01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Just off the street fronting Nagaokakyo City Hall, Obanzai Sachi is an unpretentious izakaya known for comforting, satisfying home-style cooking. Diners visiting for a proper meal often turn to the fried chicken (karaage) set, a generous spread featuring crisp pieces of chicken alongside a ham-topped salad, macaroni salad, rice, miso soup, and pickles. The kitchen also turns out a variety of small dishes and Kyoto-style obanzai to sample alongside drinks, making it easy to settle in for an evening over wine, beer, or a generously poured mega-mug highball.
The well-worn dining room is arranged with sunken horigotatsu low tables that seat around 8 in a circle, creating a nostalgic and deeply relaxing setting. The friendly back-and-forth between the master and his mother adds to the easygoing neighborhood charm, drawing a steady flow of patrons ranging from solo diners stopping in after work to couples and groups. Because seats are limited and the room fills up quickly, making a reservation in advance is recommended for dinner.
