We visited the Hanabi Ueno store near Ueno Station, which is a completely private room izakaya. The interior has a traditional Japanese room atmosphere with partitions made of sliding doors. It was a bit cramped for four adults, but there were plenty of private rooms that were just right for two people. We ordered all-you-can-drink with dishes such as gyoza, grilled squid, grilled shishamo fish, tamagoyaki, and salmon sashimi. We had about 5 glasses of Premium Malt beer each, and the total bill for two people was around 10,000 yen. It was delicious.

The all-you-can-eat beef tongue for 3,300 yen with all-you-can-drink included sounds like a good deal, but unfortunately, the taste was bland and the meat was tough, so I ended up only eating the salad and dessert before leaving after 30 minutes. It was a disappointing experience at this restaurant.

A completely private room izakaya just 3 minutes from Ueno Station! Although Ueno Station is large, it is quickest to exit from Hirokoji or Shinobazu Gate. It is located on a street full of bars leading towards Okachimachi Station. There were many izakayas lined up and already bustling on Saturday afternoon! This izakaya here is committed to having all private rooms, with even private rooms for 2 people available! It's a common issue at izakayas that you can't use a private room with just 2 people, so it's very convenient to be able to use a private room with 2 people here. ✔︎Tsukune (one skewer) ¥190 ✔︎Steamed clams in sake ¥680 ✔︎Assorted sashimi platter ¥1,380 ✔︎Sweet potato tempura ¥780 The fresh sashimi had firm texture and was delicious! The presentation was also beautiful, which was another enjoyable point ☺️ I had sweated a lot in the intense heat, so the steamed clams in sake had just the right amount of salt and warmed my body. The food and drinks were served promptly and the staff's service was attentive. I had a pleasant time eating and drinking here. Thank you for the meal!

There is a recently popular izakaya near Ueno Station (Shinobazu Exit, Komichikuchi) that I heard about, so I entered without hesitation! The reason is not because they have something special, but simply because the food and drinks are delicious, and it's an izakaya with private rooms! The high quality of the food and drinks is what made this izakaya popular. It's called "Hanabi" in Ueno, so if you have the chance, please visit. I recommend it. Order details: - Chanja: 480 yen A perfect dish to pair with alcohol! There is no fishy taste in the cod innards, which is usually known for its strong taste. This chanja is easy to eat! If you like chanja but had trouble getting used to the taste, this is a must-try! You can taste the deliciousness of the cod and the right amount of spiciness from the chili pepper. I don't know if the quality is high or the processing is skillful, but to be able to enjoy such high-quality food for 480 yen is cost-effective and much appreciated! - Avocado sashimi: 680 yen The freshness is outstanding, and it was so delicious that I finished it quickly! I forgot to drink alcohol because I ate it too fast! I decided to order another one and enjoy it while drinking, but the avocado is so creamy! There is an indescribable deliciousness in its moist texture. It's not a vegetable or fruit, not even fatty tuna, and the slightly salty olive oil or sesame oil dressing or magical sauce that comes with it is also delicious! This was so delicious that I couldn't understand it, so I ordered another one, and it was still too delicious! But the fact that it disappears quickly after ordering it three times is true, so be sure to order the avocado sashimi! - Salted cabbage: 680 yen Amazing!! To put it bluntly, there is so much of it! Our stomachs are not cows with four compartments! We ordered it as our first order and nibbled on it together, but there was still some left until we left. The taste is, of course, delicious, with the reliable deliciousness of salted kelp and sesame oil. Even if you are short on money but still want to drink, or if you have a food fighter-like stomach capacity, please try ordering this! - Seafood chijimi: 780 yen Surprisingly, this was the most popular dish! The dough is thin but chewy, and the sesame oil aroma is nice! It is packed with plenty of chopped leeks, onions, and seafood such as shrimp and squid. The sauce is delicious, sweet and savory with a rich flavor, and it was too delicious. The presentation was like a bursting fireworks display! In conclusion, the food is delicious, the drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere is great! Also, when I went on a Tuesday evening, I had to wait for 15 minutes before being seated because I didn't have a reservation! If it's a peak time like Friday or Saturday, make sure to make a reservation in advance! It's cheaper to book online too!!

