On this day, I was bar hopping around Ueno. When I passed by Ueno Hirokoji Station, I noticed an interesting store. Food and drinks for 300 yen? That's quite cheap even in Ueno... Alright, let's check it out!
The stage for today is "Matsuriya Yumekichi." It's located just a one-minute walk from Ueno Hirokoji Station, in a great location. As the name suggests, the inside of the store has a festive atmosphere, making it quite lively! The drinks are relatively cheap, with draft beer starting at 380 yen. It's a delight for drinkers.
First, I ordered a highball for 300 yen. It's quite a good deal. Now, I want to order some food, but the menu is so extensive that I'm having a hard time deciding. But since it's affordable, I'll keep ordering more!
I started with the "Morokyu" for 300 yen. It's a refreshing dish, nothing particularly special, but it's tasty.
Next, I tried the "Chicken Breast with Ponzu Sauce" for 380 yen. The combination of ponzu sauce and chicken is excellent! It's another refreshing dish.
Then, I had the "Grilled Salmon Belly" for 300 yen. Surprisingly, this is also 300 yen! It's a great value for money, with a delicious taste and rich flavor.
I couldn't resist ordering the "Grilled Gyoza" for 380 yen because it looked so appetizing in the photo. It's voluminous and has great value for its price. Highly recommended.
Lastly, I ended with the "Soba" for 300 yen. Surprisingly, soba is not often found on izakaya menus. The taste is okay, not too firm. For 300 yen, it's decent.
Overall, this is an affordable and casual izakaya. The food may not be mind-blowing, but considering the total cost and enjoyable atmosphere, it's a great place to have a fun time drinking and eating with friends. They also offer all-you-can-eat and drink options, which seem reasonably priced. It's a welcoming place to visit, especially since they are open until morning. If you're looking for a place to go, I recommend giving it a try.
