This new menu features creations like the "Unatama Katsu with Summer Vegetable Ankake," a luxurious combination of seasonal corn, summer vegetables, eel, and octopus, and "Corn and Sumi-ika Stuffed Tempura."

Shimokita Rokkaku's July Recommended Menu to Luxuriously Adorn Summer Nights

Shimokita Rokkaku's distinctive approach, combining solid culinary techniques with seasonal Japanese ingredients, presents a lineup of creative Japanese dishes perfect for summer that maximize the inherent appeal of the ingredients.

Unatama Katsu with Summer Vegetable Ankake (1,600 yen)

This is a katsu of eel, made from thick-rolled omelet that is deep-fried and coated with fresh breadcrumbs for a crispy texture. A gentle ankake sauce made with generous amounts of summer vegetables is poured over it, making it filling yet light and refreshing until the last bite.

Mizu-dako and Fruit Tomato Herb Carpaccio (1,200 yen)

A refreshing dish combining juicy fruit tomatoes and fresh octopus. This light carpaccio features the crisp aroma of several types of micro-herbs and a homemade raw pepper dressing that enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.

Chilled Tomato and Shrimp Chili (980 yen)

Carefully prepared chilled tomatoes are generously topped with rich sweet shrimp. A special chili sauce with a moderate level of spiciness ties everything together, creating a new style of chilled shrimp chili that pairs perfectly with drinks.

Corn and Sumi-ika Stuffed Tempura (880 yen)

Sumi-ika (cuttlefish) is aged to enhance its umami and then further treated with kombu (kelp) seasoning. This is mashed with white miso and sandwiched between high-sugar seasonal corn, then deep-fried as tempura. Crispy on the outside, it bursts with the umami of the squid and the sweetness of the corn on the inside.

"Shimokita Rokkaku," a "Sophisticated" Japanese Izakaya for Adults, from Lunch to Dinner

"Shimokita Rokkaku" is located within "Mikan Shimokita," a commercial facility under the railway tracks near Shimokitazawa Station. It is popular with many fans throughout the day, from its hearty and "Instagrammable" Japanese set meals at lunchtime (such as the Grilled Salmon and Ikura Set Meal) to its stylish izakaya offerings in the evening, where patrons can enjoy curated sake and shochu alongside creative Japanese dishes.

In a spacious setting with large windows and terrace seating, the restaurant adds novelty and surprise (originality) tailored to modern lifestyles, while being based on Japan's traditional food culture and the warmth of handmade craftsmanship. The dishes, showcasing carefully selected ingredients and meticulous handwork, are served with warm and comfortable service from the staff.
