After the coronavirus pandemic, Hamamatsu’s restaurants are starting to get crowded again.
There are many tourists and business travelers from outside the prefecture, and there are more opportunities to see people staying near the station heading to restaurants in town with a carry case in hand.
Today, Hamamatsu/Hamanako Daisuki Net will introduce restaurants where you can casually enjoy eating and drinking in Hamamatsu town.
“Sumibi Bar Mabuchi” is an Italian bar directly managed by a liquor store located in the center of Yurakugai, Sae-machi, Naka-ku, Hamamatsu City.It is a restaurant operated by a liquor store that has been in business for 325 years.
We offer a variety of dishes made in an open space with a charcoal grill and our proud stone oven, as well as a lineup of reasonably priced drinks that are directly managed by a liquor store.
We are particularly focused on wine, offering carefully selected wines at reasonable prices.
There are counter seats, tables, and sofa seats on the 1st and 2nd floors, and we can accommodate large and small banquets.

If you want to have a quick drink, we recommend sitting at the counter! This is a special seat where you can enjoy charcoal grilled food right in front of you.
When we asked the staff member, Mr. Yamazawa, for a recommended menu using local ingredients, he recommended “Raw Seaweed and Whitebait Pizza.”
Neapolitan pizza baked in an authentic stone oven. The flavor of seaweed from Lake Hamana is utilized to create a pizza that can be eaten as a snack.
The chewy texture of the dough is made with great care and effort every day.
Other popular menu items include “Shizuoka-raised roast beef”, “3 types of tapas” with the chef’s recommendations for the day, and “Ajillo (various types)” that go perfectly with the unlimited baguette.
As for drinks, not only beer and sour drinks, but also a wide variety of wines are gaining popularity.
“Our wines are carefully selected by our sommelier and tasted in-house, so please try a variety of wine varieties and wines from various countries!”
He also introduced the all-you-can-drink menu.
From “Sumibi Bar Mabuchi” located in the center of Yurakugai, it is easy to move to other stores.
