WARAYAKI Sakaba Akuto

A lively izakaya specializing in "warayaki" (straw-grilled cuisine), a traditional cooking method from Kochi Prefecture. At the counter seating, guests can witness towering flames as chefs skillfully sear ingredients over burning straw, creating an exciting live-fire cooking experience.

Warayaki involves enveloping ingredients in high-intensity flames, sealing in umami while imparting a distinct smoky aroma. The signature dish is undoubtedly Katsuo no Tataki (seared bonito), where the fragrant straw-smoked exterior enhances the fresh, rich flavor of the fish.

Beyond bonito, the menu features straw-grilled Hokkaido pork, lamb, and chicken, showcasing the best seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido. The head chef personally selects ingredients from local farmers and fisheries, ensuring the highest quality produce, prepared in a way that only warayaki can achieve.
