The Charm of Torimaru Hikone: Brightening Up Your Nights in Hikone
Located on the 1st floor of the Hikone Station Building, Yakitori Torimaru Hikone boasts excellent accessibility, being directly connected to Hikone Station in Asahi-cho, Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture. Whether you are visiting Hikone for sightseeing or business, or you are a local resident, we want you to fully enjoy the appeal of Omi chicken. With this in mind, we welcome our customers every day with a lively atmosphere and heartfelt hospitality.
We serve authentic yakitori made with Omi chicken, a premium brand of chicken that Shiga Prefecture is proud of. Each skewer is carefully grilled over Binchotan charcoal, resulting in a dish that is crispy and fragrant on the outside, and surprisingly juicy on the inside. We offer a wide lineup, from classic cuts to creative seasonal skewers. Our other specialty, Hakata Mizutaki, is a chicken hot pot featuring a special broth concentrated with the savory umami of chicken. It is a popular dish not only in the chilly seasons but all year round.
Yakitori Torimaru Hikone is perfect for a variety of occasions, whether it's a girls' night out, a fun family dinner, a quick drink after work, or a conversation with a special someone. Our staff is dedicated to providing friendly and attentive service, ensuring that even first-time customers feel comfortable and 'easy to walk in.' We have received high praise from our customers, such as 'their attentiveness and consideration are wonderful' and 'the food is delicious.'