I visited this newly opened restaurant near Ameyoko!! Each table is a fully private room with a door, so you can enjoy your meal without worrying about your surroundings!! Roast beef salad 980 yen. The crispy salad and roast beef dressing complement each other perfectly!! The roast beef is so flavorful that you might doubt if it's homemade!! Fried river shrimp 590 yen. The shell is crispy, the meat is tender, and it's absolutely delicious!! It's tasty on its own, but squeezing lemon for a refreshing flavor makes it even better!! Octopus carpaccio 880 yen. The octopus is fresh and chewy, with a great texture!! The slight acidity enhances the dish, making it perfect for enjoying with drinks!! Boiled beef tongue 1600 yen. How many hours was this boiled for!? It's so tender and delicious!! It's good with just black pepper, but adding wasabi on top is the best!! The tingling flavor of wasabi and the rich taste of the tongue spread in your mouth as you chew, it's irresistible!! Every dish was so delicious!! Especially the boiled beef tongue was incredibly tasty!! There aren't many places where you can eat boiled beef tongue, so if I crave it again, I'll come back here!! Thank you for the wonderful meal!!

It had been a while since I drank in Ueno during the day. The recent daytime heat has made it such a hassle to even find a place to go. This restaurant is located just a 1.2-minute walk from the Ueno station's Shinobazu exit, so we went in without hesitation. The interior of the restaurant was all private rooms, and the air conditioning was really effective and great! We were told that they specialize in beef tongue, so we ordered about 4 dishes. Quail eggs ¥480 - The bite-sized quail eggs were easy to eat, and the flavor soaked in nicely from dipping them in soy sauce, making them delicious. Horse meat yukhoe ¥880 - The freshness was excellent, and the firm texture was smooth and satisfying. It paired well with the yolk. Grilled tongue ¥1700 - You could tell it was going to be amazing even before eating it! The chewy texture of the beef tongue was incredibly satisfying! Squeezing lemon over it made it refreshing to eat. Chicken wings ¥780 - Seasoned with salt and pepper, the juicy meat overflowed with each bite, making it delicious! The chicken wings were larger than expected and really great. Getting 5 for 780 yen was such a good deal! They really live up to their specialty of beef tongue with such high quality. I would like to try other beef tongue dishes next time. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited a restaurant that I had been curious about since I found it while drinking in Ueno before. It is located very close to the station, only about a 2-minute walk, and it is a rare restaurant in Ueno with all private rooms! The variety of dishes is very rich, especially the variety of tongue dishes was impressive! The menu I ordered was as follows: [Fried Oysters 680 yen] Hot and crispy with freshly fried coating! The large oysters are rich in flavor, and they were delicious with plenty of tartar sauce! [Corn Butter 580 yen] Served on a hot iron plate! The butter melts, spreading a nice aroma! The crispy corn was delicious! [Grilled Tongue 1,700 yen] You can smell the charcoal fire, and it was a delicious dish! You can enjoy the crunchy texture of the tongue! [Seafood Bowl 980 yen] A luxurious seafood bowl with salmon, tuna, octopus, and sea bream! Very fresh, voluminous, and delicious! It was a perfect finish! The grilled tongue was excellent as they specialize in tongue dishes! I wanted to try other tongue dishes, but all the dishes were delicious, and I ended up eating too much and had to give up... I plan to go back soon to try the tongue dishes I couldn't eat this time! It is conveniently located near the station, reasonably priced, and with private rooms, making it a very user-friendly restaurant! Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant is located a 2.3-minute walk from the Ueno Station, Shinobazu Exit. It is easy to find as it is right at the entrance of the shopping street. All seats are completely private rooms, and the air conditioning works well, making it a comfortable place to enjoy drinks. - Grilled Gyoza (5 pieces) ¥580: The gyoza had a chewy skin with a filling that was more meaty than vegetable. It tasted even better with chili oil. - Bonito Tataki ¥780: The bonito had no fishy smell, and the fatty texture was smooth and delicious. Highly recommended! - Shrimp Mayo ¥780: The plump shrimp paired well with the spicy mentaiko mayo, making it a dish that you can't stop eating. - Salted and Miso-marinated Tantaku ¥1600: With the weather getting warmer, having cold dishes on the menu was great! The refreshing salted tantaku with lemon juice was delightful. The miso-marinated tantaku had a rich flavor and a satisfying chewiness, making it a perfect match for beer. I personally preferred the salted tantaku! Overall, I was very satisfied once again. Thank you for the meal.

