I had a drinking party with my club members from my school days. It was my friend's choice, not mine. By the way, I was in the swimming club. It's a 2-minute walk from Kintetsu Yamato-Saidaiji Station, so it's close to the station. It's on the 2nd floor of a multi-tenant building. The entrance is hard to find, but if you follow the signs nearby, you'll arrive. I won't tell anyone that I was confused by the address I received from the organizer, "2nd floor of Sanwa Sakaemachi Building," and ended up wandering around the 2nd floor of Sanwa City. Maybe it was because it was the end-of-year party season, but it was a mess. But now that I look back at the pictures, I realize that it was designed with fashion in mind. Although small, there was a wine cellar, and I think there was a chandelier. However, perhaps by chance, 80% of the customers that day were men, giving it the atmosphere of a popular Izakaya (Japanese-style bar). My group was also made up of men, so it was perfect. ←The school had a high male ratio. As you would expect from "Teppan Sakaba," there was a hotplate at each seat. The menu included Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) dishes, hotplate dishes, and flour-based dishes such as Okonomiyaki. There were 80 a la carte dishes and over 100 types of drinks. The drinks ranged from sake, cocktails, and non-alcoholic cocktails to meet a wide range of needs. The food was well-presented, probably because of the concept of "coolness." Here is a list of some of the dishes we ordered at the Teppan Sakaba Banquet. I can't quite remember the names and prices, so just for reference. ◆Seared Japanese black beef carpaccio 800 yen ◆Kaku mega highball 600 yen ◆Stir-fried beef tendon with green onion and salt 720 yen ◆Shrimp and avocado with mayonnaise 850 yen ◆Stir-fried beef tendon with spicy miso 720 yen ◆Grilled tomato with mozzarella cheese 580 yen ◆Tonpeiyaki 480 yen ◆Teriyaki meatball Hamburg 580 yen ◆ Yakisoba (stir-fried noodles) 750 yen ◆Super spicy spring deer ←I forgot the price Teppan Sakaba My impressions of the banquet food. Food that doesn't get in the way of conversation. It's what you'd call "food at a fancy Izakaya (Japanese-style bar)." It's normally delicious, and the price is reasonable, or maybe it's reasonable if you include the elaborate interior. There's nothing particularly exquisite about the food, but the fact that it doesn't make a big deal out of it makes it better not to get in the way of conversation. I think that's about it. I came here to talk with a friend, so today. In my personal opinion, since there is a hot plate at each table, it would be nice to finish the food right in front of you. It seems like a waste to only have a function of heating. There are many aspects such as labor costs, and this is just the opinion of a food and beverage amateur. When I looked at the Teppan Sakaba Utage website, the concept seems to be "Enjoy food and drinks at a reasonable price in a stylish atmosphere". However, it seems half-baked. I think it is because of the busy end-of-year party season, but there is no sense of relaxation at all. The cost performance is not so good either. Above all, the busyness of the staff was reflected in their attitude and their faces. I was so drunk that I even called out to the staff, "Are you okay, big brother?" Maybe I will see the good points if I go there a few times, but I only come to Yamato Saidaiji about once or twice a year these days... I think it is a well-balanced restaurant if it is not crowded, so I will keep it in mind as one of the banquet places. ↓This review is posted from a blog.
