Uhit(a) Shokudo

Welcoming diners from 9:00 in the morning until 13:00 in the afternoon, Uhit(a) Shokudo is an unhurried Japanese eatery in Horikiri, Katsushika Ward, where drinks and cooked meals are ready well before midday. Table service and a calm neighbourhood pace make it an easy retreat after an early stroll or for a leisurely weekend brunch.

For those dropping in for an early drink, the bottled beer snack set—pairing a medium bottle of Sapporo with an assortment of bites—provides a straightforward start. Dishes are prepared to order and brought to the table hot, turning a side of pork luncheon meat with fried egg into a satisfying companion to a glass of beer. Canned Kaku highballs, shochu highballs, and lemon sours are also available alongside beer.

The food menu highlights comforting choices like Okinawa soba with stewed pork cartilage, taco rice, and a pork onigiri set accompanied by lightly pickled vegetables and soup. Heartier options include the Uhita Gozen, Stamina Don, and the simpler Uhita Don, with small sides like natto or salted squid available to build out a custom spread. It remains a dependable Horikiri morning stop for straightforward cooking and drinks at one's own pace.
