Why not try looking for new favorites, such as maniac products that are not often available, products with stories only known to those in the know, and products with many core fans? In addition , we will introduce information on summer outings that you still have time to enjoy, such as a workshop on “making insect specimens” that is perfect for summer vacation independent research, and a coloring event using 500 colored pencils .

When going out with babies and children, families with children will also want to know where the nursing room is, whether strollers are allowed, whether there is a kids’ menu, etc. Therefore , Ecute Ueno has compiled services for customers with children in the “Ueno Ekinaka Children’s Guide.” Please make use of it during your summer outings, walks, and sightseeing.

A new shop, “Kagurazaka 50th”, will open at Ecute Edition Iidabashi on Thursday, August 1, 2024. We hope you will look forward to this shop that will make your daily life even more attractive.

Topic 2. Ecute Ueno “Ueno Station Children’s Guide”

The area around JR Ueno Station is full of popular spots for families with children, including Ueno Park, Ueno Zoo, and many art galleries and museums, which is why it is also known as “Cultural Forest.” However, when going out with children, you may be concerned about where the nursing room is, whether you can bring a stroller, whether there is a kids’ menu, etc. Therefore, Ecute Ueno, a commercial facility within the station, has compiled a list of services for customers with children that we hope you will make use of in the “Ueno Ekinaka Children’s Guide.” Please make use of this information during your summer outings, strolls, and sightseeing.

Topic 3. Information on newly opened shops

On Thursday, August 1st, Ecute Edition Iidabashi “Kagurazaka 50th” will open

Kagurazaka No. 50 [meat buns]

It has been 67 years since the restaurant first opened on Kagurazaka Hondori as a Chinese restaurant. As the restaurant improved its menu to suit the tastes of its loyal customers, Kagurazaka Goban’s large meat buns were born. Now, as a meat bun specialty store, the restaurant continues its traditions and has launched the “Tokyo Meat Bun” as a new “Japanese-Chinese” product. The Ecute Edition Iidabashi store will open as the only place where you can purchase the “Tokyo Meat Bun.”

Business hours: Monday to Sunday 11:00 to 20:00

NEW Ecute Edition Iidabashi Limited

Tokyo Meat Bun Assortment Set 4 pieces, 1 piece each, 1,250 yen

By adding a little extra effort to familiar Japanese ingredients, the new product “Tokyo Nikuman” was born. “Junsei” is wrapped only in meat, a luxurious treat that Kagurazaka Goban is particular about. “Arima” is flavored with miso and eggplant paste and Arima sansho pepper as secret ingredients. “Douhana” combines dried tofu and kenchinni. “Mushroom” is wrapped in sweet and sour dried shiitake mushrooms. This set allows you to easily enjoy four types of nikuman that combine tradition and innovation.
