salt and citrus. The large, about four portions at 2,480 yen, gives you enough to keep shifting the flavor to the last piece.

04

Smoke, drink, and lose track of time

All 45 seats allow smoking, and guests under 20 cannot enter. We suggest Shiga sake, dry through sweet, to sit alongside the straw-grilled plates.

Producers

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.

A Practical Checklist for a Flawless Private Room Reservation

To ensure you have no regrets about your private room experience, it's important to confirm a few points before booking. Please use the following checklist for a smooth reservation and a wonderful time.

  1. Have you confirmed the date, time, and number of guests?

    Private rooms fill up quickly, especially on weekends, holidays, and during peak seasons, so booking early is crucial. If the number of guests is uncertain, you can provide an approximate number and confirm later, so please consult with us first.

  2. Is the purpose of your visit clear (e.g., business, banquet, anniversary)?

    Informing us of your purpose helps our staff recommend the best room, course, and services. For example, for business entertainment in Minami-Kusatsu, we'll suggest a quieter room, while for a large banquet of 45 people, we'll recommend a space with a flexible layout.

  3. Do you have a preferred room type (horigotatsu, table, completely private, etc.)?

    Consider your companions when choosing a room, such as a table seat for someone with mobility issues or a horigotatsu for a more relaxed setting. Completely private rooms are very popular, so we recommend booking them early.

  4. Have you confirmed the smoking policy?

    If there are smokers in your party, please check in advance if a smoking-friendly private room is available, as we are a smoking-friendly izakaya in Minami-Kusatsu, and state your preference.

  5. Are there any allergies or dietary restrictions?

    To ensure all guests can dine with peace of mind, please inform us of any allergies or food restrictions when you book. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
