Seal The Deal With The Ebisu Business Lunch At Sakagura

Sakagura at One Bonifacio High Street Mall takes your lunch dining experience up a notch with excellent value and flavor. It's time to fire up the Konro Grill for the Ebisu Business Lunch at Sakagura...

A sake bar and izakaya, Sakagura by The Nikkei Group transforms the usual lunch game with its elegant Ebisu Business Lunch sets. Available every Monday to Thursday from 12:00 nn to 5:00 pm for dine-in, the Ebisu Business Lunch is a solid set with a tasty starter, sumptuous main course, gohan, an indulgent dessert and refreshing beverage in one all-inclusive bundle. With three options to choose from, Sakagura elevates the lunch game with the Grilled Madai Set (P 980) featuring the prized Japanese Red Sea bream, the Tori Katsu Set (P 680) with tori katsu curry and the Kaisendon (P 850) with salmon trout and maguro on sushi rice. Where's lunch? Where else but Sakagura for the Ebisu Business Lunch...

Located at One Bonifacio High Street Mall, Sakagura offers an intimate space for a sumptuous meal with its deep earthy tones of wood and stone to warmly welcome you. At Sakagura, the uniquely Japanese sake culture and culinary tradition comes together transporting you to the maze of alleyways back in Tokyo for tasty bites and soothing libations. Pick a seat by the bar and immerse yourself in a lunchtime experience you'll only find at Sakagura (for more on Sakagura, see my previous posts Setting The Bar: Sips And Bites At Sakagura In One Bonifacio High Street Mall on my first visit from 2023 and JETRO x Sakagura: JETRO PH Presents The Art Of Japanese Liquor, An Elegant Sake Pairing Feast At Sakagura on a tasting collab from 2024). 

The new Ebisu Business Lunch includes a beverage to pair with your set, prepared fresh at the bar...

...and options include the Iced Tea, Matcha Tea, Peach Tea or Berries & Ginger Tea. My pick? The Peach Tea with its lingering fruity sweetness. It's a refreshing start to my Grilled Madai Set (P 980) highlighted by its premium grilled sea bream served on a binchotan fired Konro tabletop grill. 

Like the Tori Katsu Set, the Grilled Madai Set from the new Ebisu Business Lunch at Sakagura includes a bowl of Miso Soup to warm the palate before the main course...

For your first course, the Grilled Madai Set offers Kitsune Udon or Cha Soba. With summer temperatures now reaching the high 40s, the chilled Cha Soba was an easy choice...

Served on a bamboo tray, the Cha Soba is paired with fresh quail egg, radish, ginger and wasabi which you add to your bowl of dipping sauce. 

The richness of the quail egg and flavorful notes of the dipping sauce and radish are complemented by the bold hints of ginger and wasabi for that perfectly balanced finish with the delectably firm and mildly chewy soba noodles. Each tasty bite cools you down from the blistering summer heat while draping the palate with a flavorful burst. 

Then, your main course is served. The slab of tender and flaky Japanese red sea bream on the Konro grill is gently warmed by the fiery binchotan with delicately charred edges delivering deep intense notes. 

The Grilled Madai Set also includes a bowl of gohan, sticky steamed Japanese rice topped with poached egg and a special thick and sweet dipping sauce for the grilled Japanese red sea bream. 

The sweet and moist buttery texture of the Japanese red sea bream releases delicately nuanced, clean and pure uncluttered flavors after each bite kicked up by the special dipping sauce with the poached egg topped gohan making the Grilled Madai Set a complete and satisfying meal. The Japanese sea bream, airflown from Japan every other day is also an exceptional choice for sashimi...

...which you can also try at Sakagura. In its purest raw form, the Japanese sea bream brings elegantly rich flavors teasing the palate. 

That silky texture and fresh briny sweetness of the Japanese sea bream has to be one of many must-try specialties at Sakagura. Served on a Konro tabletop grill, the Grilled Madai Set transforms the delicate flavors of the Japanese sea bream with subtle yet intense notes from the lightly charred edges. 

The Grilled Madai Set from the Ebisu Business Lunch offers both exceptional flavors and value for a lunchtime experience in that cool izakaya style at Sakagura. And just when you thought your last bite of the Japanese sea bream caps your Ebisu Business Lunch...

...a scoop of house-made gelato in Yuzu or Red Bean completes the experience with the picture-perfect sweet ending. From a tasty starter to sumptuous main, dessert and beverage, the Ebisu Business Lunch at Sakagura just seals the deal. 

Lunch doesn't have to be complicated. At Sakagura, you can enjoy exquisite flavors and excellent value with the Ebisu Business Lunch. And that makes a whole lot of sense in any business.
