New Marco, an adult's hidden gem creative izakaya operated by 2TAPS Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryo Kawachi), which develops unique restaurants primarily in the Setagaya and Sangenjaya areas, will begin offering its "Summer Recommended Menu" featuring luxurious ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship from July 2026.

The new offerings include the "Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe Genovese," which luxuriously layers sea urchin and salmon roe with the umami of basil, pecorino, and pancetta; "Daisen Chicken Fried Chicken with Lime Salt," slowly confited and then finished to a juicy perfection; and "Clam and Aosa Steamed in White Wine with Yamari's Shirasu," paired with shirasu from the renowned "Yamari" brand of Wakayama Prefecture. These are creative à la carte dishes that transcend the boundaries of Japanese and Western cuisine. Enjoy a rich summer night with natural wines and craft beers, delivering a moving culinary experience unique to New Marco.

"New Marco's" July Recommended Menu to Luxuriously Adorn Your Summer Nights

As New Marco's new proposal from July 2026, a lineup of exquisite dishes pursuing summer gastronomy will be available. These are creative dishes that maximize the inherent appeal of the ingredients, approached in New Marco's signature style, which freely blends essences of French, Italian, and Japanese cuisine.

Grilled Octopus with Manganji Pepper and Water Eggplant Salsa ¥2100

Akashi-produced octopus, slowly simmered until tender, is then grilled to a fragrant finish.

Top with a salsa bursting with summer vegetables and sprinkle with aromatic, textured dukkah before enjoying with mashed potatoes.

Daisen Chicken Fried Chicken with Lime Salt (1,700 yen)

Daisen Chicken thigh meat, known for its rich umami, is first slowly confited (a traditional French technique of simmering in low-temperature oil). The meat is rendered incredibly tender and juicy before being crisply fried. Our homemade refreshing lime salt enhances the meat's sweetness, making this an adult-friendly fried chicken that pairs wonderfully with wine.

Clam and Aosa Steamed in White Wine with Yamari's Shirasu (1,800 yen)

A fragrant, oceanic white wine steamed dish featuring large, plump clams, combined with plenty of Mie Prefecture's aosa seaweed in the rich clam broth. The renowned "Yamari's Shirasu" from Wakayama Prefecture is luxuriously added to the exquisite soup, concentrated with the umami of the clams. This deeply flavorful dish is so good you'll want to drink every last drop.

Dark Chocolate Mousse and Lotus Root Chips (900 yen) A playful dish that combines the bittersweet, rich flavor of cacao with the somewhat rustic, earthy aroma and crunchy texture of lotus root chips. With a subtly sweet finish, it can be enjoyed not only as a dessert to conclude your dinner but also as an "appetizer" with natural wine. Mandarin oil and fleur de sel (large-grained salt) add a vibrant aroma and layered sweetness.

New Marco: A Hidden Izakaya for Adults to Enjoy Genreless Gastronomy

Nestled in a back alley of Sangenjaya, New Marco is a casual izakaya for adults where you can enjoy genreless cuisine that fuses reliable Japanese culinary techniques with the food cultures of various countries, including French, Italian, and ethnic, along with carefully selected natural wines and craft beers. In contrast to the somewhat open and lively atmosphere on the first floor, the second floor offers a sophisticated space where you can immerse yourself in exquisite food and drinks in a calm setting. With the theme of "Valuing Individuality," the restaurant provides a sensory experience of the "handcrafted" details in every dish, accompanied by the warm and comfortable service of the staff, making it ideal for a solo stopover, a date, or a meal with close friends.
