Description
Chiba-chan is a taishu-sakaba, a large everyday drinking restaurant, on the third floor of a building in the Ameyoko market area about three minutes from JR Ueno Station. Small dishes start at ¥110 and chicken or pork skewers are ¥132 each (tax included), and the restaurant is known for its baka-mori portions, which it describes as three times the normal size, and dai-baka-mori at ten times. There are 180 seats with tables and sunken kotatsu seating, an English menu, and courses with 120 minutes of all-you-can-drink. On Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 5:00 the next morning.
