My son had been wanting to eat mackerel for a while, so we decided to visit a mackerel specialty restaurant that we had heard about. This restaurant was all about mackerel - mackerel everything, mackerel only. It's definitely not for those who don't like mackerel, but for mackerel lovers, it's a must-visit place! When I think of mackerel, I always remember the delicious mackerel rolled in kelp that my mother used to make. It was my favorite dish! Sadly, my mother has grown old and now lives in a medical facility after my father and brother passed away, so I miss her mackerel rolled in kelp even more. The food we tried at the restaurant was delicious, with some dishes reminding me of my mother's cooking. The atmosphere was busy, and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but the prices were reasonable and we enjoyed our meal. I hope they can increase their staff to handle the busy periods better.

I visited for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I had heard about SABAR from my senior colleagues but hadn't been able to go until now. When I arrived around 12:30, about 80% of the seats in the restaurant were already taken. I ordered the miso-stewed fatty mackerel set meal (1,280 yen) for today. I also added the side dishes of fried mackerel salad (300 yen) and mackerel nanban-zuke (300 yen). During lunchtime, there were only two staff members, so sometimes they forgot to bring water, but it was okay to help yourself from the water dispenser. First, the two side dishes arrived. The fried mackerel was juicy and tender with a rich flavor, and the nanban-zuke was tangy and refreshing, both delicious. I actually ordered too many side dishes because I thought they would be smaller. When the miso-stewed fatty mackerel set meal arrived, I was impressed by the size of the mackerel, and it was incredibly tender and delicious. The mackerel was fatty and flavorful, and paired with the rich miso, it went really well with the rice. The generous amount of green onions added was also a nice touch. Next time, I plan to invite a colleague who recently got a D rating for their triglyceride levels in their health check results to come with me, since mackerel is supposed to be rich in DHA and EPA. I want to try the mackerel hitsumabushi set meal next time! I will definitely be back. Thank you for the meal!

After enjoying yakitori at Fukunaga, we decided to visit another place since we were already in Daimon. I have been to other SABAR locations before. Maybe because it was a holiday night, there was only one other group of customers. The restaurant seemed a bit plain. I wonder if it's always like this or if it's more lively on weekdays or weekends. Maybe it was quiet because it was our second stop? Haha, but saba (mackerel) sushi on a stick is delicious, right?

I have visited the Ginza location before and liked it, so I decided to try the Onarimon location. The Ginza location has a strong izakaya vibe, while the Onarimon location feels a bit more stylish and suitable for a date. I chose the 4000 yen course with all-you-can-drink option. The food was a bit lacking in quantity, and the drink menu for the all-you-can-drink option was quite limited. It might be more satisfying to choose dishes a la carte.

-Tatsuta-age set meal for 900 yen. Around 80% full by 12:30. Orders for karaage and Tatsuta-age are popular. The mackerel is marinated in a special soy sauce, coated in flour, and deep-fried. Deep-fried for about 3 minutes. The soy sauce is quite strong and salty, with a hint of garlic. Perhaps the strong flavor is to mask any fishy smell. There is no fishy smell, just a nice mackerel flavor. The contrast between the crispy coating and the soft, melting mackerel is great. It melts more than karaage. -Mackerel karaage salad for 300 yen. The karaage is fried in seasoned karaage powder (batter). No coating. The mackerel itself is not heavily seasoned. Fried for about 3 minutes. Cooked through with residual heat. The coating is smooth and thick, almost film-like. The inner layer is sticky and powdery. It's a plump, round karaage. This one has a stronger mackerel flavor. Probably because there is less seasoning on the mackerel. It has a hint of a wine-like flavor. No soy sauce taste. The coating is crispy, and the flesh is tender. Personally, I prefer the Tatsuta-age as it is crispier and more karaage-like. A bit salty though...

A restaurant that starts with mackerel and ends with mackerel. A must-visit place when you're craving mackerel. Make sure to know your companion's preferences before making a reservation, as it could be a problem if not. If you love mackerel, this is the perfect place for you. My favorite was the sesame mackerel. The air conditioning in the restaurant was a bit chilly, but the food was delicious.

This visit to Daikanyama felt like it had been 7 or 8 years since the last time. This time, I brought a customer who loves mackerel. The sashimi, fried dishes, grilled dishes, simmered dishes, all were incredibly delicious. Rich and with a good amount of fat, it made my mouth happy. It truly felt like a feast of mackerel. I started with beer, but couldn't resist switching to sake halfway through. I ended up drinking too much, but it was so delicious, so it can't be helped. Thank you for the meal.

Sours and highballs were basically watered down without much carbonation. The mackerel was undeniably delicious, but everything else was disappointing. The clientele was mostly salarymen, so it may not be suitable for those looking to relax with good food and drinks.

