Agura

A menu featuring vibrant cuts of fresh horse sashimi—including premium marbled cuts, tender loin, and kalbi yukhoe tossed in house sauce—makes a dependable companion for an unhurried night out. Agura in Kami-Shakujii covers the table with diverse options, ranging from hearty meat dishes to easygoing small bites.

Beef steaks seared on the teppan griddle can be seasoned to your liking with grated daikon ponzu, garlic butter soy sauce, or mustard, making them an ideal centerpiece when you want a substantial meal. Sitting around familiar izakaya favorites like freshly fried kushikatsu and skewered tempura platters or homemade oden goes well with a glass of Sapporo Black Label draft beer or a Dewar's barrel-dispensed highball.

The drinks list spans shochu selections such as Kinmiya, Kuro Kirishima, and Nikaido, alongside refreshing frozen lemon sours and wines, offering plenty of ways to match each dish. For the finish, satisfying carbs include soft omelet rice, savory spicy sauce yakisoba, and the signature Nerima spaghetti.

Open until 1:00 late at night and equipped for reservations and group get-togethers, the izakaya fits comfortably into plans ranging from an after-work drink to an extended evening gathering.
