Umibozu Main Store

You'll find Umibozu Main Store easily by the oversized, red paper lantern marked with the words “oden”. Located conveniently just 2 min. walk from Shizuoka Station, this spot offers a warm welcome and local vibe once you duck inside. Once inside your eyes will immediately travel to the source of the delicious smell, oden wafting up from the center hot pot.

Umibozu’s certified delicious flavor has won two different Shizuoka Oden competitions in 2008 and 2014. Among all the delicious flavors you definitely won’t want to miss the one-of-a-kind, soft-boiled egg oden. Gently simmered for 5 hours, this tasty eggwhite and rich, creamy yolk waiting inside will redefine everything you think you knew about oden.

There’s a whole lineup of Shizuoka regional favorites outside of oden. From Sakura shrimp, shirasu whitebait, seafood-star “Akamoku” seaweed, scabbard fish and red sea bream to fresh Shizumae seafood delights and Fujinomiya-style Yakisoba and more, there’s plenty to try. In regular izakaya-style, you can easily pick and choose exactly what you want as you want it. From the drink menu, you’ll find Shizuoka specials to try like Shizuoka-wari with local green tea inside, or the Shizuoka Mikan Sour to taste.

Whether you come alone or as a family, there’s counter seating, 4-person tables, Japanese style seating and private rooms so everyone can join.

Shizuoka Oden is now even available for takeout and delivery. It comes with oden powder and mustard for an authentic, real flavor of Shizuoka-oden at home that no prepackaged version could ever recreate.
