Futamata is a bar located in Shinjuku Sanchome. I recommend trying their Hakata Kawakushi (10 sticks for 1958 yen), Kochi Gyoza (495 yen), hearty beef tongue sashimi (1078 yen), motsu karaage (638 yen), fluffy mentaiko omelette (594 yen), and chicken and chunky vegetable stone-grilled ajillo (638 yen). If you're feeling overwhelmed by the numerous drinking spots in the area, this is the place to go! The Kawakushi is delicious and addictive, perfect for when you want to have a lively drinking session.

I used this restaurant for a drinking party. The food and drinks were delicious, and the prices were relatively affordable. The staff were always in a visible position to oversee the whole place, so they came quickly when called. It was clean and easy to make a reservation, so I would like to use it again.

The store was clean and nice! However, it was quite crowded, so I thought it might be a bit cramped for those who want to relax and drink slowly... The food was delicious, so I think it's best to visit on weekdays or when it's not too busy! This time, it was a business dinner so I couldn't eat too much, but I would like to try eating rice and drinking alcohol properly next time! I think it's a good place for friends or colleagues who want to drink and have a lively atmosphere! Also, there were various rice options and they were all delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It was neither good nor bad. I saw "Kochi Gyoza" written on the carpet outside the restaurant, so I wanted to try it, but it wasn't on the menu. There were discrepancies between the menu on Tabelog and the actual menu at the restaurant, with some items missing or named differently. It was confusing.

I feel like it's relatively easy to get in even on Saturday nights. I like the honey cream cheese crackers, eringi butter, and yakitori as usual. I like that they have sour drinks with lots of fruit chunks and also offer a second round of sours. Unfortunately, it seems that they no longer have happy hour until 7:00 PM.

Today, I visited the Sakaba Futamata Shinjuku Sanchome store! The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and the staff were friendly and provided great service. The menu was extensive, with good value for money, and the food was delicious. I definitely want to go back again! It's a great place to use for drinking parties, year-end parties, and New Year's parties.

I looked at the sign at the entrance and decided to go in. It seems like they recently renovated the place, as the inside was very clean. The first floor was busy with a group of people having a mixer, so I was guided to a seat downstairs. There seems to be Wi-Fi available downstairs, but I couldn't connect to it until the end... My carrier signal also didn't reach, so for those who want to use their phones, it might be better to try upstairs. I started by ordering beer, bonjiri, and negima with cheese tsukune. Soon after, a complimentary dish arrived - crackers with soft cheese drizzled with honey. It was quite delicious. However, the honey was sweet, so I decided to save the rest for dessert. Next, the bonjiri and negima arrived. The bonjiri was a flavorful, salty skewer. The negima had sweet leeks, which enhanced the sweetness when eaten with the chicken. After a short wait, the cheese tsukune arrived. It was listed as the most popular item on the menu, and it had a strong-flavored cheese shaved on top. I was surprised as I was expecting a melty cheese, but I actually preferred this version. Orders were primarily placed through a tablet, and I pressed the payment button before settling the bill at the register. Thank you for the meal.

Great value for money and delicious chicken skewers at this restaurant. Initially, I thought it was a place specializing in Hakata chicken skin skewers and Kochi dumplings, but when I actually visited, it seemed like the concept had recently changed to focus on grilled chicken skewers. The menu has also been updated quite a bit. The happy hour deal until 7 pm offering highballs, beers, and lemon sours for ¥199 is amazing, right?! It's impressive that they even have happy hour on Saturdays! The staff were friendly and explained the menu well. I would definitely want to come back to this restaurant. - Honey cream cheese(?) as a complimentary dish - Oyama chicken with green onion skewer (¥199) - Most popular cheese-stuffed tsukune skewer (¥230) with shaved cheese, which is quite unique - Serious eringi mushrooms (¥540) with a lot of filling and satisfying - Spicy salmon tartare (¥590) - Spicy cucumber salad (¥390) with the same spicy seasoning as the tartare? - First love strawberry dessert (¥590) with lots of berries for a dessert-like experience

I went to an izakaya located in the basement of a building near Suehiro-tei in the Yoyogi area of Shinjuku San-chome for an evening drink. Although it was still bright outside, the inside of the restaurant already had a dark nighttime atmosphere. After being left unattended for a while, I was finally shown to my seat and given a touch panel to order from. I started with the signature dish, Kochi Gyoza for 495 yen, and a glass of Hoppy for 308 yen. The Hoppy set was reasonably priced and good. However, what came out first was crackers. I didn't order this, but it turned out to be the appetizer for 429 yen, "Honey on Cream Cheese with Crackers." I would never order something to eat with honey. It was a bit disappointing to have this forced on me when using the touch panel for self-ordering. Despite my complaints, I decided to eat it anyway because it seemed like a waste. The Kochi Gyoza was smaller than I expected, but pleasantly surprising. I also ordered two skewers for 198 yen and vinegar motsu for 418 yen. I'm not sure if they were from Kochi or Fukuoka, but they were perfect for a drinking session. I added another glass of Hoppy for 209 yen and considered having a little more to drink, but I couldn't overlook the anger caused by the unwanted appetizer, so I decided to call it a night. I hope they come up with more appetizers that appeal to drinkers' tastes, and also seriously consider the purpose of using a touch panel for ordering. With these thoughts in mind, I climbed the stairs and left.

