About this place
At lunchtime, USHIMAKETA pairs a choice of main dish with a set meal that includes a range of small sides. The recommended lunch features a daily main with salad, side dishes, miso soup, rice and pickles, making it a handy choice when you are not sure what to order. Diners have described the daily lunch as generous in both variety and portion size. For a familiar favourite, there is a lunch of coarsely ground hamburg steak topped with a fried egg, as well as a lunch featuring chicken fried with shio koji. One diner found the hamburg steak tender enough to appeal to children, making it a possible option for a family lunch, too.
For a change from a Western-style set meal, make pasta the centrepiece. Choices include Japanese-style bacon and shimeji mushrooms, cod roe with oba leaves, and carbonara, along with Bolognese made with house-made meat sauce and eggplant with bacon in tomato sauce. Each is listed with a mini salad, a side dish and bread, so lunch includes more than just pasta. One diner who tried the daily pasta at lunch said they would like to come back and try another dish, hinting at the range on offer.
If you would like to linger after your meal, a lunch set with coffee or tea is also available. Choose a substantial set meal or pasta served with salad and bread; at USHIMAKETA, lunch can take different forms to suit the day.
