Savor Omi Chicken and Hakata Mizutaki in a Private Room! A Deeper Dive into the Charms of Torimaru Hikone

What the private rooms at Yakitori Torimaru Hikone offer is not just a private space. The true charm lies in the Omi chicken yakitori and Hakata-style mizutaki you savor within that space. Here, we introduce our commitment to quality and the special experience that comes from dining in a private room.

The Ultimate Omi Chicken, Grilled Over Binchotan Charcoal

Shiga Prefecture's pride, Omi chicken, is raised in a rich natural environment, resulting in finely textured meat with a condensed, savory flavor. At our restaurant, we use high-temperature Binchotan charcoal to carefully grill each skewer of this select Omi chicken.

• Crispy and aromatic on the outside, surprisingly juicy on the inside: The far-infrared effect of Binchotan charcoal locks in the chicken's flavor while removing excess fat, achieving the perfect level of doneness. With one bite, the rich flavor of Omi chicken, along with the aroma of charcoal, fills your mouth.
• A wide lineup from classic to creative skewers: We offer classic yakitori like thigh (momo), green onion and chicken (negima), and neck (seseri), as well as rare cuts available that day and elaborate creative skewers. Please take your time in a private room to enjoy the profound flavors of Shiga's Omi chicken yakitori.

Our Famous Hakata-Style Mizutaki to Warm Your Body and Soul

Another of our specialty dishes, popular not just in the cold season but all year round, is our Hakata-style mizutaki.

• A special broth with concentrated chicken flavor: Our chicken bone broth, simmered slowly over time, is exquisite on its own. Rich in collagen, it has a deeply nourishing taste that warms both body and soul.
• Savor fresh Omi chicken and vegetables: Various cuts of carefully selected Omi chicken and seasonal vegetables are simmered in our special broth. Gathering around a hot pot with your loved ones in a private room will surely be a heartwarming experience.

Enjoy Exquisite A La Carte Dishes and a Wide Variety of Drinks in Your Private Room

In addition to yakitori and mizutaki, we offer a wide variety of a la carte dishes and drinks to enhance your meal in a private room.

• Assorted Sashimi: Our seasonal sashimi platter, made with fresh seafood sourced daily, allows you to leisurely enjoy the changing tastes of the sea in a private room.
• Motsu Niratama (Offal and Chive Omelette): A dish of plump offal and crisp chives bound with fluffy egg (¥750), perfect for sharing with friends in a private room and pairs well with both rice and alcohol.
• Multiple payment methods accepted: We accept a wide range of payment methods, including cash, various credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments, ensuring a smooth checkout.

• I was able to visit with my pet while traveling!! The staff were cheerful, and it was a comfortable restaurant. The food was, of course, delicious!! I left something behind and caused some trouble, but I am very grateful for their response, which included a letter. I would love to visit again the next time I'm in Shiga.

• First visit. The mizutaki and grilled skewers are delicious, but for a drinker like me, I recommend the spicy mackerel potato salad. I feel like I could drink several glasses of shochu with just that. Personally, I think the motsu niratama is also a great choice. This time, I drank a ton in the private room in the back.
