01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
When you want to settle in over a succession of unpretentious small plates of seafood, Numazuko Kaisho makes the decision easy. Much of the food menu is offered at a uniform ¥380, allowing diners to assemble a custom spread from tuna nakaochi, salmon sashimi, and surf clam sashimi in modest portions. You might start with cool raw whitebait or horse mackerel namerou before moving on to warm dishes like clams steamed in sake, fresh-fried horse mackerel, or crisp breaded oysters—all with the easygoing appeal that a flat-rate price list brings.
From Daytime Drinks and Set Meals to All-You-Can-Drink Options
Opening at 11:30, the restaurant functions just as smoothly for a casual sit-down meal as it does for daytime drinking. Midday lunch features reasonably priced bowls and sets for around ¥850, including tuna nakaochi don, grilled atka mackerel sets, and fried horse mackerel sets. On weekday afternoons, an all-you-can-drink package is available from ¥600 for the first 1 hours. A la carte drinks are uniformly priced at ¥380, covering Sapporo Black Label, Kakubin highballs, and sakes such as Takasago and Hananomai, making it simple to choose between ordering by the glass or committing to the drink plan based on your pace.
The dining room includes counter seats alongside standard tables, equally suited to dropping by alone for 1 or 2 quick bites or gathering around a table with companions. Payment is cash only, so it pays to come prepared, but it remains a reliable, down-to-earth stop whenever fresh seafood and a casual drink are on the agenda in Ueno.
