The Yanase area just north of Ueno station is filled with small shops and is a great area to walk around and graze on food. Suzuki is famous for their menchikatsu, which was featured on a popular food magazine, Dancyu. Menchkatsu are ground meat, mixed with onions, eggs, and breadcrumbs, almost like meatloaf. This is then coated with panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and deep-fried. The outside is crispy and the inside is juicy. Suzuki is along a shotengai, shopping arcade, filled with small vendors making great food.
Suzuki also makes croquettes,kara-age (Japanese boneless fried chicken), and more. In front of the shop are several photos of famous t.v. stars who have come to Suzuki to cover their menchikatsu on t.v. programs.
