OMA (Ikejiri-Ohashi)
A modern L-shaped bar that can be enjoyed day, night, and late at night
The shop has two faces, with a U-shaped counter made lavishly from three types of wood, a forest of craft gin and shochu bottles lined up above it, and TANNOY speakers that catch the eye.
During the day, the restaurant serves classic dishes like grilled ginger and fried horse mackerel, and the radio plays from the speakers. At night, the restaurant transforms into an izakaya where you can enjoy creative Japanese cuisine and a wide range of music.
"Meat rolled with sprouts from a calving cow"
This dish is made with beef loin, known for its deep flavor and light fat, and wrapped around radish sprouts. The pungent spiciness of the radish sprouts enhances the sweet taste reminiscent of Kanto-style sukiyaki. It is a flavor that goes particularly well with sake or gin. The vibrant red and green colors are also appetizing. 1,080 yen.
"Seasonal Fruits Wrapped in Mascarpone Cheese and Prosciutto"
The sweetness of the fruit, the creaminess of the mascarpone cheese, and the saltiness of the prosciutto all blend together to make a perfect snack to go with alcohol. The fruit of the day was La France pears. 900 yen.
"Cilantro and lemon fried rice"
Mix beaten eggs into rice to make it like raw egg rice, then quickly stir-fry in a wok and season with a homemade condiment made from coriander, lemon, and ginger marinated in fish sauce. Finish with fish sauce and sesame oil for a fragrant finish. 780 yen.
The interior design and other production work is handled by Sakakibara Yuki, who also runs the coffee shop Drip in Ikejiri and the snack bar Dream in Nakameguro. He put up the sign with head chef Sasaki Koji and other colleagues from his previous job at a restaurant management company.
The food selection is also wide and varied, matching the wide and deep selection of alcoholic beverages, including sake, craft beer, and natural wine. From classic potato salad to fruit-based snacks with a twist, there are also hearty meat dishes and soothing oden. Ohashi Kaikan, a food and culture complex, has also opened, making it a rising star in the town, attracting increasing attention.
Sasaki has been involved in the launch of popular stores such as songbook in Setagaya Daita. 
The speakers that Sakakibara longed for are a classic model made in 1979.
