Let us now introduce the solutions we offer for creating the perfect business dinner or anniversary in the Minami-Kusatsu area.

Our Five Commitments to Crafting a Special Night in Minami-Kusatsu

Why has our restaurant been a consistent choice for business dinners and anniversaries in Minami-Kusatsu? It's because of our unwavering commitment to making our guests' important moments truly special. Allow us to explain our appeal from five different perspectives.

1. The Ultimate Chicken Cuisine, Crafted from Shiga's Pride: Omi Chicken

The foundation of our cuisine is Omi chicken, a brand of poultry that is the pride of Shiga. Raised in a lush natural environment, Omi chicken is characterized by its fine texture and deep, rich flavor that unfolds with every bite. We offer it prepared in various ways to maximize its appeal.

  • Exquisite Yakitori Grilled to Perfection over Binchotan Charcoal

    Experience the essence of Minami-Kusatsu yakitori with skewers grilled one by one with care by our skilled chefs over Binchotan charcoal. The far-infrared rays from the charcoal create a perfectly crispy and fragrant exterior while locking in the juices. Our popular momo (thigh meat) skewer is a must-try, allowing you to savor its rich flavor and firm texture. Each skewer is slowly grilled for about five minutes to ensure it is served in its absolute best condition.

  • Tori no Tataki Showcasing Freshness and Skill

    Our Tori no Tataki (seared chicken) is a delicacy we can offer only because we use the freshest Omi chicken. The surface is lightly seared to a fragrant finish, while the inside remains tender with a melt-in-your-mouth raw texture. Served with our special ponzu sauce and condiments, it allows the natural sweetness and delicate flavor of the Omi chicken to fill your palate. To ensure optimal freshness, we aim to serve this dish within eight minutes of ordering.

  • Hakata Mizutaki Shiro that Warms the Body and Soul

    As another highlight of our Minami-Kusatsu chicken cuisine, we proudly offer Hakata Mizutaki Shiro, an authentic recreation of the famous Fukuoka hot pot. The cloudy white broth, simmered from chicken bones for approximately eight hours, is rich in collagen and flavor, yet has a surprisingly clean finish. Enjoy fresh chicken and vegetables simmered in this exquisite soup infused with the essence of Omi chicken. It is a blissful experience that will warm you from the inside out, especially during the colder months.

As a leading yakitori destination in the Noji area, we remain committed to serving the finest chicken cuisine through our dedication to quality ingredients and culinary craftsmanship.

2. A Premium Private Dining Experience in Minami-Kusatsu

For important occasions like business dinners and anniversaries, a private space where you can converse without disturbance is essential. We offer a variety of private rooms in Minami-Kusatsu to suit any occasion.

  • Versatile Private Rooms for Any Purpose

    We have a wide range of private rooms to accommodate everything from intimate gatherings to large parties. For example, our couple's seats for two offer a romantic atmosphere perfect for an anniversary date.

We also have a large private room that can accommodate up to 20 guests, ideal for company banquets.

  • Elegant and Serene Japanese Design

    Each private room is designed with warm lighting and a calm, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. The interior, featuring shoji screens and the warmth of natural wood, provides a tranquil environment that allows you to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and engage in deeper conversation. Ample space between tables ensures your privacy is fully respected.
