Ushioya

Seafood restaurant

👍👍 One of the best I’ve tried - very delicious, with a great variety of fish. They are very tender, fresh (possibly due to the proximity to the coast) and not fishy at all. Portion of rice is also good. They even make their own soy sauce, which has a rich flavour and not too salty. All in all, I’ll rec...

👍👍 When I came and saw it, I was a little surprised to see that it was quite a gorgeous waterfall, unlike the delicate image I had from photos.
