01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Pair a drink with chilled tofu or edamame, or order a little more with a croquette or rice ball. Sakaba Zero is an izakaya for relaxed drinking and easy-to-share small plates. Pickles and kimchi are also on the menu, making it a handy choice for a light drink or for finishing a meal with a rice ball. Some diners describe the food as home-style, and the atmosphere is suited to an unpretentious evening.

Drinks include draft Sapporo Black Label, as well as Sapporo Lager, Kirin Classic Lager and Asahi Super Dry. Sours come in lemon, lime, Calpis and Kyoho grape flavours; sake and highballs are available too. Karaoke is part of the offering, and reviews note that the restaurant has counter seating only. This is less a place for a quiet meal than one for enjoying the lively izakaya atmosphere, with singing and conversation alongside the food and drinks.
