Background of Opening and Store Features

"Sushi to Oden Ninoya Nishi-Funabashi Store" will open in a lively area lined with restaurants, just a 1-minute walk from the South Exit of JR Nishi-Funabashi Station. Nishi-Funabashi is a terminal station frequented by many people due to its excellent access to Tokyo, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, such as a drink after work or a meal with friends. Furthermore, our company's "Yatai-ya Hakata Gekijo Nishi-Funabashi Store" is adjacent, allowing for synergistic effects between group stores. We aim to create a store loved by the local community by leveraging the knowledge of store operations we have cultivated in the Nishi-Funabashi area.

The interior offers counter seats, as well as table seats and box seats. In addition, we have adopted a layout where customers can closely observe the sushi chefs at work from the table seats, creating special seats* where they can enjoy their meal while experiencing the live atmosphere of the sushi being prepared and engaging in conversation with the chefs. With the immersive experience of dishes being prepared right before their eyes, coupled with a space designed for closer interaction with the staff, this store allows customers to feel our cherished "omotenashi" (hospitality) more intimately.

"Sushi to Oden Ninoya" Menu Features

Creative Sushi to Accompany Sake

We offer "Kiwami Sushi," which is the epitome of luxury, lavishly using high-end ingredients, and a diverse range of "Atemaki Sushi" with unique ingredients that are perfect as appetizers or as a finishing dish, sure to make your sake go down smoothly. Enjoy them with our specially prepared sushi rice, made with carefully selected brand-name rice and Ninoya's original red vinegar. Each plate is small and reasonably priced, making it easy to order even for one person, and groups can share a variety of options.

Grilled Flying Fish Dashi Oden, Enjoyable Regardless of Season

Flying fish, the raw material for ago-dashi, swim as if flying over the sea, so they have less fat that causes impurities compared to other fish, resulting in a clear and elegant dashi. By grilling, the umami is concentrated, creating a deep dashi with a savory aroma that can be enjoyed regardless of the season. In addition to the standard lineup, we also offer seasonal limited-time menus using fresh ingredients. Prices start from 100 yen (110 yen including tax) per item.

Various Local Sakes Arriving Daily

Focusing on sake that pairs well with sushi and Japanese cuisine, we offer a variety of brands from all over Japan daily at reasonable prices per half-go (about 90ml). This allows even solo diners to easily enjoy several types of sake. Various sakes start from 380 yen (418 yen including tax) per half-go.
