Hello! I'm Nakano Nonaka, a Nakano tourism reporter. I share gourmet information specific to Nakano from the perspective of a woman in her 20s on Instagram.

This time, I would like to introduce my favorite restaurant, Robatayaki Izakaya Nakano Seisakusho Manten Annex.

It is a 6-minute walk from the north exit of Nakano Station and is marked by a neon sign. It opened in September 2023 as a sister store of "Sumibiyaki Hormone Manten Nakano Branch."

Before opening, the manager, Mafune, visited various izakayas in Nakano and felt that "there were many places that were difficult to enter unless you were a regular customer." For that reason, he made the izakaya stand out in the Showa Shindo shopping arcade with a pop exterior and an atmosphere that makes it easy for even first-time customers to enter.

If you come to the store, you should definitely order this! "One Cup Shochu"

You can choose your favorite type of shochu by taking it yourself from the refrigerator. If you are unsure of which one to choose, don't worry. According to the store clerk, the trick to choosing is "go with your feeling!" I see, it's also good to choose one with a package you like. It's fun to discover new things!

Because it is a robatayaki restaurant, they will grill the food right in front of you, making the fish and meat even juicier.

Looks and tastes perfect!

I've tried most of the menu items, and here are my recommendations. "Avocado and Mentaiko Mayonnaise" is a hot and melty snack. It has a rich flavor and goes well with alcohol.

"Bacon and egg cutlet with soft-boiled egg" is a masterpiece that seems to be filled with happiness. It is soft-boiled to the perfect degree.

"Seasonal clay pot rice" was smoked mackerel rice at the time of coverage. The oily mackerel was delicious!

The menu changes with the seasons because Mafune wants people to feel the season through his dishes. He thinks up new menu items when the ingredients arrive. Every time I come here I discover something new!

The staff are all cheerful and easy to talk to, so this is recommended for those who want to try drinking alone or want a regular izakaya. Why not become a fan of Nakano Seisakusho too?

Nakano city is located in the western part of Tokyo's 23 wards. It is especially famous for Nakano Broadway, known as the "holy land" of subculture, but it also has many other tourist attractions such as historic shrines and temples and gourmet food. While the area around Nakano Station is undergoing a "once in a century" redevelopment, the town is undergoing change, and the town is bustling with old-fashioned, friendly shopping streets, making Nakano a very diverse city. This diversity is also what makes it a city with a population of about 17,000 people from about 120 countries.
