A 7-minute walk from Kurosaki Station, I visited the award-winning izakaya "Uotora," which has received the BRONZE AWARD in the top 100 izakayas.I made a reservation through Table Check six months in advance and arrived on a weekday at 8:30 PM. Until the year before last, I could only make reservations by phone in the fall for the entire year, which made it difficult to visit. However, the reservation method changed last year, allowing me to finally dine here.I ordered the JPY 9,000 course.The meal started with a sashimi platter featuring 9 types of fish. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, with both texture and flavor being top-notch.Next came a salad, followed by Higan Fugu sashimi with ponzu sauce, and a large simmered Black Mutsu. The fish was cooked in sweet soy sauce from Kyushu, and the perfectly fatty Black Mutsu had a delightful texture, making it incredibly delicious.Then came Gold Rush corn and chawanmushi (savory egg custard), followed by deep-fried Okose. The fish was fried whole, including the bones and head, and cut into bite-sized pieces. When enjoyed with the chef's special spicy salt (chili salt), the white meat of the Okose really shone, making it exceptional.I also added whale sashimi, which was equally delicious.The meal continued with umaki (egg roll) and grilled anago (conger eel), finishing with Tai Chazuke (sea bream rice soup). The Tai Chazuke was also delightful.I enjoyed every bite until the very end.【Today's Menu】1.
