Utoro Fishermen's Wives Co-operative Diner
A genuine diner at Utoro fishing port, started in the Showa 40s era to feed deep-sea fishermen. Run by the fishermen's wives co-operative, it fills to capacity the moment doors open. Only 20 counter seats—the simplicity says it all. Uni bowls are exceptional during April-August when sea urchin is landed. Tabelog 470 reviews, 3.49.
Reviews say: 'Full at opening 8:30,' 'The uni is fresh and sweet,' 'Atmosphere of a real fishermen's diner,' 'Both tourists and fishermen come.' Tabelog 470 reviews. Some reviews note tourist pricing (uni bowl around 3,900 yen market price), but justified as a port co-operative operation.
