A popular spot with long lines! A new facility within walking distance of the Tenjin area where you can enjoy seafood (Fukuoka City)
Hello! I'm Hakata Aya, a writer who shares the hottest information about Fukuoka.
This time, we will introduce a new and talked-about spot near Tenjin where you can enjoy the atmosphere of a fresh fish market and delicious seafood.
Even if there's a huge queue, it's worth visiting at least once! The hot new spot "Uoza" (Nagahama, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)
"Uoza" was launched on November 9, 2024 with the desire to make the charm of Nagahama Fresh Fish Market more accessible to the people of Fukuoka.
The facility is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the Tenjin area, yet allows you to feel the vitality of the fresh fish market.

Here, exhibitions and events are held under the theme of "Eat, learn about, and learn about fish," and there is also a food hall where you can enjoy eating, making it a very popular spot!

Full of excitement, including photo spots and a "Sashimi Dojo"!
At the entrance, you'll be greeted by a photo spot featuring a "Motorola," a transport vehicle used to transport goods around the market! It's a vehicle you don't see very often, so it's sure to be a fun time taking commemorative photos.

SASIMI DOJO will be holding a "Sashimi Making Experience" where you can learn how to make delicious sashimi. Many people usually buy ready-made sashimi, but being able to make it yourself can be even more fun!

Create your own custom set meal at this popular food hall!
The biggest attraction of the facility is undoubtedly the food hall! The facility opens at 11:00, but on this day customers gradually began lining up about 30 minutes before opening time, and by the time the store opened, there was a very long line...!

The food hall is spacious and can seat 120 people, so first make sure you find a seat.

After that, I picked up a tray and went straight to the display case. It's all self-service.

Fresh seafood is lined up in the showcase, with prices starting from 250 yen per small plate. You can enjoy combining your favorite seafood dishes. There are also plenty of sashimi platters, grilled fish, and small dishes, so it's hard to decide what to choose!

The lineup varies depending on what's in stock that day (and often differs even from the previous day). The day's arrivals are posted on the official Instagram, so it's a good idea to check it out.

When you tell the staff what sashimi you want, they will serve you about five slices on a small plate.

If you don't know what to buy, we recommend ordering the "Sashimi Assortment" for 550 yen, 1,100 yen, or 2,200 yen!

There are also fried foods such as "Squid Mince (2 pieces)" (250 yen) and "Horse Mackerel Fried (2 pieces)" (250 yen)! Even those who don't like sashimi can enjoy it.

There were two kinds of grilled fish.

Grilled fish is cooked after you order, so you receive a numbered ticket. It's nice to be able to eat it fresh!

I wanted to try this and that...it was a super luxurious set meal!

This time, I tried making my own original seafood bowl by putting the sashimi I chose on rice.
I ordered the 1,100 yen "Assorted Sashimi" and "Ikura" (salmon roe), but it was so voluminous that I couldn't finish it all! I ate the other fish as sashimi.

As it is not just "direct from the market" but "directly connected to the market," the ingredients are large and really fresh!
The sweetness and softness of the squid that slowly spreads in your mouth is amazing!

A generous amount of salmon roe is a must for a seafood bowl! The popping salmon roe is rich and melts in your mouth, so you'll feel like you can eat it forever. It doesn't have any unpleasant odor at all.

The "Pickled Tuna" has a rich, well-marinated flavor and goes perfectly with white rice! It melts in your mouth and the delicious flavor spreads throughout your mouth. Personally, it was my favorite!

The soy sauce corner also has dashi soup stock, so you can finish off your meal with dashi chazuke. I was able to enjoy the seafood to the very end.

You can also make a set meal like this, topped with freshly grilled fish and minced meat cutlet.
Image: Hakata Aya. Total price: 1,200 yen
The facility also has a sales corner that mainly sells seafood from Fukuoka and Kyushu.

There are many products that you won't find in supermarkets, so be sure to look for some unusual items.

Not only can you eat extremely fresh fish because it is a facility directly connected to the market, but there are also exhibits of rare fish that you don't usually see. It's not just a place to eat, it's an experience-based spot where you can experience Fukuoka's fish culture, so be sure to visit! (Text by Hakata Aya.)
