栄の中心で手羽先を叫ぶ さかてば — Restaurant in Nagoya

This is really a "WOW" restaurant, a little bit hard to find as it is located in the basement, and not exactly a tourist focused restaurant, but a a very local, young drinking joint.

We went there with my kids and I thought since we sat down, we just tried a couple of dishes and then go to a more family suitable place.

Initially I orders 5 dishes and we were trapped then. As my kids loved the cheese tempura and cheese egg roll, then the chicken wing came and we just couldn't believe it. As most of the comments mentioned, the chicken wing is a must try, crunchy, juicy and well seasoned. Then there was the draft beer , "the Premium Malts" again, but this time, compared with Takayama, much much smoother.

We continued our eating journey and I think we order around 80% of the menu and I think this chef is very very talented, there was no one dish that I would give a bad comment and some dishes are so well fusion and creative such as the Kishumen carbonara.

There were around 30 customers there and only 2 cooks and 2 waiters to serve them all, food was a little slow but for that quality, very bearable. Waiters couldn't speak English (nothing new in Japan) but very friendly and helpful, QR code scan menu with online credit card payment, in both Japanese and English, it would be good it the menu came along with the pictures.

This place was the first restaurant I visited as I wasn't expecting much from Nagoya as there wasn't much of food recommendations beside unagi rice and deep fried chicken wings, but this joint has changed my whole perspective and expectation towards Nagoya.

Some dishes that I recommend u have to order there: chicken wing, cheese tempura, wasabi jellyfish, Kishumen carbonara.

My final bill which initially I expected to be 5000 yen just to sit down for the first 5 dishes to the end almost 20,000 yen for trying almost 80% of the menu with 6 draft...

Marvellous beer food 🍺🍺🍺 Lucky to have a table that I haven't missed the crispy wings. The salty and sauced wings are deep-fried crispy. The egg omelette with mentaiko cheese is cooked perfectly - fluffy and soft.

Taste on the heavier side with lots of salts or sweets. But this is beer food. 🍺

We ordered via QR code website, where I used Google Translate.

Service is prompt and friendly. Overall great place to...

Had a great meal here! I do not know what they did to the chicken wing but it was the crispiest one I ever had in my life! Also tried horse sashimi which was interesting; the ginger and other condiments provided can help mask the taste for those who are more squeamish about...
