About this place
For an evening of yakitori and oden paired with sake, Sakanaya offers the easy-going feel of an izakaya. Choose from grilled skewers, sashimi, oden and other dishes to accompany a drink.
One diner recalled that the skewers were salted just to their liking, and that oden went well with sake. Options include liver, gizzard, heart and chicken wings; a half-assorted platter of 5 skewers costs 680 yen, a useful place to start if you are unsure what to order. The sake list includes Haneuya (Toyama), Dassai (Yamaguchi) and Hakkaisan (Niigata). Add an assorted sashimi platter or oden and sample a few different dishes.
Other diners have praised the sashimi, while one recommends Pinpin-yaki, a dish of yam and egg mixed together while hot. Alongside familiar izakaya fare, it is a chance to try something a little different.
The restaurant is described as suitable for both solo meals and groups, with dine-in service at tables. Meal options include rice balls served with miso soup and zaru soba, so there is something to choose whether you are focusing on drinks and small plates or want to finish with a meal.
