Nagaya Sakaba

Northern Honshū (Tōhoku)


Rebuilt after a 2017 fire, Nagaya Sakaba is easy to spot due to the massive Namahage demons above the entrance. Sake flows freely once you've negotiated the Japanese-only menu. If in doubt, just shout 'osusume' (recommendation) and staff will happily bring various fish dishes accompanied by the signature pounded rice cake.
