About this place
For a substantial meal at UO MASA, consider the sashimi set or tempura set. Both are listed at 2,500 yen, so you can choose between a meal centred on raw fish and one built around tempura. One diner who ordered the sashimi set reported that it came with rice, pickles, soup and a small side dish. As the small dish may vary from one order to another, it is best to think of this as a set with a few accompaniments rather than a fixed combination. A diner also described the tempura set as a 2,500-yen meal. If you would rather keep things lighter, you could pair rice with an assorted sashimi platter or a few individual dishes instead.
Among the à la carte options, one diner described the rolled omelette as soft, light and infused with dashi. It is listed on the menu at 660 yen and could be ordered on its own or alongside sashimi and grilled dishes. A diner who tried the fried icefish noted that the fish were larger than those often seen served as odorigui—live seafood eaten as it is—and had a faint sweetness. The menu lists the dish at 770 yen. The recommended dishes also include stewed beef tendon in miso; one diner found its sweet-and-savoury flavour particularly appealing with plain rice. It is an option to consider if you would like something beyond fried food.
Ochazuke, rice served with tea or broth, comes in flavours including plum, salmon, spicy pollock roe and sea bream. Plum ochazuke is listed at 660 yen and sea bream ochazuke at 990 yen. Either could suit a lighter meal or a little extra after a set meal or a few à la carte dishes. The menu also lists a mini kaiseki course of 6 dishes at 4,500 yen, and a 7-dish option with savoury egg custard at 5,000 yen. There is room both for a relaxed izakaya-style meal of sashimi, grilled or fried dishes and small plates, and for a more structured set meal or kaiseki course.
