Experience a Japanese summer right at our Bondi Junction shop!

What is “Umi no Ie” (or Houses of the Sea)?

“Umi no Ie” are stores which open only during the sea-bathing season.
These stores are filled with elements to make their customers’ experience by the sea memorable such as providing them with delicious meals and places for resting, offering to take care of the luggage, selling swimming rings, or providing the customers with a shower after their fun time on the beach.

A classic scene in dramas and anime

These houses also appear frequently in dramas and anime titles whose settings are in summer.
One cannot forget the house in the TV drama “Beach Boys” where the main protagonists worked part-time, or the delicious-looking curry rice and ramen—the classic menu of “Umi no Ie”—depicted in many summer scenes in various anime titles.

An unimaginable food culture for Australians

Based on its characteristics, “Umi no Ie” finds it challenging to serve fresh raw food under summer’s scorching heat, and in general, only serves delicious dishes for the exhausted customers after all the fun.

It is uncommon to find kiosks opening along the beach in Australia, and it’s almost impossible to find a simply built store where customers can enjoy meals.

Why not give yourselves a chance to experience Japan’s unique “Umi no Ie” right at our Bondi Junction restaurant?

Along with energy, the body also loses a significant volume of salt content after hours of swimming.
One can quickly feel how the flavor permeate throughout the body when indulging in the Shouyu Ramen just before the body runs out of gas.

And the best companion to go with the beer? No doubt it’s Ichi-ban Boshi’s proud homemade Yakisoba.
