Discover Tokyo's Newest Charcoal Grill Izakaya

Tokyo’s bustling Gotanda district will soon welcome a new culinary gem, the Izakaya ‘Sengyo to Robatayaki Uo Uo’. This restaurant is a branch of the highly acclaimed ‘Uo Uo’ originally established in Kawasaki in 2018. The grand opening is scheduled for July 28, 2025, promising an exciting experience for seafood enthusiasts and sake lovers alike.

The Journey of ‘Uo Uo’

Founded by Akira Kikuchi, the server of ‘Uo Uo’ in Kawasaki is a testament to the flavors of charcoal-grilled cuisine. The restaurant has quickly gained popularity among patrons of various ages, and now boasts four locations. The new Gotanda branch is brought to life through the dedication of Taku Yoshida from Sunbishitto Co., Ltd. who has trained under the original establishment to ensure the authentic taste of ‘Uo Uo’ is preserved.

A Culinary Delight

At ‘Sengyo to Robatayaki Uo Uo’, guests can look forward to a curated menu featuring selected ingredients grilled over authentic binchotan charcoal from Kochi Prefecture. This cooking method allows for even heat distribution, resulting in moist and succulent fish that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients. Signature dishes include the massive charcoal-grilled mackerel, standing at around 30cm long, which is a favorite among patrons.

A Variety of Dishes

In addition to fresh seafood like oysters, the menu also offers a rich array of ‘Obanzai’ (traditional Japanese home-cooked dishes), enhancing the dining experience with flavorsome items such as clam broth oden and seasonal grilled vegetables. To finish off the meal, patrons must not miss the expertly grilled rice balls, which provide a delightful crunch.

Perfect Pairings

‘Sengyo to Robatayaki Uo Uo’ takes pride in its selection of sake, sourced from various regions across Japan, which perfectly complements the high-quality seafood dishes. Each bite is intended to harmoniously elevate the culinary delights of the izakaya.

Vibrant Atmosphere

The design of the ‘Sengyo to Robatayaki Uo Uo’ provides a lively dining atmosphere, where diners can watch their food being expertly prepared in the open kitchen. This space includes counter seating that offers an engaging view of the chef in action, as well as tranquil seating options for those seeking a more relaxed dining environment.
