Today, due to various circumstances, the first floor store is the destination rather than the second floor. The second floor is a traditional wine bar, and the first floor is also a wine bar, not a girls bar. #Yushima #Ueno Hirokoji #Ueno Okachimachi #Wine Bar #White Wine #Snack #Kazuma Okamoto

This was my first visit. I usually only go to the same shops in Ueno, so I relied on the sign of a wine bar I passed by for new discoveries and entered. The muscular master kindly introduced the wine, so I felt comfortable even though I was alone. The atmosphere was very pleasant and I would like to visit again.

I went upstairs as usual, but the lights were off again, so I visited the open first floor! I highly recommend the second floor to everyone, so it's a 5-star rating! #Yushima #UenoHirokoji #UenoOkachimachi #WineBar #RedWine #Snack

I went to the second floor as usual, and although the door was unlocked, the lights were off. I was unsure what to do, but then a staff member from the first floor called out to me, so I decided to visit the first floor after a long time! #Yushima #Ueno Hirokoji #Ueno Okachimachi #Wine bar #Ai #2018 #Kenzo Estate #KENZOESTATE #Snack

I was able to visit for the first time in about six months! I listened to a lot of explanations about wine, but as usual, I only remember a little. The blackboard in the shop had many high-end wines listed that I don't have a connection with, haha. #Yushima #Ueno Hirokoji #Ueno Okachimachi #Wine Bar #Red Wine

You can enjoy delicious wine and champagne in a glass (or bottle) at Kenzo Wine, which always has a wide variety of selections. The appetizers served as a starter are also delicious. The first floor is a different shop under the same ownership, so if you want to visit both, you will have to pay separately on the first and second floors.

Be careful when going up the stairs to the second floor of the shop as they are very steep! (especially when coming back drunk) The owner is a bodybuilder and always looks very muscular! #Yushima #Ueno Hirokoji #Ueno Okachimachi #Wine Bar #Champagne #Red Wine #Cheesecake

It was a really lovely bar! The bartender was quite muscular and it was surprising, haha. He has a nice body! Even though the timeline was Sommelier -> Muscular, it's not a common type, so it was interesting (^｡^) Truly a sommelier! His knowledge of wine is extensive, so I just told him my preferences and left it to him. The heavy red wine he chose for us to enjoy slowly as our second stop was very delicious ♩ It was a very cozy and warm bar!

The perverted macho sommelier is the best! It was great to be able to enjoy good wine in a glass!

Becoming a member means that wine is half price, but the regular price is very high so it ends up being the same as drinking at other places at half price. The portion of food is small, but tasty. If you are knowledgeable about wine, you may not find it appealing, but for beginners who want to enjoy different wines, it might be a good option.

The atmosphere is subtle. It feels out of place to see bodybuilding-related awards in a wine bar. The quality of the drinks and food is high, but the prices are also high. I had a glass of sparkling wine, a glass of red wine, and only a small appetizer, and it cost almost 9000 yen. I don't think I will be coming back.

Sunyama Michi-san's place and then visited a wine bar where you can enjoy a tasting set at a reasonable price. They offer delicious wines from France and Italy that you may not have tried before. They have wines from the Loire region in France, such as Bouvray. Accessible by subway Chiyoda Line, Yushima Station, A2 exit, 1 minute walk. The interior has a small counter with about 8 seats. Today's order included small plates for 500 yen each. The wines available were Vouvray Blanc 2012 from Loire, Puligny-Montrachet Blanc 2013 from Burgundy, Saint-Joseph Rouge 2014 from Rhone, Barolo 2010 from Italy (Piedmont), and Super Tuscan (Cabernet Sauvignon) 2010 from Italy (Tuscany). They offer wines from various regions in France by the glass, which is a great advantage as many restaurants only serve them by the bottle.

It is my first visit on a regular night. Located on the second floor, about a 3-minute walk from Yushima Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. The interior of the restaurant has an authentic bar atmosphere with a sense of sophistication. The bottled wines range from a 4,800 yen Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand) to mainly wines in the 7,000 to 10,000 yen range. They also offer wine by the glass, typically in sets of 5-6 glasses, served in high-quality Riedel glasses. The food menu includes 500 yen tapas, pizzas, and pasta. I ordered the Caesar salad, garlic shrimp, and Margherita pizza, all of which were delicious and paired well with the wine. Overall, it's a sophisticated wine bar that caters to adults in terms of atmosphere and price range.

