About this spot
Step into Akabane Toro Bako for a raucous Izakaya experience where the counter seats offer front-row views of chefs grilling fresh Tai Engawa and charbroiled fatty tuna skewers. The menu shines with signature Live Abura Aburi Yakimono Dancing Grilled seafood, but don't skip the famous new charbroiled mackerel or the simple yet addictive ebi oni shell grilled plates. This Tsukiji-area spot proves that high-quality seafood doesn't require a Michelin star, just a lively atmosphere and perfectly seasoned grills.
