San Dai Me Tori Mero: A Decade of Excellence

This year marks a significant milestone for San Dai Me Tori Mero, a beloved izakaya brand owned by Watami, as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Beginning June 24, 2026, the restaurant will introduce a grand menu that reflects its journey so far, available at 98 locations nationwide starting July 8, 2026. In gratitude for a decade of support from its patrons, Tori Mero has refreshed its offerings to adapt to the evolving times.

Innovative Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

In line with the rising trend towards healthier choices and a diverse lifestyle, Tori Mero has revitalized its drink lineup to include a selection of original non-alcoholic cocktails. Market research indicates that the non-alcoholic beverage market is projected to grow significantly, estimated at approximately 45.84 million cases in 2024. To cater to both drinkers and non-drinkers alike, Tori Mero aims to create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone can enjoy their dining experience.

Among the new offerings are visually stunning drinks like the 'Goro Goro Non-Alcoholic Cocktail', which is packed with fruits akin to a dessert. For those who prefer lighter options, the 'Zero-Pa Grapefruit Soda' and 'Zero-Pa Organic Ginger Soda' are refreshing choices that pair perfectly with grilled chicken skewers and fried foods.

Expanding the Menu with Unique Dishes

Not only has Tori Mero revamped its drink options, but its food offerings have also expanded. New items include an array of creative skewers made from high-quality ingredients, which enhance the establishment’s reputation as a specialty yakitori restaurant. An exciting addition of soft and crunchy options aims to delight diners, with a new menu section focused on dishes suitable for a wider range of dining occasions, including innovative side dishes.

Among the notable appetizers is the 'Cheese Senbei with Garlic & Pepper', priced at 299 yen (tax included), which pairs beautifully with honey for an adult dessert experience. Additionally, the 'Kikuimo with Special Meat Miso', made from superfood burdock, adds a unique flavor to the menu.

Continuing the Yakitori Tradition

In its ongoing commitment to enhance the yakitori dining experience, Tori Mero is now offering an expanded range of skewers, increasing its lineup from 8 to 11 varieties. This includes unique creations such as 'Miso Marinated Pork Belly Skewers' at 350 yen, 'Spicy Kimchi Wrap Skewers' at 299 yen, and flavorful garlic skewers at 199 yen. Each dish showcases the restaurant’s dedication to quality and flavor, ensuring an unforgettable dining journey.

A New Twist on Traditional Dishes

The introduction of 'Chicken White Soup Dumplings' and 'Spicy Korean Chigae Dumplings' at 599 yen adds depth to the menu. Both offer rich flavors, with the broth soaking into the dumplings for an experience that keeps patrons coming back for more. To enhance the experience, pairing with noodles is highly recommended for a satisfying ending.

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future

Since its inception, Tori Mero has faced various challenges in a rapidly changing lifestyle and economic landscape, yet it remains dedicated to customer satisfaction. Prices for popular items, such as the 'Medium Draft Beer' and 'Highball', will remain at the testimony of their commitment to affordability, alongside a continually evolving drink selection that now boasts over 170 varieties.

As Tori Mero prepares to step into a new chapter in 2026, it remains committed to creating memorable experiences for customers at everyday meals or during celebrations, ensuring that it resonates across generations.
