Thank you as always for reading! I’m Kyosuke Nishida, manager of Uonobu Shokudo.
Our most popular dishes—like the extra-large fried shrimp, crispy fried horse mackerel, and juicy fried chicken—are all made incredibly delicious thanks to one key ingredient: premium Japanese rice oil.
Most restaurants use cheaper oils like refined soybean oil or corn oil.
But at Uonobu Shokudo, we go the extra mile by using high-quality domestic rice oil, which is much more expensive.
Why? Because we prioritize flavor and health above all else!
Here’s why frying with rice oil makes all the difference:
1. Light, Crispy Finish with Excellent Drainage
Rice oil has superb oil-draining ability, so fried foods come out crispy and light.
Unlike other oils, it doesn’t leave greasy residue or cause that heavy feeling in your stomach.
Many customers tell us:
“Your fried shrimp is huge, but it’s so light and easy to eat!”
That’s the rice oil difference.
2. Rich Aroma, Clean Taste
Soybean and corn oils often leave a greasy aftertaste.
Rice oil, on the other hand, is neutral and enhances the natural flavor of the ingredients.
It also has a subtle, nutty aroma, making the flavor of fried items even more enjoyable.
That’s why our fried shrimp and karaage are so addictively delicious!
3. Packed with Antioxidants and Heart-Healthy Nutrients
Rice oil contains oleic acid and vitamin E, both known for their health benefits.
Especially rich in tocotrienol (super vitamin E), it has antioxidant properties that may help slow aging and prevent lifestyle diseases.
It also helps lower bad cholesterol, making it a healthier choice for everyone.
4. Stays Fresh Longer – Consistently Delicious
Rice oil is resistant to oxidation, so it lasts longer without breaking down.
This means we can serve you fried food that’s always fresh and flavorful, every time.
Many customers are surprised:
“I didn’t know the choice of oil could make such a difference in taste!”
5. It’s Expensive—but Worth It
Most restaurants choose cheaper oils like refined soybean or corn oil to cut costs.
But at Uonobu Shokudo, we believe that great food begins with great ingredients.
That’s why we insist on using high-grade Japanese rice oil, even though it costs more than twice as much as common oils.
Could we make more profit by switching to cheaper oil?
Yes—but we won’t.
Because we want you to experience the light, crispy fry that only we can offer.
In Closing
Our fried shrimp and horse mackerel aren’t just big—they’re delicious to the very last bite because of our commitment to rice oil.
