Oyaji

A short flight of stairs leads up to the 2nd floor of an Iwamotocho building, where lunch orders land on the table with remarkable speed. The primary draws at Oyaji are generous tuna rice bowls, including chutoro tekkadon and mixed tekkadon. With their tidy rows of medium-fatty chutoro and deep red akami, these bowls attract steady weekday lunchtime crowds looking for quality raw tuna without the fuss.

Extra Toppings with 'Atamadekkachi' and Rice Choices

A key detail here is the option to order atamadekkachi, an offbeat term indicating extra seafood toppings relative to the rice. While standard portions are already generous, sizing up the fish shifts the balance decisively in favor of fresh tuna. Diners can also choose between vinegared sushi rice or plain white rice—a flexibility regulars appreciate. Jars of pickled daikon sit on the counters and tables, providing a crisp, refreshing palate cleanser between bites.

Sashimi Sets and Useful Dining Notes

For those who prefer their fish on the side, set meals such as the chutoro sashimi teishoku and mixed sashimi teishoku pair cold slices with warm rice and a comforting bowl of shijimi clam miso soup. The dining space features a long counter alongside a raised tatami seating area, making solo diners feel entirely at ease. Service focuses primarily on weekdays, and payments are strictly cash only, so planning ahead ensures a smooth visit.
