Umezu
美味ぇ津゛
Tokyo Core · izakaya
Umezu is a compact Shinbashi izakaya near the station's Karasumori exit. Weeknights only, standing-room atmosphere, honest pricing. A local fixture without pretense.
⚠️ Note: Caption lists ¥8,000 as budget; Places priceLevel is inexpensive—both suggest modest pricing, but verify menu on arrival.
