Discover Summer Flavors at Shimokitazawa Rokkaku

As the temperatures rise, so do sumptuous culinary offerings at Shimokitazawa Rokkaku, a unique Japanese pub nestled in the bustling area beneath the Shimokitazawa Station. From July 2026, this delightful eatery, operated by 2TAPS Co., Ltd, will unveil a seasonally inspired menu brimming with freshness and bold flavors, perfect for warm summer evenings.

Shimokitazawa Rokkaku prides itself on presenting innovative dishes that feature Japan's bountiful summer harvest. This year's highlight includes the luxurious "Unatama Katsu with Summer Vegetable Sauce," and "Tempura Stuffed with Corn and Squid," both crafted from meticulously selected ingredients that represent the best of the season.

Exquisite Summer Menu Highlights

1. Unatama Katsu with Summer Vegetable Sauce ($16)
This creative dish features a crispy eel cutlet, coated in fine breadcrumbs for a delightful crunch. Topped with a delicately rich sauce created from vibrant summer vegetables, it is hearty yet surprisingly light, offering a unique and satisfying taste that captures the essence of summer.

2. Fresh Octopus with Fruit Tomato Herb Carpaccio ($12)
Perfectly ripe fruit tomatoes paired with fresh octopus create a refreshing dish. Enhanced by a medley of microherbs and a house-made pepper dressing, this carpaccio brings out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes, making it a must-try for fans of light summer dishes.

3. Chilled Tomato Chili Prawns ($9)
A modern twist on a classic, this plate features meticulously prepared chilled tomatoes topped generously with sweet shrimp. The special chili sauce, with its mild heat, binds the ingredients beautifully, making it an ideal complement to summer drinks.

4. Tempura of Corn and Squid ($8)
The squid is marinated to enhance its umami and lightly treated with kombu before being encased in sweet corn tempura. The result is a crispy exterior that gives way to the rich flavors of both the squid and corn, making this dish a standout choice for tempura lovers.
