KUNIKAGE Unveils a Hidden Gem 'Nakagawa House' in Sangenjaya

In the bustling Sangenjaya district of Tokyo, where charming eateries jostle for attention, KUNIKAGE has become a beloved fixture over the past 13 years. This izakaya has always catered to the refined tastes of its customers, and now it's taking a bold step forward with the launch of 'Nakagawa House' on the second floor of a quieter building. Scheduled to open in April 2026, this establishment promises to be an adult-oriented refuge, perfect for those who want to savor exquisite cuisine in a serene environment.

KUNIKAGE's management, known as Kunikage Co., seeks to fulfill the desires of its patrons who wish for a space away from the vibrant hustle of the street below, where one can leisurely enjoy both meat and sake. While maintaining the welcoming atmosphere and culinary expertise that has made KUNIKAGE a local favorite, 'Nakagawa House' will offer a refined oasis specifically designed for adults.

An Exquisite Culinary Experience

At 'Nakagawa House,' guests can look forward to a thoughtfully curated menu that blends traditional Japanese elements with Western influences, crafted by experienced chefs. Among the standout dishes is the Sake-marinated Salmon Wrapped in Kadaif with Nori Cream Sauce, where the deep flavors of marinated salmon merge beautifully with the crispy texture of kadaif, complemented by a fragrant seaweed cream sauce.

Another highlight is the Roast Beef with Root Vegetable Tomato Stew, perfectly cooked to lock in the natural flavors of the beef, served with a gentle, sweet tomato stew made from carefully selected root vegetables. Each dish is designed to pair wonderfully with both wine and sake, providing a true gastronomic delight for all visitors.

In addition to the culinary offerings, 'Nakagawa House' will also feature a rotating lineup of craft beers, ensuring that every visit can bring something new and exciting for beer enthusiasts.

Makuake Collaboration and Special Offerings

To celebrate its upcoming opening, 'Nakagawa House' is launching a special project on Makuake, where supporters can get an exclusive preview of the new establishment. This limited-time offer includes a unique course featuring the aforementioned signature dishes at an attractive rate, and an enticing welcome offer offering guests their first drinks for just 100 yen each.

As part of the Makuake campaign, 'Nakagawa House' will also be collaborating with the apparel brand 430 (fourthirty), known for its deep-rooted connection to Sangenjaya and its association with international BMX riders. This partnership will bring exclusive limited-edition T-shirts that celebrate the blend of izakaya culture and streetwear style, available only through the Makuake platform.