I have used this place before and decided to come back on such a hot day when I didn't feel like walking around looking for an izakaya. What's great about this place is that every seat is a completely private room. Even for just 2 people, being able to use a private room is the best. ☑︎Umeshu (plum wine) ¥480 ☑︎Oshinko (pickled vegetables) ¥680 ☑︎Assorted horse meat sashimi ¥1,980 ☑︎Grilled shishamo (smelt fish) with roe ¥680 On such a hot day, your body craves salt, so Umeshu and Oshinko have become a must-have. The presentation of the Oshinko is so beautiful, with eggplants thinly sliced into roses! The attention to detail in the speedy preparation of this dish is amazing. I wanted to taste the rich sauce of the horse meat sashimi, so I skipped regular sashimi and went for the horse meat instead! There were 3 types of horse meat. The lean meat was delicious, but I prefer the one with a moderate amount of marbling. Sometimes there are places that don't have this special sauce for horse meat, but it's a must for me. The sauce was placed on the table, so I could use it without hesitation ☺️ I will definitely come back here if I can't decide where to go next time. Thank you for the meal!

I went to drink with my senior at Ueno station! I searched online for a place where smoking is allowed, and found this restaurant, so I made a reservation and visited!

The skin, when eaten with the sauce, was really delicious! ~Salted squid innards~ 480 yen The chewy texture of the squid and the perfect amount of salt makes it a perfect snack with alcohol! There was a variety of dishes to compare, and all the dishes were delicious! The private room seating and smoking area were great too! I would like to use it again when drinking at Ueno station! Thank you for the meal!!

Located just a minute away from Ueno Station, Ueno 6-chome is packed with izakayas. If you're looking for a place to try, I highly recommend this restaurant that serves beef tongue, yakitori, and has private rooms available for two people. The boiled beef tongue dish is a popular choice these days, with the meat being so tender and flavorful. The yakitori options are also delicious, especially the sand liver and vegetable skewers. The daikon and prosciutto salad is a healthy and tasty option, while the clam sake steamed dish has a sophisticated flavor profile. Overall, this restaurant has a high rating, especially for its variety of beef tongue dishes. If you're looking for a place with delicious yakitori and private rooms, be sure to give this place a try!

The restaurant is located about a 2-3 minute walk from the Ueno Station, Shinobazu Exit. It is on the second floor of a building near the entrance of the shopping street, with a sign that makes it easy to find. The place was quite busy, but luckily a private room was available and we were quickly seated. The entire restaurant consists of private rooms, ranging from 2-person rooms to 8-10 person rooms, which seemed very convenient. The staff was very friendly and provided quick service, leading us to drink more than intended.

Just a 2-3 minute walk from Ueno-Okachimachi Station, you'll find Ameyoko Street bustling with open bars all year round. It's surprising to see so many people drinking from noon, creating a lively atmosphere. I visited a restaurant on the second floor near the entrance of Ameyoko Street, which was bustling even during the day. The interior had mostly private rooms, and there were a few solo drinkers. I tried the quail eggs for ¥480, which had a good portion size and went well with mustard. The recommended beef tongue sashimi for ¥980 was amazing! It was low-temperature cooked, offering a firm texture and a unique taste of beef tongue that was incredibly delicious. It paired well with yuzu pepper and was definitely worth the price. I also ordered salmon sashimi for ¥680, octopus sashimi for ¥680, and seared mackerel for ¥780. The staff kindly offered the seared mackerel as a complimentary service. All the dishes were fresh and delightful, with smooth salmon sashimi, flavorful octopus, and delicious seared mackerel. This restaurant is perfect for a hearty meal or a light drink, making it a great choice for a night out in Ueno.

