Taste the Authentic Sushi - Sushi Uotada

Restaurant Review by H. T.

Today, I want to introduce Sushi Uotada. This restaurant is a Japanese seafood style restaurant. They serve hand-rolled sushi, arajiru, dessert and rice wine (sake). This restaurant is located in a residential area of Hiratsuka. You can get there on foot in 10 minutes from Hirastuka Station south exit.

This restaurant is operated by an elderly couple. In the restaurant there are counter seats and parlor seating (座敷). At the counter seats you can watch and enjoy as the shopkeeper makes the sushi before your eyes, and you can enjoy making small talk with him when you go there alone. In the parlor, there is a Japanese style partition in between the seat next to you, so you can  enjoy a conversation with your family.

I went to this restaurant with my family. We seat at the counter seats, and my father ordered Chef's Choice (おまかせ). The shopkeeper gave us cooked tuna, shellfish, mackeral (さば), sea urchin (ウニ), shrimp, fried eggs, and he served us at the pace that we were ready for.

The wife of the shopkeeper gave us arajiru and green tea jelly. Arajiru is a soup made with shrimp. This arajiru does not smell fishy and it's easy to drink even on a full stomach. Green tea jelly is for dessert. The taste is a little bitter but the fruit in the jelly was sweet and fresh.

With "Chef's Choice" you can change the order if you have a favorite, so the cost depends on what you choose, but the price is also ¥5,000 ~¥10,000. On that day, my mother came home from a trip, so my father treated us.
