At lunchtime, only omakase set menus are offered; in the evening, à la carte dishes are also served. Ikkon Uehara aims to cater to a regular clientele, so the menu is comprehensive and the cuisine lovingly prepared. An assorted platter loaded with appetisers show that the old ways are not forgotten. A wooden bowl of fishcake steeped in a clear broth is classic comfort food. The counter is a horigotatsu; behind the counter, the couple in charge deliver cheerful and gracious service. Tip a cup or two of sake and feel the seasons change.
