SCROLL

A five-minute walk from JR Ishiyama Station, and within walking distance of Keihan Ishiyama too — a yakitori shop you can reach from either line.

Six counter seats sit right in front of the grill, where Omi-chicken skewers go over the Bincho charcoal one at a time.

Hot pots run from Hakata mizutaki to Omi-duck sukinabe. 61 seats in all, with private hire for 20–50 guests.

Corridor leading to the tatami rooms at Yakitori Torimaru Ishiyama

Two Ishiyama stations, one counter

Five minutes on foot from JR Ishiyama Station, and walkable from Keihan Ishiyama as well — an easy place to meet whether you come from Otsu and Zeze or from Kusatsu. Here we grill Shiga's Omi chicken over Bincho charcoal. Six seats face the grill; with the terrace and the tatami private rooms for 4 and 6, we have 61 seats.

SIGNATURE

Three dishes that end at the pot

HAKATA MIZUTAKI

Hakata mizutaki, our reason for being

Bone-in thigh, tsukune and local vegetables, simmered until the broth turns milky white. A cup of the soup first — that is the rule at Torimaru. At Ishiyama the pots go a step further: chicken paitan, chicken sukinabe, and sukinabe with Omi duck.

OMI CHICKEN YAKITORI

Omi chicken, one skewer at a time

We break down Shiga's Omi chicken in-house and grill it one skewer at a time over Bincho charcoal. There are only six counter seats, and that closeness lets us hand over momomi, seseri and kawa one by one, each at its own moment.

CHICKEN SASHIMI

For the sashimi, Chiran chicken

A three-kind chicken tataki assortment — momo, mune and low-temperature liver. Compare the sweetness of the fat against the firmness of the meat. It makes a good opening plate before you move on to a sukinabe course.

OUR CRAFT

Three kinds of handwork at Ishiyama

I

Charcoal — Bincho, and nothing else

High-heat Bincho charcoal only. Far-infrared heat firms the surface and keeps the flavour in. With just six counter seats, the grill is close enough that nothing about the fire can be hidden.

II

Prep — cut in-house, every day

Omi chicken is broken down in-house, momomi, seseri and kawa each skewered in its own way. Chiran chicken for the sashimi, morning-fresh chicken for the pots. Prep starts with matching the bird to the dish.

III

The pot — where the courses arrive

Hakata mizutaki, chicken paitan, chicken sukinabe, and sukinabe with Omi duck, a Shiga speciality. Five of Ishiyama's eight courses are built around a pot, up to the 8,000 yen duck sukinabe course (7 items). We do not stop at skewers.

SPACESpace

Counter, tables and terrace seating

There are only six counter seats, close enough to watch the griller's hands. Beyond them are tables, tatami private rooms for 4 and 6 that join for up to 16 guests, and an outdoor terrace. With 61 seats we also take private hire for 20–50 guests. The interior is entirely non-smoking.

YAKITORI NEAR ISHIYAMA STATION

Where can you eat yakitori near Ishiyama Station?

About five minutes on foot from JR Ishiyama Station, and within walking distance of Keihan Ishiyama Station as well. We serve Omi chicken skewers grilled over Bincho charcoal across 61 seats, 6 of them at the counter, daily 17:00–24:00 (food L.O. 23:00 / drinks L.O. 23:30).

A private room for four in Otsu — is that possible? The private rooms are tatami, sized for 4 and for 6 guests, and can be combined for up to 16. The counter facing the grill has 6 seats, and there are tables and terrace seating besides.

Can you eat yakitori on a terrace in Ishiyama? Yes, we have terrace seating. The interior is entirely non-smoking and there is a smoking area outdoors.

Can you hire the place for 20–50 people in Ishiyama? We take private hire for 20 to 50 guests. Call 077-533-7711 with your numbers and date for farewell parties, year-end parties or after-event drinks. Courses are for 2–16 guests, from 5,000 yen including tax with 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink, up to the 8,000 yen Duck Sukinabe Course of 7 dishes — eight in all.

Can you stop by after Ishiyama-dera or the Seta no Karahashi bridge? After Ishiyama-dera, the Seta no Karahashi bridge or a walk along the Seta River, head back to JR or Keihan Ishiyama Station and we are about five minutes away. Two stations serve us, so it is easy to meet up whether you come from Otsu and Zeze or from Kusatsu and Minami-Kusatsu.

