Uogashi Shokudo Chuo Market Branch

Uogashi Shokudo Chuo Market Branch is located inside the Kanazawa City Central Wholesale Market and is one of three locations in the city. Generous portions of fresh fish delivered directly from the market are served here, drawing a lively crowd of regulars at lunchtime.

The menu centers on seafood rice bowls made with locally caught fish, simmered fish, grilled fish, and unaju eel rice boxes. The restaurant uses Hyakumangoku, a premium rice brand from Ishikawa Prefecture. Its signature dish is the Fisherman’s Rocky Shore Seafood Bowl, piled so high with shrimp, octopus, and other toppings that they spill over the sides. Three weekday lunch options are available, including the Fish Lunch. The restaurant also offers more than 16 set meals, such as the Deluxe Sashimi Platter Set, served with sashimi, fried items, and a small side dish, and the Fish Lover’s Set, topped with 10 items including sashimi. A wide selection of à la carte dishes, including fried foods and meat dishes, is also available. Seafood rice bowls and unaju can be ordered for takeout.

The interior features a warm brown color scheme and has 51 seats at the counter and tables. It is welcoming to both solo diners and groups. Visitors can also tour the market and learn more about Kanazawa’s food culture.
