About this place
If you are unsure what to order at Eitaroya, start with the assorted sashimi. One diner recalled a generous platter of seasonal seafood, with each fish offering its own flavour and texture. The selection that day included Biwa trout and bonito. As the fish varies, it makes an appealing way to begin a meal.
Another diner enjoyed the flavours of the ingredients in a meal that included assorted sashimi, mountain vegetable tempura and rice cooked in a pot. The listed seasonal vegetable dishes include rapeseed blossoms with firefly squid, bracken dressed with sesame, and rapeseed blossoms and fried tofu quickly simmered together. You could build a meal around seafood and add a few small vegetable dishes along the way.
Other seafood options include seared live pike conger, pike conger simmered with egg, and clams steamed with sake and new onion. There is also Shinshu black wagyu steak and smoked duck leg, so the choices are not limited to seafood. One diner singled out the wagyu as particularly memorable.
Drinks include wine as well as sake and beer. Aruga Branca Clareza, a Koshu white wine, is presented as a match for Japanese dishes featuring dashi, soy sauce and wasabi, making it a possible partner for sashimi and seasonal cooking. Grüner Veltliner is recommended with seafood, while Pinot Blanc is suggested for tempura. Dinner reservations are recommended, so it is sensible to book once your plans are set.
