Uochō

Along the shopping arcade in Kami-Itabashi, sushi restaurant Uochō offers compelling, meticulous kitchen dishes alongside its nigiri. The abalone sautéed in liver butter is one of the standout choices to consider on a visit. The selection of rolls includes thoughtful combinations like minced tuna rolled with Japanese shallots, putting seasonal seafood to good use. For diners wishing to sample a wider assortment, the kitchen can also shape the rice portions smaller upon request, accommodating different dining paces.

The interior provides a calm environment with tatami seating and Japanese-style rooms where guests can linger over platters of sashimi and sushi. Drinks include beer and other beverages; some guests have paired banquet meals with Kagetora sake, which suits the savory small plates well. Lunch menus are served during the day, while evenings cater to relaxed dinners and small gatherings, making advance reservations a practical choice.