I was praised by my friends for choosing a clean restaurant with good value for money, a young clientele, and a comfortable atmosphere. It's a great place for drinking and snacking on various dishes. It's nice to know that there are beginner-friendly options on the street known for its bars.

I'm a high school student in Tokyo!! Today I want to introduce a lunch deal where you can eat all-you-can-eat fried chicken with spicy cod roe for only 900 yen! The restaurant is called Sakaba Futamata, located a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. This lunch deal is super worth it, with unlimited fried chicken and spicy cod roe for 900 yen. You can also have unlimited rice and miso soup, which is amazing! Soft drinks are also available for just one coin. The fried chicken is big and crispy, overflowing with juicy meat. Dip it in mayonnaise for an extra kick! Eating it with the spicy cod roe is a perfect match. The cod roe rice at the end is the best!

I highly recommend this place, so everyone should definitely check it out! TikTok☞high school gourmet Instagram☞highschool_food

Today's lunch was at Futamata-san. I wanted to eat spicy noodles so I decided to visit. I heard somewhere that it is a local dish from Miyazaki, is that true? I went down to the basement floor and entered the restaurant. I was the first customer to arrive. I ordered the spicy noodles that I had in mind (600 yen). While waiting, more and more customers came in, many seemed to be here for the fried chicken rather than the spicy noodles. After a few minutes of waiting, my order arrived. Wow, this is amazing. It even comes with rice and mentaiko! And you can have unlimited rice refills too! The cost performance is excellent, but how does it taste? Delicious! I will definitely be coming back here regularly. To be able to satisfy me this much for only 600 yen, this place is arguably the best in Shinjuku.

Wednesday 8°C sunny. Entered at 17:40, no other customers. Visited with a reservation from my companion, intrigued by the food samples of grilled skewers. Had tried 30 skewers at a famous restaurant on Showa Street in Hakata. Started with a toast with Asahi Dry, enjoyed the Imo Kenpi (potato stick), grilled skewers with a nice char, flavorful small Kochi dumplings, lean horse sashimi (fatty white part sold out), thick pork belly (choice of salt or sauce), spicy namul with wakame and bean sprouts. Ordered a variety of dishes and enjoyed them without taking photos. Ate the delicious skewers in a calm table setting with wood accents. Thank you for the feast, will definitely come back.

Today's lunch was at Sakaba Futamata. It's a place known for its Hakata skewers and Kochi dumplings. I ordered the Kochi dumplings and Karaage set meal, which comes with 14 dumplings for 700 yen, and I added 2 pieces of Karaage for an extra 100 yen. The Kochi dumplings are bite-sized with a crispy skin and a good texture. There's hardly any juice inside due to the gaps in the skin. The Karaage is juicy and generously sized. For 2 pieces at 100 yen, it's a good deal. It also comes with spicy cod roe, making it very cost-effective. It was delicious.

While walking around the notorious Donzoko area, also known as Marugoe area, in Shinjuku Sanchome during lunchtime, I came across a powerful sign. All-you-can-eat fried chicken and mentaiko for only 900 yen including tax. The restaurant was called Futamata. The place had a basement location with 7 four-person tables and had a young male and female staff member each. The place quickly filled up with customers, mostly in their 20s, after I arrived at 1:30 pm. The lunch menu not only offered all-you-can-eat fried chicken but also had a wide variety of dishes. I was particularly intrigued by the shocking offer of 14 Kochi dumplings with 2 pieces of fried chicken for only 700 yen. The potential of this place was truly surprising. You could also get a soft drink for 100 yen. I decided to go for the all-you-can-eat fried chicken for 900 yen. The rice portions were small, but you could get free refills. The miso soup was also free for refills. Despite the all-you-can-eat option for mentaiko, most people didn't seem to be ordering it as the focus was on the fried chicken. The fried chicken plates were quite large and delicious, with a hint of ginger. The first 4 pieces were enough for me, but I decided to get a refill. When I asked for a refill, I got the exact same 4 pieces of freshly fried chicken. The timing for refills might be best when you have about 2 pieces left. The fact that the fried chicken was always freshly fried at this price point was surprising. It may have been a timing issue, but the quality was impressive. If you love fried chicken, this place is a must-visit.

The spicy noodles were not as spicy as they looked and had a good flavor. The fried chicken and dumplings set meals were tasty as well. We ordered lunch sets for two people, but both rice bowls had a small chip about 1-2 centimeters wide. It was a bit surprising. Paper aprons are provided upon request. The air conditioning is located very low, and depending on the table, your eyes and food may dry out. The set meals have little to no vegetables, but at 600 yen each, the cost performance is good.

