01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Step past the noren curtain of Sakaba Low on an Otsuka corner, and you are greeted by an intimate space with a warm, relaxed air. Centered around its ground-floor counter, it provides an easygoing environment where solo visitors and pairs of friends can comfortably settle in without fuss.
Seared Daisen Chicken and Thoughtful Cold Starters
The natural starting point is the signature platter of seared Daisen chicken (Daisen-dori tataki mori). Served with condiments and citrusy ponzu, the dish lets diners contrast light, moist breast meat with richly aromatic, flavorful thigh that yields more savor with every chew. A lineup of cold starters matches this attention to detail, featuring inventive options like spinach and asari clam ohitashi, fresh spring rolls with salmon and avocado, and miso-marinated mozzarella cheese that open a drinking session nicely.
From Satisfying Fried Dishes to Butter-Inflected Udon Finishes
Hot dishes are equally well accounted for, with fragrant fried chicken karaage, house-made pork menchi-katsu, and gently cooked dashi-rolled omelets keeping pace with orders of beer, wine, and cocktails. For the meal's conclusion, guests can choose between vongole butter udon finished with house-made anchovy garlic butter, or an intensely savory squid ink udon. Sweets such as an alcoholic affogato-inspired dessert round out the selection, making this a reliable haven for substantial dishes and good drinks well into the evening.
