I often have breakfast at Toyosu Market, and I make it a point to visit local markets whenever I travel. This time, I stayed in the Daikokucho area, which is close to Osaka Kizu Market. Many shops there open early in the morning.
This time, I had breakfast at Uoichi Shokudo (魚市食堂), which is located near the market entrance. They opened in 2018, so the shop still has a fresh and modern appearance.
They The shop is quite small, with only around 12 seats. When I first visited at 8:30 a.m., there were already 20 people waiting, many of them families with children. I decided to try again the next day and arrived earlier, at 7 a.m.
The menu mainly features sashimi bowls, and large portions of rice are available at no extra cost.
Sea urchin is quite expensive these days, so I think the Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe Bowl, priced at 2,800 yen, offers good value.
I chose the kaisendon (sashimi bowl) with medium fatty tuna. Although I usually prefer leaner cuts, I was in the mood for fatty tuna that day.
The bowl included four slices of tuna, along with salmon roe, crab, baby sardines, greater amberjack, salmon, and more. The slices were thick, and the shrimp had a pleasantly springy texture. Everything was incredibly fresh!
All sashimi bowls are served with miso soup and pickles.
The staff mentioned that the Daily Special Kaisendon (市場の海鮮丼, 1500 yen) includes shrimp and salmon roe, making it a great deal. I’d love to try it next time!
