About

Restaurant Forestille Seiyoken (レストラン・フォレスティーユ 精養軒) is a Western-style restaurant inside the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan (東京文化会館) in Ueno Park (上野公園), run by Ueno Seiyoken (上野精養軒). Ueno Seiyoken was founded in 1872 (Meiji 5) and is one of the earliest French restaurants in Japan, appearing in works by Soseki Natsume (夏目漱石) and Ogai Mori (森鴎外). Since its founding more than 150 years ago, the restaurant has carried on Western-style cuisine, offering courses and a la carte dishes paired with a carefully chosen wine list - a fitting choice for meals before or after concerts or museum visits.

— Western cuisine in Ueno, since Meiji 5

The parent restaurant, Ueno Seiyoken (上野精養軒), is one of the pioneers of Western cuisine in Japan, founded in 1872 (Meiji 5). It appears in works by Meiji and Taisho-era writers such as Soseki Natsume (夏目漱石) and Ogai Mori (森鴎外), making it a historic name. Its grill room, loved by the Imperial family and nobility since the Meiji period, still serves French cuisine today. Forestille Seiyoken (フォレスティーユ精養軒), part of the Ueno Seiyoken group, sits inside the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan (東京文化会館), offering Western-style set menus and a la carte dishes with a carefully selected wine list. Because of its location, it has long been used by audiences before and after concerts at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, as well as by visitors to the National Museum of Western Art (国立西洋美術館) and the Tokyo National Museum (東京国立博物館).

“Ueno Bunka — Old-Style Napolitan”

A shop on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, right inside Ueno Park from JR Ueno Station. You enter via the spiral staircase or elevator. There are table seats and counter seats. The interior has a calm atmosphere but is close to the station and easy to use casually ✨ [Old-Style Napolitan] A Napolitan packed with ingredients 🍝 Plump, delicious shrimp, sausage, onions, green peppers, and pasta are finished in a tomato sauce with rich pulp — delicious 😋 The generous sauce has acidity that makes you want to add bread to your order ✨
