About this place
One diner described the custom-made ham cutlet as steak-sized. The menu’s “Downtown Thick-Cut Ham Cutlet” could be a satisfying choice when you want one substantial dish. By contrast, someone who tried the whitebait omelette remarked on its fluffy eggs. Whether you opt for a generously thick centrepiece or put together a few lighter snacks, there is pleasure in deciding what to order.
For fish, Saikyo-style grilled silver salmon is another dish that has made an impression. One visitor was surprised by its size and said the miso flavour had soaked in so well that it made them want rice. The menu also lists silver salmon belly, Saikyo-style grilled sablefish and grilled striped atka mackerel, offering plenty to choose from if you want to focus on grilled fish.
The snacks range from seared beef to prawn kakiage fritters and fried mochi with spicy cod roe. For a final dish, options include Japanese-style whitebait pizza and ginger-and-egg fried rice. One visitor enjoyed the pizza’s crisp texture and recommended pairing it with wasabi, a useful tip for trying the dish. Sake choices include Suigyoku and Yamato Shizuku from Akita, and Kokuryu from Fukui, with the varieties and regions listed. The menu suits both an evening of matching a drink to a dish and a meal of sampling several snacks.
Udagawa is an izakaya in Nishikasai. One visitor said they enjoyed chatting with the owner and regulars at the counter. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining, and reservations are available.