What is Omi chicken? A branded chicken from Shiga. We butcher it in-house and skewer it cut by cut — momomi thigh, seseri neck, kawa skin — then grill each cut differently over high-heat Bincho charcoal. Raw chicken depends on freshness: try the three-cut tataki plate of thigh, breast and slow-cooked liver. Our FAQ explains Omi chicken in more detail.

Eight course plans with 90 minutes of all-you-can-drink, for 2–16 guests, from 5,000 yen including tax up to the 8,000 yen Duck Sukinabe Course of 7 dishes. Private hire for 20–50 guests uses the same courses.

石山で飲む時に利用したけど、刺身がめっちゃ新鮮で美味しかったです。特に刺身の盛り合わせは種類も多くて、お酒にめっちゃ合いました。あと、日本酒の種類がかなり豊富で、いろんな銘柄を楽しめるのも良かったです。料理に合わせて飲み比べできる感じで、日本酒好きにはかなりおすすめやと思います。 店内も落ち着いた雰囲気で、友達とゆっくり飲めたし、店員さんの接客も丁寧でした。料理やドリンクが来るのも早くて全体的に満足できました。石山で海鮮系の居酒屋探してる人にはおすすめできるお店です。

漁港直送の鮮魚と近江鶏の焼き鳥を堪能 先日、社内の飲み会で、初めて利用しました。石山駅から徒歩1分の好立地。 漁港直送のお新鮮な海鮮とこだわりの近江鶏の焼き鳥が両方楽しめるとのことで、皆で期待しての訪問です。 店内は活気がありつつも、木を基調とした落ち着ける雰囲気で、居心地抜群でした。 お料理は、お店のコンセプトである「海がない滋賀県でも美味しい魚を食べて貰いたい!」という想いが伝わってくるラインナップでした。 名物であるカツオの藁焼きからスタート。注文が入ってからカウンター越しで、豪快に炎を上げて焼いてくれるパフォーマンスに、気持ちは最高潮。 香ばしい香りが食欲をそそり、一口食べると藁の風味が豊かで、新鮮なカツオの旨みが際立っていました。 そして、もう一つの名物である近江鶏の焼き鳥も絶品でした。備長炭で丁寧に焼かれた焼き鳥は、外は香ばしく、中は驚くほどジューシー。 定番の部位から希少部位まで、どれもこだわりを感じる美味しさで、皆で色々な種類を頼んでシェアしました。つくねが特におすすめ。 日本酒の種類が豊富で、料理に合わせて選べるのも嬉しいポイントでした。 新鮮な海の幸と、香ばしい焼き鳥を両方楽しめる「ウオマルと鶏丸」さん。駅からも近く、使い勝手も抜群です。会社メンバーとの飲み会や、友人との食事に、自信を持っておすすめできるお店です。 ごちそうさまでした!

先日は、大切な人との久しぶりのデートで、滋賀県にある「ウオマルと鷄丸 石山店」に行ってきました。 石山駅から徒歩圏内の好立地にありながら、おしゃれな雰囲気は、カジュアルな居酒屋利用にもデートにもぴったりです。 私たちは、テーブル席に案内していただき調理される様子を眺めつつ、ゆったりと会話を楽しめました。 店員さんが担当制でついてくださるのですが、料理の説明やおすすめを丁寧に教えてくれて、とても気持ちの良い接客でした! お箸の袋がおみくじになっていて、話のきっかけになるのも嬉しいポイント! 細かいところまでこだわりを感じる、特別感のある居酒屋です。 デートはもちろん、女子会や宴会、一人飲みで利用されている方がたくさんいらっしゃいました! いただいた料理はこちら ・カツオの藁焼き 絶対に食べてほしい逸品!塩でいただく藁焼きは、香りも味も最高で、口の中に入れると藁の香りがふわっと広がり、感動!!! ・焼き鳥 定番の焼き鳥は、どれも絶妙な焼き加減で美味しい!海鮮も焼き鳥も食べられるなんて幸せ… ・タレつけ焼きおにぎり 香ばしいタレとご飯の組み合わせが最高!お腹いっぱいでもペロリと食べられる美味しさです。 ・コロッケ 熱々でサクサク!美味しすぎて、おかわりしてしまいました。これも食べてほしい逸品! ・クラフトビール なんとお酒も共同開発されているようで!ここでしか飲めないクラフトビールをいただきました。さっぱりしていてフルーティーで飲みやすかった!美味しい! どの料理も飲み物も本当に美味しくて、接客も最高で、終始笑顔が絶えない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。 今回はアラカルトにしましたが、宴会向けのコースもあるようなので、今度は友人との女子会で利用したいと思います! 滋賀県石山で1番のおすすめです!
