About this place
When an assorted sashimi platter arrives at Uofuji, staff guide guests on how best to enjoy each specific fish, whether paired with rich tamari soy sauce, salt, or citrusy ponzu to draw out the character of every thick-cut slice. Situated in Muko, this seafood specialist serves a seasonal selection featuring catches such as wild Pacific bluefin tuna, wild striped jack, and giant Pacific octopus across an array of preparations.
Beyond raw cuts, the menu features an assortment of grilled fish, including aromatic Saikyo miso-marinated black cod, grilled tuna collar, and seasoned fugu bone cuts. Deep-fried selections showcase careful heat control: salmon or tuna rare cutlets maintain a crisp crust around a tender, raw center, while Densuke conger eel and milt appear in delicate tempura batter. Ordering house-made potato salad, fresh tofu, or dashi-rich rolled omelet provides a comforting rhythm between seafood courses.
The drinks list centers on regional junmai and ginjo sakes, featuring labels such as Sookuu, Born, and Mutsu Hassen. To close the meal, diners can opt for a light sea bream chazuke, or choose heartier finishes such as curry rice or house-made ramen built on rich seafood broth. Because dinner service fills up quickly, reserving a table beforehand is recommended.
