Operated by Daisho Co., Ltd., a prominent player in the Japanese casual dining scene, Manten Sakaba aims to provide a casual yet high-quality experience amid Tokyo's rising living costs. With a focus on keeping prices as low as possible, the restaurant serves an array of tasty dishes, including yakitori and yakiton for just 120 yen per skewer, along with various appetizers starting at 290 yen.

This approach allows for handmade flavors and quick service, making it a perfect spot for everyone — from solo diners to families and after-work socializers.

A Cozy Atmosphere for Everyone

Located at 3-1-14 Kamimeguro, Nakameguro, the new establishment features a comfortable seating capacity of 63, ready to welcome guests year-round.

The restaurant’s signature dish, “motsuni,” or boiled offal, showcases the establishment's approach to cooking. Priced at just 450 yen, this dish is made with a unique white broth that has been refined over 20 years. Slow-cooked to perfection, it offers deep flavors and umami, enhanced further with a special spicy miso for an added kick.
