美味ぇ津゛
Roppongi · Izakaya
Umezu is a compact Shinbashi izakaya near the station's Karasumori exit. Weeknights only, U-shape counter seating (13 seats), a three-time Tabelog Hyakumeiten (Top 100 izakaya East Japan) selection. Reservations recommended.
⚠️ Note: Tabelog dinner budget is ¥8,000–¥9,999 with a ¥1,750+ otoshi/service charge; this is a mid-range destination izakaya, not a cheap eat. Reservation strongly recommended due to high demand.

Is this a standing-room bar or do they have seating?
The caption and photos suggest a tight counter setup, typical of Shinbashi izakayas. Expect standing room or a handful of stools.
