Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Teishoku sakaba shokudo

Located about 3 minutes walk from Akebonobashi Station, this set meal bar and restaurant is frequented by various celebrities! It was my first time going there, and it was cheap, and the large servings came out at first, so I was full. Next time I'll try to go at night. Wednesdays and Sundays are apparently closed, and Saturdays seem to be open on a whim. You had to pay by yourself, so it felt different from a normal store!

Since the state of emergency has ended, I stopped by the store I wanted to go to. When I opened the sliding door at 18:00, everyone in the store looked at me suspiciously, and I thought it wasn't open, but I was shown to a table near the entrance. By the way, on the first floor there are communal tables that can seat about 8 people and 2 tables that can seat 4 people. After getting the menu, it was 1000 yen for 2 sake + 2 knobs, 1500 yen for 3 sake + 3 knobs, 2500 yen for 7 sake + 5 knobs, and 2800 yen for all-you-can-drink. I ordered 3 cups for 1500 yen. As for alcohol, you can choose beer, highball, shochu, etc. by yourself! The customer told me how to put it in. The three knobs came out right away, but when the master, who was drinking with us at the shared table, got excited, he suddenly started cooking and distributing them to everyone. In the end, I don't know how many dishes I ate, like the omelet my son made and the spicy pork kimchi. . When I ordered Hokkaido zangi, a cabbage half and a slicer were placed in front of me, and from the time I helped shred the cabbage, I started talking to everyone in the store, and since there wasn't enough alcohol for the dishes that were coming out quickly, I ended up having 7 glasses. I switched to 2500 yen and continued drinking until then. The accounting method is to calculate the consumption tax yourself and put it in the basket next to the stairs, but no one knows if it's correct because everyone is drunk. . I was told by the master that there was a risk of closing due to the state of emergency declaration, but I was able to secure income by opening two bento shops in Hachioji, so I was told that everything would be okay. It's free for students, and some people seem to be moved by the master's unbelievable spirit and share food and drinks with them. When I heard that they had recently renovated the second floor to create a bar and stocked it with 2 million yen worth of alcohol, the bartender on the second floor also joined in, and the four people sitting next to me went to watch it and never came back. . I had the food I couldn't finish packed in a bag as a souvenir, and before I left, I went up to the second floor to see what was going on, and the bar was so cozy that I ended up drinking until after 11:30 pm. I think I heard that the lower shelf is 1000 yen per cup, the middle shelf is 1200 yen, and the upper shelf is over 1300 yen. I don't remember how many drinks I had because I was served only rare and limited edition sake, but I remember that the bill was 4,500 yen per person. By the time I got home, the master went home and drank only with the customers. . I had intended to have a light experience, but I was completely engrossed in the atmosphere and ended up getting hooked, but it turned out to be a fun shop even for first-timers.

Master, thank you for your help on New Year's Eve and the 17th. I love it. I also love cooking. If you come to Tokyo, you'll definitely want to visit! Next time I would like to try the regular set meal. We recommend the omakase course. You'll definitely be full. It was over 4 hours though. I think it may not suit some people. There are many different shops. If it's your first time, you should be fine as long as you do some research on Facebook and make a reservation.