After returning from the Tori no Ichi market at Hanazono Shrine, I walked around the Shinjuku Sanchome area and was drawn to a shop called "Kochira" that served "Kochi Gyoza" and "Hakata Kawa Kushi". The shop had two floors, with the seating area on the B1 floor. I was informed that by adding 100 yen and registering as a LINE friend, most drinks would be priced at 308 yen. I registered on the spot and applied the discount. The draft beer was Asahi Super Dry, priced at 308 yen including tax, which was quite reasonable. I ordered the Hakata Kawa Kushi (198 yen) and the famous Kochi Gyoza (495 yen) as my first dishes. The appetizer (429 yen) included sweet potato chips. The Hakata Kawa Kushi was unexpectedly salty, with a taste more similar to salted chicken skin than the expected sauce-marinated Hakata chicken skin. The famous Kochi Gyoza had a thin skin, similar to a wonton, with plenty of vegetables, more like a Kanto-style gyoza. The Yamaimo Torotoro Yaki (528 yen) was smaller in size and had a slightly stronger soy sauce flavor than expected. The recommended Gokai! Aburi Gyutan Sashi (1078 yen) had thicker slices than the menu photo suggested, with a slightly tough texture due to being cooked too much. The menu was limited, and the overall taste was on the saltier side, more suitable for those who enjoy drinking beer. Thank you for the meal.

The attitude of the staff was so bad that it's laughable. I was strolling around looking for somewhere to have lunch when I came across a sign on the street and decided to go in. They had all-you-can-eat fried chicken and mentaiko, which was a pretty good deal. It was around 2 pm on a weekday. Despite trying to avoid the lunch rush, almost every table in the restaurant had dirty dishes left on them. There were about 10 tables in the place. A male staff member came over and rudely showed us to our seats. He took our order without saying much, and when he did speak, it was with an attitude. I couldn't focus on my meal because I was so bothered by his behavior. The fried chicken that came out was delicious, freshly fried. The female staff member was kind, but I wouldn't want to go back when the male staff member is working. I have to give a negative review for the terrible attitude of the staff. 🤦‍♂️

Kochi Gyoza? It's a mini-sized gyoza with 14 pieces! The filling is light, the skin is thin, and you can keep eating them. The karaage is all-you-can-eat, and if you order more, you'll always get freshly fried ones. It's impossible not to keep eating rice, and you might end up eating too much and feeling sleepy. It's best to go on a day with less work in the afternoon.

Platto, today's lunch was a stroll around Shinjuku and Shinjuku Sanchome. Exiting the JR Shinjuku Station East ticket gate, I walked towards Shinjuku Street... Walking towards Yotsuya on Shinjuku Street, I turned left at the traffic light on the east side of Shinjuku Sanchome, and a little past the first crossroads underground, I visited the "Hakata Kawakushi, Kochi Gyoza Sakaba Futamata Shinjuku Sanchome Store" today. I entered the store on the basement floor at 12:50 on a weekday. Upon entering the store, the right side was the seating area, and the left side was the kitchen. I was guided to a table seat at the back left of the seating area. As I made my way to the table, I looked around the store and saw two pairs of men and one man dining alone, totaling six people. I sat at the table and checked the menu. The menu included: All-you-can-eat - Karaage, Mentaiko all-you-can-eat for 900 yen Lunch Menu - Pork belly bowl for 700 yen - Oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl) for 700 yen - Negitoro bowl for 800 yen - Karaage set meal for 600 yen - Chicken teriyaki set meal for 600 yen - Motsu miso teppanyaki set meal for 800 yen - Kochi Gyoza, Karaage set meal (7 gyoza) for 600 yen - Kochi Gyoza, Karaage set meal (14 gyoza) for 700 yen - Spicy noodles (with rice) for 600 yen Toppings - 2 pieces of karaage for +100 yen - Bean sprout namul for +100 yen. Looking at the serving status of the previous customers, only two men dining alone were eating, while the remaining four were waiting for their orders. Since the all-you-can-eat option seemed time-consuming, I ordered the "Kochi Gyoza, Karaage set meal (14 gyoza)" which seemed filling. After waiting for 15 minutes, the "Kochi Gyoza, Karaage set meal (14 gyoza)" was served. The set meal included 14 gyoza, 2 pieces of karaage, mentaiko (spicy cod roe), rice, and miso soup. I tried the "Kochi Gyoza." They were small enough to eat in one bite, with a thin skin and a crispy texture, different from both pan-fried and deep-fried gyoza, and delicious. I tried the "Karaage." Since some customers were having the all-you-can-eat option, I received freshly fried karaage. The crispy coating and juicy meat were satisfying. Two pieces were enough for me at that size. I continued to enjoy the Kochi Gyoza and Karaage, and after getting a normal rice refill, I finished my meal. Today, I was satisfied with the pan-fried Kochi Gyoza. Thank you for the meal.
