UO KUSA

Uokusa is an outdoor standing bar in the middle of Ueno Ameyoko Market in Tokyo that serves seafood and Japanese sake. It offers raw oysters, a five-item assorted hoe, maguro nozuke, and mouka no hoshi, a shark heart sashimi. Customers order by speaking from the menu and pay in cash as they go, with a limit of two drinks over 30 minutes. Seating is tight, so you stand shoulder to shoulder with strangers.
