Upstairs, there is a cafeteria style restaurant (Uminchu Shokudo) that serves excellent seafood dishes including rice bowls with various seafood toppings and seafood soups. The food is simple but delicious and the atmosphere very authentic.
Orders are placed through a ticket machine and then the tickets given to the cooks who prepare the meal. Everything is made fresh. A restaurant favorite is the fried tuna rice bowl. Another unusual but satisfying dish is the squid ink soup, a black colored soup with tender pieces of squid. The seafood kaisendon is a colorful dish with a generous amount of umibudo, tuna, ikura, shrimp, and other fresh sashimi. There are English translations of the items on the menu as well as in the store in general. The more popular dishes can be purchased on the first floor to go. Tempura can also be ordered to go or taken upstairs to eat in the cafeteria with the other dishes. Prices are very reasonable with no dish costing more than 2000 yen.
