What you can expect

  • Immerse yourself in Tokyo’s street-food scene with a 45-minute Takoyaki and Sake Pairing Experience at Donaiya, a shop near Ikebukuro Station. Take a counter seat to watch the chef flip batter and octopus until each ball turns piping hot and melts in your mouth.

    Enjoy a menu of snacks, takoyaki, and sake pairings. Start with edamame and potato salad, a classic Japanese bar favourite. Then, savour takoyaki with sea salt paired with Dassai sake, where the sake’s fruity sweetness lifts the saltiness and deep octopus umami to new heights.

    Next, try takoyaki with sauce and mayo paired with Hakkaisan sake. Hakkaisan’s crisp, high-acidity dryness cuts through the rich, savoury sauce and creamy mayo, creating a perfectly balanced bite. Then, enjoy takoyaki with teritama mayo paired with Kubota sake. Kubota’s umami and subtle aged notes meld beautifully with the sweet teriyaki glaze and creamy egg richness, creating a balanced, indulgent pairing.

    Finally, taste takoyaki with mentaiko mayo paired with Otokoyama sake. Otokoyama’s bold dryness wraps the salty, spicy mentaiko mayo in smooth harmony. Finish with a petite bowl of beef udon in a sweet, dashi-scented broth—the perfect closing bite.
