    Owned by a former sumo wrestler, the restaurant not only serves as a testament to sumo tradition but also as a delightful exploration of diverse Japanese flavors. The heart and soul of Sekitori lie in its signature chanko nabe, a hearty stew crafted from dozens of different ingredients, simmered daily over an extended period. Beyond its sumptuous taste, this hot pot boasts a rich array of vegetables, providing a wholesome and nutritious option that effortlessly addresses any vegetable deficiency in one’s daily diet.

    While chanko-nabe takes the spotlight, Sekitori’s menu extends beyond by featuring a variety of Japanese cuisine staples that have garnered their own share of popularity. Get to order more as they serve about 150 dishes meaning there’s always something new whenever you go back such as karaage and sashimi.

Aomori’s Squid Mentshi, Yamanashi Kofu’s Chicken Motsuni, and Mie’s Chicken Yakiniku are just some of the country’s regional treasures can be found here . Not to be missed is Hakodate’s exclusive Hokke Sashimi, a rare delicacy that transports diners straight to the shores of Hakodate. The restaurant also serves katsudon with thick slices. Its meat (450g/1 serving) is dipped in collagen extract and fruit juices for a day, making it tender and juicy.
