Tontori Sakaba

Located just a short walk from Nishi-Nippori Station, this lively tavern on the second floor welcomes you with its red lanterns. The skewers are substantial and satisfying, featuring a well-balanced sauce, while dishes like grilled black cod with Saikyo miso and namerou (a type of fish paste) exceed expectations. Thanks to tablet ordering, service is quick, and the clean, comfortable interior is divided into smoking and non-smoking areas. The cheerful service from the international staff and the wide selection of drinks make it a place you’ll want to visit again and again.
