Oguchi

At lunch, set meals offer a choice of meat, fish or fried food. The weekly options include hamburg steak with tomato sauce, silver hirasu with sesame soy sauce, and Sangen pork loin cutlet. Each set comes with rice, miso soup and a small side dish. You can ask for a smaller or larger serving of rice, making it easy to match your appetite.

One diner who ordered the grilled-fish set meal praised the vegetables as well as the fish. The evening menu also features charcoal-grilled fish, making it an appealing choice for anyone planning a meal around seafood. Sashimi and sashimi platters offer another way to enjoy fish. One reviewer noted that the restaurant sources fish from a nearby fishmonger.

Charcoal-grilled skewers are another option at dinner. Order individual pieces such as thigh, negima, seseri or liver, or choose an assorted selection of 5 skewers. Diners have praised the yakitori, with one mentioning enjoying it alongside sake. The small plates include rolled omelette made with dashi, seared mackerel and a soft, grilled yam dish. There is plenty to consider, whether you want a few nibbles or a full meal.

The drinks list is another part of the evening’s appeal. Several diners have commented on the range of sake; one enjoyed labels from small breweries, while another said staff suggested a bottle after hearing their preferences. One reviewer ordered a tasting of 3 varieties, a good way to explore different styles alongside the food. Wine and shochu are also available for those looking beyond sake.

Lunch diners have also commented on the generous portions and quality of the ingredients. Oguchi suits both a daytime set meal and an evening gathering over fish, skewers and small plates. There is a terrace, where one diner enjoyed lunch outdoors. Dinner reservations are available.