Located on a dimly lit alley between Nakamachi Street and Kasuga Street, Ma Cherie is a wine bar on the second floor. A pink sign saying "Wine in Yushima" is displayed outside. Upon climbing the stairs, you will find a cozy bar with a counter seating for nine and three tables. The owner, who also serves as the master, is often absent as he runs two other establishments. Visiting on a Saturday around 8 pm, we were fortunate to meet the master. Two women were quietly polishing glasses in the back. We opted for a wine tasting of three glasses for 1000 yen each, ordering a total of six glasses between the two of us. The master poured each glass meticulously, providing detailed explanations for each. The lineup included Brunello di Montalcino Torre delle Grazie 2008, Soleil de Couleure Chinon '10, Cotes du Rhone Villages Visan Bastide, Cabernet Sauvignon Fattoria La Lecciaia, Bodegas Juan Gil '11, and Exagon '09. We tasted each one in order. First, I had my companion, who resembled Satomi Ishihara, taste it and then asked for the usual phrase. After a bit of indirect kissing and sipping, we moved on to the main event. The master offered us Opus One, the pinnacle of California wines, at cost. It usually costs over 30,000 yen, but he was serving it for 4000 yen a glass. My companion chose Bodegas Juan Gil (1200 yen) from the tasting selection. Shortly after, a luxurious appetizer plate arrived, featuring salad, soup, cheese, vegetable sticks, baguette, and potato salad. Despite not being very hungry, we enjoyed the spread.

In the back alleys of Yushima, this shop can be a bit tricky to find for first-timers. However, once you step inside, you'll discover a top-notch relaxing space that you'll want to visit again and again. The shop has about 8 seats at the counter and only tables for 2. It's a very small place, but just right for the charismatic sommelier to attend to customers. If you express your preferences, they will serve you the perfect wine. They hold a monthly cost price fair, so you might be able to enjoy high-quality wine at a great price. The shop opens at 6 pm, which I thought was early for a bar, but they also offer a wide variety of dishes, so you can enjoy a proper meal here. The photo shows the appetizers that come out. Here are a few menu items: Matsusaka beef roast beef for 1,200 yen, Today's quiche for 800 yen, Sausage assortment for 1,200 yen, Pasta starting from 1,000 yen. With a wide variety of cheeses available, it might be a good idea to leave it up to the sommelier for both the food and wine. I've bookmarked Maselli as both a wine bar and an Italian restaurant!!

I thought it was a wine bar that only opened on Sundays, but it turned out to be open all year round. What a pleasant surprise! Located on the second floor of a street just off Naka-machi Street, the pink glowing sign may give the impression of a different type of establishment at first. Inside, the wine bar has a nice atmosphere with just the right amount of dim lighting. There are about 8 seats at the counter and one table that can seat 3 people. The sommelier is attentive yet not intrusive, creating a comfortable environment. During this visit with 3 people, we enjoyed a bottle of sparkling wine and red wine. The wine selection is extensive, with many options not listed on the menu. The food menu is also diverse, starting with a satisfying appetizer. The Vichyssoise, Rillettes, and 3 types of cheese platter (1000 yen) were more than enough. There are other interesting dishes on the menu as well. The roast beef (1200 yen) was specially made by "Yushima Takeuchi" in Yushima and was tender and delicious. It paired perfectly with red wine. I've been wanting to visit "Yushima Takeuchi," so I'll make sure to go soon. The tripe (800 yen) had a chewy and thick texture, and the amount of cheese was surprisingly generous. It also paired well with red wine. I discovered a very interesting item on the wine menu - a tasting set where you can choose 3 types of wine to try. It looks like a lot of fun. I'll definitely try it next time. ( ´艸｀)

