A New Era of Izakayas in Shibuya: Sakaba Yamatoshiki
On June 18, 2026, a new izakaya brand,
Sakaba Yamatoshiki, opens in Shibuya, just a five-minute walk from Shibuya Station. Created by LINK STYLE, this house aims to provide a fun dining experience that caters to all age groups, directly contrasting the current trend of specialized eateries. The izakaya features an exciting assortment of high-quality dishes offered at accessible prices, with standout items like the
Chōchin Tsukune (grilled chicken meatballs for ¥299) being the highlight.
Sakaba Yamatoshiki is designed to be the go-to spot for families and friends, enhancing the traditional izakaya model by including diverse and innovative menu items that resonate with younger crowds and older generations alike. Their cuisine combines familiarity and adventurous flavors, ensuring everyone finds something they love.
A Comprehensive Dining Experience
Amid a growing trend where restaurants are becoming more specialized, LINK STYLE aims to redefine the izakaya experience by focusing on a wide-ranging offering rather than narrowing down to a niche. As part of their company philosophy, LINK STYLE insists on creating memorable experiences that prioritize customer satisfaction—captured in their motto, “More than 101% delight for your smile.”
Sakaba Yamatoshiki features a variety of dishes that are both comforting and exploratory. With over 30 unique items, customers can enjoy exquisite bites like the
Torotaku Ohagi (a delicious rice ball paired with fatty tuna for ¥980) and the
Super Tender Boiled Pork (for ¥299).
Signature Dishes That Stand Out
The restaurant's menu isn't just about filling spaces but crafting an experience. Here are some highlights:
- - Chōchin Tsukune: Grilled meatballs featuring rare egg yolk, rich with juiciness and the smoky taste of charcoal.
- - Torotaku Ohagi: A recommended choice, this offers a delightful mix of fatty tuna and a rich flavor profile that perfectly pairs with drinks.
- - Super Tender Boiled Pork: Slow-cooked to perfection, this dish embodies flavors that melt in your mouth with a homemade yuzu pepper sauce for a refreshing kick.
Moreover, the menu offers a selection of side dishes, including:
- - Cold Tofu with Spicy Green Pepper Soy Sauce (¥290)
- - Homemade Fried Chicken (5 pieces for ¥580)
- - Special White Liver Sashimi (¥780)
- - Shrimp and Pork Hot Pot (¥1,680)
- - Fried Castella Battered (¥480)
Each item is crafted with precision and care, ensuring only the best quality reaches the customer.
Atmosphere and Service
From the thoughtful interior that blends traditional izakaya elements with modern style to the unique open kitchen design, Sakaba Yamatoshiki prioritizes creating a welcoming environment. With seating for 84 guests, including private rooms, it aims to foster both casual hangouts and intimate gatherings.
Furthermore, the staff—trained under LINK STYLE’s established 20 Action Guidelines—are dedicated to providing professional service with a personal touch, creating a dining atmosphere that feels special yet remains approachable and enjoyable.
