One of the friendly staff Non-san!
Was off Wednesday and got a call for drinks at 2pm! Oh my.... don't really want to start drinking so early so decided on a 4pm start. Randomly passed by 696 Sakaba and noticed their friendly 2-5pm happy hour! Beers only 187 yen!
Everything on the menu other than cocktails and bottles (wine) were eligible for 50% off.
Lots of items but unfortunately there was no English menu in sight.
2nd drink was Hoppy with a shot of shochu.
Pickled Salt Rakkyo root that might be sourced from the store just next door....
Of course always gotta order Braised Pork Belly! Super tender and tasty.
Sliced avocado with shoyu, wasabi and seaweed slices. If you close your eyes this kinda tastes like fatty tuna Otoro! Avocado was just perfect.
Sliced Zha Cai pickles.
Another item that was being sold next door.
There were 5 Ajillo!
Friend ordered the Japanese Long Onion called Negi. 420 yen for this... cost performance seemed very poor. Hmm... my least favorite item this day.
Overall a great deal if you stick to mostly drinks then move to a second location at 5pm when most restaurants start to open. Staff was super friendly so if you need a cool spot to chill why not!
Ekoda once had a thriving old skool shopping avenue but I can only assume many of the elderly owners couldn't continue their shops and started selling the land to developers. So you will see new homes many closed stores in this area. Unfortunate.
