Doesn’t Sushi restaurant scare you? This is the sushi restaurant with the welcoming environment. I would always visit here with my family every time I am in Japan. Menu has the price and you know how much you are spending. Sushi chef will be in front of you to make the one you like, not the ones going around like a merry go around. You can also sit at the tatami mat with holes where you can put your feet down. And all the fish is from the Harumi fish market near by. So fresh, so tasty, and so easy, and so good.
“Bring your family to the quality sushi without worrying about your bank. ”
This is the soba I grew up with. Handmade Tokyo-style soba in Ueno, owned by my grade-school friend and still one of my favorites.
Ueno has a long connection with American casual style. Hinoya is one of my favorite places to see that history through Japanese denim.
One of the first sushi restaurants I felt comfortable visiting on my own. Sit at the counter, talk to the chef and definitely try the negitoro.
Great chicken, yakitori, sake and oyakodon to finish. This is one of my favorite ways to spend an evening around Ueno.
Military jackets, MA-1s, camouflage and classic Americana. Nakata Shoten is part of the wonderfully chaotic shopping culture around Ueno.
Beer, nikomi, skewers and seats under the train tracks. Daitouryo is one of those places where Ueno feels completely like Ueno.
Good sushi doesn’t always need to be expensive or intimidating. Yoshi Sushi is an easygoing Ueno spot I like for quality sushi with family and friends.
