Indulge in Summer Delicacies at New Marco

Located in the heart of Setagaya and the vibrant Sangenton area, New Marco, a hidden gem operated by 2TAPS, is set to debut its exclusive summer menu beginning in July 2026. This charming creation bar combines high-quality, luxurious ingredients with meticulous craftsmanship to create memorable dining experiences, perfect for cherished summer nights with loved ones.

The new summer menu features a delightful array of dishes that transcend culinary boundaries. One highlight is the Uni and Ikura Genovese—a rich blend of basil, pecorino, and pancetta, layered with luxurious sea urchin and salmon roe. Another standout is the Daisen Chicken Fried Chicken with Lime Salt, meticulously prepared using traditional French confit techniques, resulting in a juicy and tender chicken, and served with a refreshing house-made lime salt. Finally, for fans of seafood, there’s the Steamed Clam with Blue Seaweed and Shirasa, combining the rich umami of large, succulent clams with premium shirasa from Wakayama, creating a deeply flavorful white wine dish.

A Taste of the Unique

The culinary philosophy of New Marco is truly innovative, weaving elements from French, Italian, and Japanese cuisines into a harmonious blend that highlights the natural beauty of each ingredient. Offering a gourmet experience that caters to diverse palates, the summer menu promises to be nothing short of exceptional.

The Grilled Octopus with Manganji Pepper and Water Eggplant Salsa is another dish not to be missed. This dish features tender octopus from Akashi, slowly steamed to perfection, then grilled and topped with refreshing summer vegetable salsa and dukkah—a perfect mix of flavors and textures.

Dessert lovers will adore the Dark Chocolate Mousse with Lotus Root Chips, where the rich, mildly bitter chocolate contrasts beautifully with the earthy flavors and crunch of the lotus root chips. Finished with a hint of mandarin oil and fleur de sel, this dish serves as a delightful conclusion to a meal or as a unique pairing with natural wines.

A Hidden Culinary Sanctuary

Nestled in a quiet backstreet of Sangenjaya, New Marco is not just a restaurant but a cozy sanctuary where adults can relish genre-less cuisine crafted from skilled culinary techniques and paired with carefully selected natural wines and craft beers. While the first floor boasts an open and vibrant atmosphere, the second floor offers a more tranquil space for patrons to savor their gourmet food and drinks in a relaxed setting.

The motto ‘valuing individuality’ permeates every aspect of the dining experience, making it an ideal place for solo diners or intimate gatherings with friends or partners. The attentive staff fosters a warm and welcoming environment that allows guests to fully appreciate the artistry behind each dish.
