Nimosaku is a bright, stylish restaurant opened in 2015 by a second-generation local owner in Tateishi, a neighborhood where people gather to enjoy a drink. This popular spot serves a wide variety of delicious dishes, including its signature oden.
As oden is served piping hot, it is generally associated with the colder months. At Nimosaku, however, the comfortable, air-conditioned dining room makes it possible to savor delicious oden in any season. Each generously sized ingredient soaks up the clear, flavorful broth, making the dish all the more appetizing. The restaurant is committed to using natural ingredients, and its oden contains no chemical seasonings. This gives it a delicate flavor, while the broth is packed with the natural taste of its ingredients.
The addictive Tomato Oden is a standout among the oden offerings. The savory broth and the tomato’s acidity complement each other to create a deeply satisfying dish. The restaurant also takes a natural approach to its drinks, offering an extensive selection that includes junmai sake made with only rice and water, as well as shochu. The natural wines are especially recommended. Their rich flavors pair exceptionally well with the oden broth. Drawn by the stylish combination of broth-infused oden and wine, younger guests and women join longtime Tateishi regulars in filling the restaurant day after day.