I was walking around near Ameyoko in Ueno looking for a place to have a drink during the day, but almost every restaurant was full.

Thank you for the meal.

I was attracted to the drinking district towards Okachimachi from Ueno Station. I was drawn to the completely private rooms, smoking allowed. The building of the store had scaffolding set up for exterior work, but it was clearly marked with a large sign saying "Hanabi 2F open for business" so I could enter without hesitation. The menu had a wide variety of options, from salads to horse meat, fresh fish, fried foods, beef, skewers, grilled dishes, etc. There was something for everyone, even for picky eaters. I decided to splurge a bit and ordered the Ise lobster sashimi for ¥2,180. I was excited to see how it would be served, and I was not disappointed. The Ise lobster was served with the shell intact and even had dry ice for presentation, which was very satisfying. It was definitely Instagram-worthy. Thank you for the meal!

Located not far from Ueno Station, near the Shinobazu exit. I found this place by searching for a private room izakaya and made a reservation. It was around 4 pm on Saturday, so it was still empty. It seems like all seats are completely private rooms, and there were even private rooms for 2 people, although they were a bit small. There were cushions in the private rooms, making it easy to relax and enjoy drinking like at home. I ordered: Plum Shochu ¥480, Sashimi Assortment ¥1,380, Skewer Assortment ¥700, Roast Beef ¥980. Everything arrived smoothly after ordering. I tried Plum Shochu for the first time in my life, and it turns out it's made from shark cartilage! It was so delicious that I ended up ordering more. Since that day, I've been hooked on Plum Shochu...! I will definitely use this place again when I want to use a private room. Thank you for the meal.

I found a restaurant in the direction of Ameyoko from Ueno, where there are many drinking establishments. The area was bustling on a Sunday afternoon. I've been into private room izakayas lately, and this place had private rooms for each table. Each seat had a soft cushion which was amazing! It was great because my back didn't hurt, so I could sit for a long time and enjoy my drinks. I ordered: beef tongue carpaccio ¥880, grilled skewered beef tongue (2 pieces) ¥1480, simmered tripe ¥800, chicken wings (5 pieces) ¥780, green onion salted tofu ¥480, fried chicken cartilage ¥590, avocado salmon mayo ¥880. The beef tongue menu was extensive, and it was fun to try different ways of eating it. When I ordered the overnight pickled yam, the staff informed me that they also included a bit in the appetizer, so I was able to order something else. I like staff members who can provide such information! The overall food was generous in portion size. In terms of cost performance, it was really good. The trendy grilled skewered beef tongue was a bit pricey, but it was exciting to try this trend at an izakaya.

After a long break, I went shopping in Ueno with my friends! After finishing shopping, we got hungry so we decided to go for drinks and a meal. My friend wanted to eat beef tongue, so I looked it up online and found this restaurant, which we decided to visit. It was close to the station and easy to find. We ordered 4 dishes: "Tanshichu" for 1700 yen, which was beef tongue simmered in demi-glace sauce and very delicious. We also ordered "Beef Tongue Sashimi" for 980 yen, which was recommended by the restaurant and had a very fresh and natural taste. "Horse Sashimi Thigh" for 780 yen was very lean and tasty, with a light and delicious flavor. Lastly, we had "Avocado Salmon Mayo" for 880 yen, which was served in an avocado skin and had a rich and creamy flavor. The restaurant had private seating and a wide variety of menu options for beef tongue tasting. The staff was attentive and quick to respond. If I have the chance to drink in Ueno station again, I would like to visit this restaurant. Thank you for the meal!