【Latest review 2012/3】It seems that my algorithm has changed significantly, and reviews have little influence now. As a result, my rating, which was ★★★☆3.70, has dropped to ★★★☆3.5, so I will revert to my original evaluation. Once again, ★★★☆3.5→★★★★☆4.5 【Previous review 2012/3】With the significant change in the algorithm, Ma Cherie's rating is ★★★★4.12? That's ridiculous! It's not that kind of place! (laughs) To avoid such misunderstandings, I will lower the rating. Sorry, Ide-san, but I have to decrease the rating. It doesn't balance well with other restaurants. If you have any complaints, please speak to the Tabelog administrator (laughs). ★★★★☆4.5→★★★☆3.5 【Previous review 2010/4】The wine bar "Ma Cherie" is located on a side street off the famous Ueno Nakamachi Street in the nightlife district. There is a conspicuous Type A signboard on Kasuga Street. However, due to its shady location and unwelcoming atmosphere in the area, many people seem unaware of it. It's near the yakitori restaurant "Toruei," but it's on the second floor diagonally across from "Sushi Wasabi" (this restaurant adamantly refuses to be listed on Tabelog). Recently, a new signboard with a retro Showa era feel saying "Wine in Yushima" has appeared as a landmark. The bar has been operating with a staff of three, including the manager, two sommeliers, and part-time staff, dressed stylishly day and night. I first visited this bar about three years ago, I think, as a quasi-regular who visits when I least expect it, thanks to word of mouth from wine-loving friends. The atmosphere of the place is very chic, fitting for a bar. We have a variety of wines from France, Italy, California, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Spain, among others. There is also champagne, cocktails, beer, and shochu, which have been added based on customer requests. The food, including the proud quiche, may seem oddly elaborate for a bar, but perhaps because many customers use it as a final stop, the goodness of the food may not be fully appreciated. The one-plate hors d'oeuvre (equivalent to a seating charge, 1000 yen) served as an appetizer is quite substantial, so many people may find it sufficient. However, the occasional dish at Yushima can't be underestimated. The cheese selection rivals that of a French restaurant, and the smoked bacon has a tantalizing flavor, making it a bar that I, a hearty drinker who can't drink without snacks, am very happy with. Now, onto the main point. The biggest selling point of this place is undoubtedly "Tasting three glasses for 1000 yen is OK!" This is an irresistible line for wine enthusiasts, as you can choose any wine on the menu for three glasses regardless of price. The amount of wine poured is more than that of three tasting glasses, but you can taste a variety of wines at the same time, making it a very welcome story for those who want to become wine connoisseurs or want to check the taste of grapes by variety. I also use it for checking the taste of grape varieties and regions. The ratings for wine, atmosphere, and food are ★★★★4.0. However, "Tasting three glasses for 1000 yen" is something that other stores may find difficult to imitate, as wine deterioration is inevitable. Also, that bold pink signboard is a paper-thin sense that could be a noose around one's neck. For these two acts of La Mancha-like courage, I have rated the overall evaluation of the restaurant as ★★★★☆4.5. I am an occasional guest, but I am always very satisfied with the delicious wine and enjoyable conversations. Manager, Akata-san, sorry for the late review. And thank you for the delicious meals as always. Note 1: There are small tables at the back, but the restaurant is primarily a counter-style establishment. Please consider that a glass of wine costs around 1000-1500 yen. There are also premium wines and vintage wines, but I am satisfied with regular glass wines. A 10% service charge applies. Note 2: It is quiet in the early hours, but it can get crowded later on. Open year-round, operating until the first train.

Yushima (Okachimachi) Wine Bar "Wine Bar Ma Cheri" 2011-07-05 23:10:25 Theme: Ueno, Okachimachi, Yushima After eating tantanmen at Aun in Yushima, I asked my boyfriend to accompany me for a drink, saying "I want to drink alcohol today, so please come with me," and found "Wine Bar Ma Cheri" in Yushima and Okachimachi on Tabelog. I have been to this area many times, but I didn't know there was such a restaurant here. ■ Appetizer A surprising volume of appetizers including pumpkin soup, natural cheese, homemade miso pickled processed cheese, pate, and baguette. Of course, it's a portion for one person! It's well made and quite delicious. ■ Cheese Platter I was able to choose my favorite cheeses from quite a variety. I chose Mimollette, which is cut like flower petals (my favorite), and another cheese that was washed with a different kind of alcohol (I forgot). It was delicious. ■ Wine (Domaine Del'Arlot Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru 2003) I didn't feel like drinking something too heavy, so I asked for a light red wine, and the staff recommended Lalou and another bottle. We decided on Lalou. When I asked my boyfriend if it was the same as the Croix de Lalou we had the other day, he said "No, it's different because it's red," and when I said "Maybe it's Domaine Lalou?" he said "Yes." I'm not sure, but it tasted good. ■ Calvados It may look completely incomprehensible in the photo, but there is a whole apple inside the bottle! It was a mystery how they got it in there. The taste wasn't bad, but it was lacking something. ■ Champagne (Chartogne-Taillet: Chartogne-Taillet) Hmm, it was lacking something. We had a bottle and 4 glasses, and we drank quite a bit, so the price was quite high. Even with just the appetizers and glass of wine, you can enjoy yourself quite a bit. I think the glass of wine is a bit expensive. There are still many dishes that look interesting, like motsu stew. It was a delicious, cozy, and casual restaurant. It seems like a great place for solo drinking.

A recommended spot for a second drink after enjoying drinks around the Okachimachi area from Yushima is Wine Bar Ma Sherry. It is quietly nestled in a corner where shady-looking shops gather. A must-try is the "Weekly Glass Wine" selection. You can taste 3 out of 6 different wines that change weekly for 1,000 yen. With both red and white options available, you can try 12 varieties for 4,000 yen. Find your favorite wine from the selection and order it by the glass or bottle. The beautifully presented appetizers are not your typical fare. Enjoy a cheese platter for a delightful cheese tasting experience. This is a recommended spot for wine lovers looking for a second drink location, whether alone or with a friend.
