Uoriki

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa


Uoriki is a fishmonger's run by the same family since 1905 (back when Shibuya was practically still a village). There's a restaurant hidden in the back that serves remarkably inexpensive yakizakana teishōku (set meals of grilled fish, rice and miso soup); the house speciality is saba-miso (mackerel simmered in miso).
