About this place
After ordering sashimi or tempura, visitors to Nonkiya Mune have found themselves adding one more dish: stir-fried lettuce. One diner ordered it alongside sashimi and fried young ayu, while another singled it out as a memorable dish. For a meal centred on seafood, it offers a different option from raw or fried dishes.
One reported order included ark shell, pike conger, water eggplant and fried young ayu, along with stir-fried lettuce and butter-fried razor clams. The diner also enjoyed bamboo shoots and flatfish. The account suggests a meal that can take in several cravings beyond sashimi and fried food. Another visitor started with the appetiser and ordered pike conger sashimi and a fried version, a scallop and porcini gratin, and grilled tilefish. To finish, they chose rice with raw egg and a small seafood curry. There is plenty to choose from, whether you want to graze on small plates or round things off with rice.
The menu includes sashimi, grilled fish and tempura, as well as whitebait with grated daikon, deep-fried white shrimp, a whitebait rice bowl and rice balls. It lends itself to building a meal one dish at a time, from a light bite to something more substantial.
Drinks include beer, wine and sake, with notes describing the character of individual sake labels. Yamagata Masamune is described as dry with a savoury richness, while Ugo-No-Tsuki is characterised as light and gentle; these details can help guide your choice. Plum wine and yuzu wine can be served with water, soda or hot water. Non-alcoholic beer is also available for those who want to limit their alcohol intake.
Diners seated at the counter have mentioned the inner courtyard, making the setting seem suited to a relaxed meal for a small party. One account describes the small restaurant as full, so it is worth considering a reservation for dinner.
