The questions we are asked most at the counter are about the beef and the fire. Which part of the Omi beef is this, and why does it change through the year? Why does a pizza oven make a different pizza from a gas deck? Which wine on the blackboard goes with the grill, and which with the margherita? None of these need a long answer at the table, but they are worth writing down properly — so we do, here.

Reading about it is one thing; eating it is another. Three minutes on foot from Hikone Station.
