The original ground-floor Nagaokaya, a Spanish-style izakaya in Ueno's Shitamachi district serving thick charcoal-grilled bone-in lamb chops and made-to-order paella since 2009. The 60-seat space mixes open counter seating with a semi-private area, suited to both solo drop-ins and full-venue buyouts of 20-50+ guests. Birthday plates and takeout are available, and the whole restaurant is non-smoking.
