01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

A major draw of Umekin in Nishi-Kamata is that after a full spread of izakaya fare and drinks, there is no need to wander elsewhere for a late-night bowl of noodles. Carrying forward its roots as a dedicated ramen shop, the converted izakaya continues to serve authentic, deeply satisfying ramen that remains a centerpiece of the meal.

From Sauced Meats to Quick Izakaya Small Plates

Original signature dishes showcase bold, distinctive seasoning: wagyu sashimi coated in rich house-made sea urchin sauce, seared Iberico pork dressed with balsamic butter sauce, and tender simmered tripe. Alongside these sit affordable, ready-to-eat small bites like dashi-marinated edamame, house seasoned eggs (ajitama namul), and crushed cucumber tossed with ume plum and bonito flakes.

Ishikawa Sake, Varied Shochu, and a Sea Bream Broth Finish

The drinks list draws heavily from Ishikawa Prefecture sake labels like Tedorigawa, Kikuhime, and Kagatobi, supported by a broad range of sweet potato and barley shochu along with fruit liqueurs like Oishii Tomato. Guests can settle in over drinks and savory bar bites, then finish with the signature sea bream broth ramen. Comfortable for solo visitors and small groups alike, it effortlessly satisfies cravings for drinks and noodles under one roof.
