Lyric

In a quiet port at break of day

A golden fish is on its way

Caught with care, fresh from the tide

Prepared with love and hometown pride

A bowl of rice, so soft and warm

An egg, a sauce—tradition’s charm

Not grilled, not fried, but simply laid

The soul of sea in every blade

Uwajima Taimeshi, taste the tide

Where ocean, heart, and hands collide

A bite of sea, a kiss of sun

One dish, and your journey’s begun

Come hungry, leave satisfied

No fancy rules, just chopsticks, grace

A silent nod, a smiling face

Mix it gently, slow and true

This isn’t fast—it’s made for you

Beneath the sea, the flavors sleep

Awakened now, and yours to keep

With every bite, a story told

Of fisher’s life and hearts of gold

Some meals feed the body fast

But this is made to truly last

In every bowl, in every bite

A spark of warmth, a guiding light

Uwajima Taimeshi, slow delight

Born from dawn and stars at night

So sit, and taste, and feel it sing

The gentle joy this dish can bring

A treasure cooked just right

Uwajima Taimeshi, simple, true

It waits with open arms for you

Let ocean’s spirit fill your day

With every bite, you’ll hear it say:

“You’ve found your home in something new”
