A story close to the table
The programme changes with the season. The announced winter 2026 production pairs “34丁目の奇跡” — “Miracle on 34th Street” — with a gala concert in the second half. Guests can follow a musical story before turning their attention to individual vocal performances. The restaurant publishes current productions and dates on its programme page.
The published timetable starts with dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by the performance at 7:15 pm, with an expected finish around 8:30 pm. Last admission is 7 pm. A ¥4,500 cake and soft-drink package also includes the performance, but is not a full dinner. Timetable and packages
A tall dining room and Japanese Western-style cooking
An elongated chandelier of colourful Venetian glass hangs above the tables. Wooden galleries surround the double-height room, and a tall piece of pinkish natural stone glows beside the staircase. White tablecloths, paintings and wooden chairs give the room the feel of a formal drawing room. Antique European porcelain is used for dining, rather than only displayed in cabinets. Interior and tableware
Uminoya serves yōshoku, Western-style cooking developed in Japan, using ingredients from Awaji. The published evening course includes dishes such as sea bream and shrimp steamed with white wine, and roast Awaji beef with demi-glace sauce. The menu changes seasonally. The restaurant overlooks the Seto Inland Sea; when requesting a table, consider whether your priority is the window view or being close to the performance. Restaurant and food · Course menu
Live music also accompanies ordinary opening days, with timings adjusted around meal service. The full musical evening is a separate booking. You can request a seat suitable for watching, although requests are not guaranteed. There is no formal dress code, and children are welcome. Restaurant FAQ
