What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Uomasa is celebrated by locals and visitors for its exceptionally fresh seafood and authentic sushi, offered at remarkably reasonable prices. While many praise the quality and generous portions, some note potential language barriers with the menu and service, particularly if seated on the second floor. It's a highly recommended spot for genuine Hokkaido flavors.
"Had lunch at this place twice. The first time was recommended by local friends from Otaru. 2nd time was with my other Japanese friend and Korean friend.
We got there before they open at noon, but there were already a waiting line. It moved fairly quickly.
Sushi is delicious, and the price is reasonable compared to other sushi restaurants in Otaru.
I see that some reviews say they put extensive amounts of wasabi to Korean customers on purpose, but that is definitely not true. They asked if putting wasabi to sushi is okay when we ordered, and we said yes. It seems they put more wasabi for certain sushi generally. It was the same for everyone's dish (my Japanese friend ordered in Japanese)."
Rachel Nam
"We stumbled on this sushi place by chance. Initially we planned to go for another sushi place by searching on Google. Unfortunately the first sushi place was closed (but didn’t show on Google). As Uomasa was close by and was open, we went for it.
Ordered two sets of sushi, a sushi bowl and a small grilled cheese potato (that had sea urchin, cheese and corn beef). Sushi and sushi bowl were good. Seafood was fresh and tasty. The grilled potato was unexpected delicious. Service was efficient.
Note that last order was at 8pm."

"Wanted to try sashimi with cooked menu so tried this restaurant after checking Google. Faced a bit of struggle with the menu as they were mostly in Japanese except for one page of English version. The Otaru Nigiri plate of 12 assorted sashimi were generally tasty but some items may not be ideal as you can specify the choice of seafood. Assorted tempura was good the batter tasted light and overall crispy not too heavy. Grilled salmon & salmon roe don is salty with most of the salmon probably due to the uneven salt seasoning. Service might not be easy if you are seated on the 2nd level as most activities are downstairs."
