We had the honor of welcoming 5th generation sake owner of Otokoyama Sake from Japan to a special pairing of sake and dinner collaboration with Uchi Houston. Goro-San (sake-enthusiest) spent one night in Houston to celebrate his family’s new label. This sake can only be found at Uchi Houston as they are not available for retail. Deliciously rare.

Uchi Houston stands out on these three characteristics. The level of quality, artistic creativity on the plate, and their freshness of the ALL the ingredients. I have never eaten rice so flavorful and I have been eating it all my life! Their sushi are the finest, freshest fish that is imported from Japan. Always keeping seasonal ingredients in mind to change up the menu. It is no wonder why I hear Astro’s players come here often!
