A gastronomic expedition steeped in culture and dedicated to the finest details
There’s a strong Japanese tradition of sake bars and izakayas; and Sakagura at One Bonifacio High Street Mall BGC is out to offer the discriminating Filipinos a quality sampling of that experience. Sakagura literally translates to sake bar, while izakaya is an informal eatery where alcohol is paired with small but filling dishes. A favorite of Japanese businessmen for their after work hours; they’re quite distinct from Western bars, in that they’re often seen as family-friendly as well.
Sakagura on the 2nd floor of the One Bonifacio High Street Mall is the new dining concept from the Nikkei Group, and it marries a curated selection of over 50 premium sakes from prestige breweries of Japan, with a more traditional approach to Japanese cuisine for the Nikkei Group. Using the freshest of ingredients that are regularly flown in from Japan, Sakagura promises a gastronomic expedition that’s steeped in culture, and attention to the finest detail.
It’s all about the harmony of sake, sushi, izakaya, and hand rolls - that put together, offers refined indulgence that has to be sampled to be believed. One evening at Sakagura with Carlo Lorenzana, founder of the Nikkei Group, made a believer out of me - as he’s deeply passionate about the authenticity of what Sakagura has to offer. Along with Jackie, his wife, they were the perfect hosts for this eye-opener into their version of izakaya.The Wagyu Aburi is our foretaste of what’s to come.
I’m allergic to alcohol so didn’t get a chance to try the Sakes, but Issa was my official taster and definitely picked up on the different nuances of the premium sakes offered. She was loving the subtle differences and taste profiles, and easily picked her favorites. Plus, confirmed there was no hangover the following morning.For dessert, I had the Matcha Hokkaido Mille Crepe, while Issa selected the Yuzu homemade ice cream.
