Exquisite Cuisine to Savor in a Private Room: Omi Duck and Our Specialties

In the special setting of a private room, please fully enjoy our signature dishes, starting with Omi duck. Here, we introduce some of the culinary gems we highly recommend to our guests.

Savoring the Essence of Omi Duck

Omi duck is characterized by its fine meat texture and a unique sweetness and umami. The fat, in particular, melts in your mouth, leaving a surprisingly clean aftertaste. To maximize the potential of this Omi duck, we offer it prepared in various ways. Our skewers, slowly grilled over Binchotan charcoal, are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, allowing you to fully appreciate the duck's natural flavor.

• Recommended Omi Duck Dishes:
  • Skewers of Omi Duck: Enjoy a variety of textures and flavors, from the classic thigh to rare cuts.
  • Seared Omi Duck Tataki: Lightly seared on the surface to bring out the meat's natural umami. Enjoy with ponzu and condiments.
  • Omi Duck Jibu-ni (Seasonal): A Kaga-style dish arranged with Omi duck. The thick sauce locks in the duck's umami.
  • Charcoal-Grilled Omi Duck: A simple dish seasoned with salt and pepper to let you savor the powerful, natural flavor of the duck.

Hakata Mizutaki: A Taste of History

Hakata Mizutaki is a hot pot dish featuring a rich, cloudy broth concentrated with chicken umami. Our Hakata Mizutaki boasts a deeply flavorful soup, made by slowly simmering carefully selected chicken bones. We invite you to first taste the soup on its own, then enjoy it with your favorite ingredients. You are sure to rediscover the charm of chicken, a different delight from our Omi duck dishes.

The soup, infused with the umami of fresh chicken and vegetables, will warm both body and soul. To finish, add rice to make zosui porridge or noodles to enjoy the deliciousness of Hakata Mizutaki to the very last drop. Sharing a hot pot in a private room is a wonderful way to deepen bonds with those close to you.

Chiran-dori Tataki: An Authentic Taste in Omihachiman

Chiran-dori, a chicken raised in Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture, is known for its firm texture and deep flavor. We serve fresh Chiran chicken thigh as tataki, seared on the surface to add a savory aroma. Its unique chewiness and the umami that spreads with every bite make it an irresistible dish. Enjoy it with our special ponzu sauce and fresh condiments like green onions, sliced onions, and ginger. Paired with our Omi duck dishes, you can experience the diverse flavors of poultry.

Heartwarming 'Juicy' Oyakodon and Momomi

Our 'shiru-daku' (extra saucy) Oyakodon is characterized by its soft, runny egg and a gentle flavor enhanced by dashi broth. One bite brings a comforting, somewhat nostalgic deliciousness that warms the heart. It's a popular choice to finish a meal, and you'll find yourself finishing the whole bowl even after enjoying Omi duck or Hakata Mizutaki. The combination of fluffy egg, chicken, and rice soaked in ample dashi is simply exquisite.

Additionally, our 'momomi,' carefully grilled over charcoal, is a superb dish that combines the natural flavor of chicken thigh with the savory aroma of Binchotan charcoal. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it's the perfect accompaniment to drinks. Please try this delicious chicken dish, which offers a different appeal from our Omi duck.