Shimbashi Station is close, but if you head towards A5 in Daimon, you'll find a mackerel specialty store right nearby. I used to come for lunch, but this time I came with friends for dinner. They offer various cuts of mackerel, as well as marinated mackerel and mackerel tempura with a rich flavor. The salt-grilled mackerel is surprisingly large and delicious, with a good amount of fat. The Mega Toro Saba Yaki (whole fish) is also very large and satisfying. It may be hard to tell from the photo, but it is quite big, so you'll be surprised. Although it is a bit pricey, I highly recommend ordering it when you visit. We also ordered sashimi, and the smoked mackerel was delicious. The appetizers, such as pickled mackerel sushi, were also well presented and tasty. They have a good selection of sake that pairs well with mackerel. When you try it with mackerel, it really enhances the flavor. It was a very satisfying drinking party with an abundance of mackerel dishes.

This is my visit to the restaurant. I have the opportunity to drink in Hamamatsucho a few times a year, and this restaurant is always a top choice. They offer various ways to enjoy mackerel, and you can find delicious mackerel prepared in any style. I tried mackerel kushikatsu for the first time, and all the sauces were delicious. (The assorted platter is a great deal!)

Half of a hot and huge mackerel. The chopsticks look short in comparison. It was cooked just right, with crispy skin and juicy flesh. The meat is thick and incredibly juicy! It is flavorful with a good amount of fat, perfectly seasoned with salt, and the delicious taste of mackerel spreads. There is no unpleasant smell, and no small bones. It is easy to eat and convenient. As a fish restaurant, it is popular among women with a bright and clean interior. Visited at 12:07 on a weekday and it was full, no waiting. The serving is slow due to slow cooking, but the grilled mackerel is recommended. Thank you for the meal.

I had always been curious about Sabar, but had never been there before. Finally, I went there! I had only ever eaten grilled mackerel before, so I was nervous about trying their sushi, but it was so delicious! I even considered getting some to go... The yukhoe was a bit too strong with kimchi, so I couldn't taste the mackerel, but everything else was delicious! I feel like I've eaten a year's worth of mackerel (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

I chose the Half & Half mackerel bowl (¥1,000) and selected grilled mackerel bowl and green onion salt bowl. A slightly larger bowl arrived with two types of mackerel bowls. The portion was not too big. The green onion salt bowl was delicious as it is. The grilled mackerel bowl had a strong mackerel flavor and was perfect when eaten with the broth added. There were many other delicious-looking menu items, so I would like to come back again.

I felt like eating something light and was in the mood for fish, so I decided to visit this place. It was my first time here and as soon as I entered the restaurant, I could smell the aroma of seafood. I personally love the smell of markets, so I was very happy about it. The menu was filled with various dishes made with mackerel. There was an abundance of mackerel dishes, which was quite rare to see. The appetizers included mackerel salad and mackerel sushi, which were a pleasant surprise. For the main course, I ordered a sashimi platter with various types of mackerel. The fatty tuna mackerel literally melted in my mouth and was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the grilled mackerel to finish off the meal. The deep-fried mackerel was also very satisfying and surprisingly, I didn't feel heavy or bloated afterwards. The salt-grilled mackerel was tender and flavorful, with plenty of meat to enjoy. I indulged in the meal without any reservations. Finally, I had mackerel sushi as a perfect ending to the meal. The combination of mackerel and rice was undeniably delicious. I could eat as many pieces as I wanted. Despite wanting a light meal, I ended up eating quite a lot, but it was so delicious that I didn't mind.

I used it for lunch. It's on the 5th floor of a building, so it might be hard to notice if you don't aim for it. My friend who loves mackerel made a reservation for us. There were various types of mackerel sushi, from sashimi to fried mackerel, making it difficult to choose. They also adjusted the amount of rice for the mackerel sushi. If you like mackerel, be sure to try it.

Everything is delicious. In short, all the dishes are delicious. It's amazing, there's a restaurant filled with mackerel like this. I ordered something with a strong flavor, so I couldn't even get to the rice, but next time, I'll definitely make it to the rice. I'll come to the rescue, so to speak, and with that feeling of a departing hero, I left the restaurant after my first visit.

The food was delicious and ordering through a QR code was convenient. Even though they mainly serve mackerel, it's surprisingly not boring! Each dish was larger than expected and I was surprised...I ordered too much...but the prices were reasonable. It was a counter-style restaurant, but the atmosphere was cozy and I left satisfied.

Our restaurant offers a menu that is irresistible for mackerel lovers. I ordered the Mackerel Rice Bowl for 1200 yen, which had both seared and sashimi mackerel, and it was delicious. You can also pour dashi broth and add condiments to make it like a tea-infused dish. I didn't try it this time, but the option to choose a half-and-half bowl set is so appealing that I plan to order it next time.

I visited without a reservation on a Thursday with just 2 people. It seemed like there was a party going on, as the table seats were almost full around 7 pm. Luckily, we got a table. I enjoyed plenty of delicious mackerel. The prices are not too high, but the portions are a bit small. It's good for trying out different dishes. The pirate tempura had an exquisite flavor and was very tasty (no photo). It would be nice to have more variety in desserts.

I have memories of going to the old Ebisu store? It had been a few years since I last visited SABAR! It was cute, delicious, and had great value for money. I could see why they have expanded so much. Everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back in a few years!
