About this place
Shoppers looking for takeaway sushi on the basement 1 floor of the Matsuzakaya Ueno department store will find a dependable selection in the showcases of Naniwa Koichian, stocked with boxed sets and sushi rolls. Despite its depachika food hall setting, prices remain approachable, and recurring customer feedback mentions regulars dropping by specifically for the generously filled maki.
The roll selection lets diners choose according to their taste, with options such as the signature Uzushio-maki, an Anago Jomaki conger eel roll, and a refreshing Salad Maki. Picking up a single thick roll to serve as the centerpiece of an everyday dinner is an easy, budget-conscious way to sort out a meal.
For varied samplers, boxed selections such as Assorted Naniwa Sushi, Assorted Osaka Sushi, and Assorted Hako-Sukeroku offer a balance of pressed pieces and rolls. The chirashizushi range includes Shrimp Chirashi, Conger Eel Chirashi, and the colorful Aya Chirashi, making it simple to pick a bowl based on preferred toppings.
The inari selection features gomoku inari loaded with seasoned vegetable mix as well as bite-sized sesame koinari. Regular customer reviews also note variations like wasabi and seasonal gomoku flavors. The counter operates exclusively for takeout, and credit card payments are accepted.
