Lake Biwa BASS Burger



Biwako BASS Burger is located in Pavalier Biwako Otsu, a downhill SA on the Meishin Expressway.
To my surprise, this burger is made with black bass from Lake Biwa. It is actually a delicious white fish burger, and word of mouth is saying that the Lake Biwa BASS Burger is very tasty despite being made from black bass. The Lake Biwa BASS Burger is sold at a large service area on the expressway, which also houses a McDonald's, but the strange phenomenon has occurred: everyone is after the Lake Biwa BASS Burger.

Sold out in droves!



The number of items is limited, so sales will end when the day's supply is sold out.
While the black bass may be delicious, the bread also seems to be tasty, successfully dispelling the image of black bass = bad food.
It is said to be sold out one after another due to its rarity. Please try it.

Toritomo



Torikita's oyakodon, a specialty of Shiga, is a bowl of rice topped with oyako and a raw egg, which can be eaten as easily as a gorgeous bowl of rice with an egg on top.
You could eat as many bowls of the tender oyakodon as you like, but the key is to make sure that it fills your stomach. Of course, the taste is delicious, and the restaurant is famous for its repeat customers.

Kashiwa hot pot is also available at night!



It is a popular restaurant where there is always a line out the door at lunchtime. In addition to oyakodon, the restaurant also serves meat hot pot, kashiwa nabe, tonkatsu, and other dishes. All of the dishes have a good broth, and are popular because they are tasty and reasonably priced and fill you up.

Biwako Restaurant



You can enjoy a delicious miso nabe at Biwako Shokudo, which is well known for its famous chicken and vegetable miso nabe. The vegetables, which are heaped up in a large portion, soften as they are stewed and soak up the delicious broth, making it a portion that even a woman can easily eat. After eating this exquisite nabe, you can finish it off with ramen, udon, or rice. Miso-nabe is famous, but yakiniku and horumon-nabe are also available.

Too good to be true, miso alone is also sold!



Miso nabe is also a great way to recreate toriyasai miso nabe at home because the miso is so excellent and the long-awaited miso alone is also available for sale. This restaurant is popular all year round because you can enjoy the nabe that you miss in winter at any time of the year. If you find yourself lacking in vegetables while sightseeing in Shiga, I recommend Biwako Shokudo.
