On the 1st floor, you can find Shinjuku Saboten, a tonkatsu specialty restaurant operated by Green House Foods, which also manages various other brands such as Katsusai Ebisu, Haouju Saboten, Saboten Bar, Xie Peng Dian, Xi'an Dumpling, Xi'an Healthy Kitchen, Congee Dining, Sichuan Douhua Rice Restaurant, Piatto Giorno, Spanish Dining Rico, Udon Tsurukoshi, Tantochitta, Washun Kai Kanae, Funabashi Ganryokuya, Furo, 55 Lou Nakan, and more. Visiting around 1 pm on weekends, you may find no other customers. The impressive display of a huge case showcasing sample products of bento boxes, with about 20 varieties available, and numerous golden fried items in the showcase. Consider purchasing a tonkatsu sandwich here, such as the Prosperity Fillet Katsu Sandwich priced at 500 yen. This sandwich is recommended for celebrations and special occasions, featuring a fillet katsu sandwich with a festive package symbolizing three blessings of happiness, good fortune, and victory. While the elaborate packaging may give the impression of a good deal, the taste is just average. It's best not to have high expectations for Saboten's fried items.
