  • Shamotei Hieizan

    Shiga Pref. Otsushi Yamanakachou 107-4
    Hieizan Shamotei is a famous restaurant specializing in Shamo chicken that has often been featured in media such as gourmet magazines. The owners are extremely fussy about the quality of the meat, all of which comes from chickens that they have raised themselves by hand. The resulting meat has a rich savory flavor, a delicious taste that one can enjoy nowhere else. One reason for the restaurant's popularity is that diner's can choose how to have their chicken prepared, whether in a stew or even raw. Popular options include grilled chicken and Shamo chicken sukiyaki, which are loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults.

    Shiga Pref. Otsushi Ishiyamadera 3-2-37
    Kosho Shijimi Kamameshi is a country-style restaurant located near the main gate of Ishiyamadera Temple. The signature dish is Clam Kamameshi (similar to risotto), and when diners lift the lid of the pot, the aroma is irresistible. The restaurant uses local Omi rice from Shiga Prefecture, a rich broth, a bit of soy sauce, and shijimi clams from Lake Biwa and cooks them together. Diners can choose from four dinners, and all of them include freshly made Clam Kamameshi and red miso soup with clams, although they all include different side dishes. A large helping of Omi no Obanzai (assorted seafood and vegetables) accompanied by a moderate helping of grebe is especially popular.

    志じみ茶屋 湖舟。 元祖 志じみ釜飯御膳 鰻2切れ付き ¥2,200 を,注文しました。 おおよその客が注文する人気メニューらしく,ほかに鰻のメニューが人気のようです。 上手に炊けていましたが,ややご飯の味が弱いようでした。 しじみの身が小さい季節だったので,大きくなる初夏には,ほどよい味になるのでしょうか? 鰻は,美味しい。 たくさんの客で,いっぱいでした。 出来上がるむまで,20...

    Shiga Otsu-shi Kokubu 1-217-10
    This traditional kaiseki course cuisine restaurant is situated along Prefectural Route 782 next to the Butsushinji Temple. Dedicated to the concept of local production for local consumption, the restaurant makes use of choice ingredients sourced from within the prefecture. One of the restaurant's most distinctive characteristics is its emphasis not just on the cuisine but also on ensuring that the atmosphere of the entire establishment is uniform and harmonious, right down to the tableware and ikebana flower arrangements. Customers can choose between a lunch course and a fusion kaiseki course based on their budget - the latter course is available to parties of two or more people and must be reserved in advance. The restaurant's daggertooth pike conger shabushabu hotpot is only available in summer, while the wild Japanese amberjack shabushabu hotpot is only available in winter. The restaurant also sells its own homemade vinegar and soy sauce. Lastly, the restaurant has a private dining area which can accommodate up to 14 people.

    ランチ利用で、お昼の御膳3,500円をオーダー。 古民家を改装し、打ち水に季節の花、と雰囲気は良い。 土間だったと思われる部分にカウンター、庭を眺められる部分を個室(テーブル)として設えてある。 美味しくいただけたのだが、特に印象に残るということもなく・・・。 女性には結構ボリュームの有る量で、ごはんは土鍋のまま供されるが少し残してしまった。チップが少し有る器が出てきたのがちょっと残念。 コース料...

    盆あたりに恋人と行きました。 小学生の時から家族で夏、秋に利用させていただいており琵琶湖に遊びに行く時の定番のお店になりました。 今回は恋人と行きましたが客層は家族連れが多くお盆でしたがお店が広いため特に混雑さを感じることもありませんでした。店内は6畳くらいを1つにとっているため4人家族で1テーブルでも余裕を持って座れると思います。 料理を待っている間は養殖場?で鯉釣りや鮎の手づかみを楽しめすぐ前...

    落ち着いた雰囲気でした。二階の部屋でテーブルと椅子でした。瀬田川を眺められました。懐石料理でした。刺身や天ぷらは平均的です。鮎の塩焼きは美味しかったです。幾らのコースだったのか、値段は聞いてません。

    週末は大渋滞に見舞われる国道161号沿いにある回転寿司屋さんです。 近くに、スシローや他の飲食店がたくさんありますが、かなり空いている穴場のお店です。 週末の食事時にも関わらず、駐車場場ガラガラでお客さんが全然入っていない様子であり、品質の悪い回転寿司屋さんと先入観を持って入店しました。 しかし、品質差の激しい「かっぱ寿司」の中で、まずまずのお寿司をいただけるお店です。 ネタは新鮮とはとても言...

    感じが飲み放題付3500円の「豊丸コース」を予約し、しっかり飲んで食べて2時間大騒ぎをしました。食べ物はサラダ、刺身3点、焼物の盛り合わせ、蛤の蒸しもの、鶏、寿司などが出てきました。料理は量も丁度良いくらいで、味も良いです。価格的には安さを感じました。

Shiga Areas

around-area-map

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
