Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜炭火焼き ペパーミント

Food was gorgeous, waygu, prawns, scallop were amazingly delicious The owner was so kind and hospitality, definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting the area.

I LOVED this place. My friends and I stumbled upon this place as a last ditch effort to get some dinner after seeing that the supermarkets were closed at 8pm. Should have figured that would happen on New Years weekend. But it was good it did because we found this place! Called the owner and he said he’d wait for us. When we arrived we weren’t sure if it was the right place, but the confusion got cleared up quickly when we saw the owner waiting for us at a huge table with a charcoal pit in the center. He welcomed us warmly and we saw that on the table there was a huge slab of wagyu on display. We went through the menu and the only course there was essentially the wagyu, vegetables, rice, and pickles. He even threw in the freshest, most beautiful giant prawns at a huge discount! The owner prepared the wagyu on the grill for us and he was extra generous with servings. He also had the best, caramely, syrupy, umeshu I’ve ever had. The vibe of the place was tantalizingly eclectic and we were all for it after spending the day hitting the slopes hard. I think it’s no exaggeration to say that the dinner we had in this place was unexpectedly the highlight of our trip and was an experience that we will never forget. ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome experience, food was great and the owner was so accommodating he even grilled the seafood for us. The price was very much reasonable ☺️
