The SEA in Ito is a pub and bar located along Usami street, nestled on the first floor of the UMIHOTEL ANNEX. This cozy establishment seems relatively under-the-radar, with limited online presence apart from a brief Google profile. Despite the lack of comprehensive digital listings, it offers an inviting atmosphere for both locals and tourists alike. Patrons often visit to enjoy the unique experience of grilling dried fish at their tables while sampling a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including whiskies, spirits, beers, cocktails, and wine.
A standout offering is the "Fuji Ash Drying" technique used for their dried fish, which isn't commonly found elsewhere. Visitors have commented on enjoying flavorful dishes using this method, noting the highlight as being grilled himono—a type of dried fish. The bar operates during the evenings from 5 PM to 10 PM, except Wednesdays when it is closed. It appears reservations are accepted, which might be advisable for larger groups wanting to explore its specialized menu.
As of the last available reviews a year ago, patrons have praised the food and drink quality, as well as the welcoming service. Limited information is available regarding recent changes or announcements from the owner. Potential customers are encouraged to reach out directly via phone for any specific inquiries, especially considering the establishment’s laidback hours and reservation needs.
