Uozen

Step through the noren curtains of Uozen (魚善) in Senju-akebonocho, and the first task of lunchtime is scanning the menu board to decide on the day's meal. The lunch selection revolves entirely around seafood, featuring sashimi set meals as well as chirashizushi, tuna rice bowls, aromatic grilled fish, and simmered fish sets.

Among the most popular options is the sashimi set meal, which gathers an assortment of cuts such as tuna, seasonal white fish, and shellfish, with the option to swap the standard white rice for vinegared sushi rice. Rice bowls blanketed in tuna and colourful chirashizushi also cater to those craving a refreshing, generous helping of raw fish.

For those who prefer cooked fish paired with plain white rice, the menu includes grilled selections like salmon and simmered fish sets featuring varieties such as alfonsino (kinmedai). The simmered fish meal also appeals for its satisfying, well-rounded spread, arriving alongside a small portion of sashimi, handmade side dishes, and pickles for an everyday lunch that feels thoroughly complete.

Operating primarily for lunch from 11:00 to 14:00 between Tuesday and Friday, the restaurant provides a calm interior fitted with counter seats and raised tatami seating. With alcoholic drinks such as beer on offer, diners can also linger over an early afternoon drink paired with sashimi or chirashi.
