Expertly Handled Seafood From a Trusted Fish Shop
A long-established fish shop in Gifu City with an eat-in space, in operation since its founding in 1910. After generations of operating solely as a fresh fish retailer, the fourth-generation owner began serving prepared dishes in-store to share professional knowledge on selecting, preparing, and appreciating seafood. Seasonal fish is expertly prepared in full view, offering a unique experience at a specialty fish shop. Efforts also extend beyond the shop through workshops and takeout options that make it easier to enjoy fish at home. To introduce children growing up in landlocked Gifu to the appeal of seasonal seafood, tuna-cutting demonstrations featuring whole bluefin tuna are held at kindergartens and at local events such as the Dosan Festival in spring and the Gifu Nobunaga Festival in autumn.
Food Education Event Designed to Inspire a Love of Fish
A variety of food education events are held for children growing up in landlocked Gifu. At the shop, hands-on work experience programs are offered, including activities suitable for summer research projects. In addition to appearances at local events such as the Dosan Festival in spring and the Gifu Nobunaga Festival in autumn, on-site tuna-cutting demonstrations featuring whole bluefin tuna are also conducted at kindergartens.
The Most Delicious Daily Special at That Time of Year
Popular menu items include the "UOGI set meal," which pairs sashimi with either grilled or simmered fish, the limited "fish mille-feuille bowl" available in just 10 servings per day, and daily specials such as the "seafood bowl," "today’s sashimi set," and "Thursday seafood curry." The establishment continues the tradition established by its founder, preparing sushi rice fresh without advance batching and serving fish only after careful aging.
