Meat no Ohyama Ueno Store

Established in 1932, this long-standing meat wholesaler runs a restaurant in Ueno's Ameyoko shopping district. Since opening this spot has continued to draw lines out the door filled with hungry patrons who love high quality cuts at low prices, whether for lunch or dinner.

Step inside to find a restaurant space complete with tables and counter seating. At lunch the menu keeps a lineup of easy sets where steaks, hamburgers, and fried dishes are the star, all priced around 1,000 yen. In the evening, the menu expands to include a variety of à la carte options, including pizza and pasta.

At the front of the store, there's a standing bar area where customers can order at the window and enjoy fried foods or skewers with beer or sake. This area, like many others in Ameyoko, is perfect for daytime and standing drinks, offering great value for a bar-hopping experience. The window also offers takeout, making it convenient to grab freshly fried menchi-katsu or croquettes to enjoy while strolling around Ameyoko.
