Shipped from Japan to Hong Kong for its first overseas branch and second location in Hong Kong, Uogashi Nihonichi is a recommended option for dining at Central Market with its emphasis on fresh sushi, affordable omakase sets, and fruity sake flights.
Launched in 1989 at Tokyo’s famed Shimbashi Station, the standing sushi-bar chain specialises in Edomae-style sushi, serving fish farmed from the seas surrounding Tokyo atop sushi rice pickled in vinegar.
Donburi lunch sets (from HKD158) include proteins such as Wagyu, eel, and salmon. The Wagyu beef with uni rice bowl (HKD268) and quinoa shallot crispy salmon-skin rice bowl (HKD158) are popular orders.
During the evening hours, the omakase set (HKD688) offers a taste of everything at the Japanese chain, hosting three courses with four pieces of sashimi, seven Edomae sushi, a handroll, and chawanmushi. A flight of three sake varieties sourced from central Japan can be added on.
