Lead with the motsunabe if you come in a group of two to four. The ฿360-per-person hot pot runs richer and more filling than the skewer rotation, and the miso broth spiked with garlic and chili is what you come for. Order it over the yakitori unless you are pacing for a longer night.
You walk into a 95-seat izakaya that has been running the Tokyo playbook in Bangkok since 2010. The room is non-smoking, split between indoor tables and a terrace that catches Thonglor's evening foot traffic. A large projector on one wall signals the sports-and-sake approach. The sake menu runs extensive.
The menu divides into yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), yakiton (grilled pork), and motsunabe hot pot. The motsunabe is the signature: wagyu beef offal shaped into meatballs and fatty cuts, served in a thick miso broth spiked with garlic and chili. Chives finish the pot as a garnish. The broth goes creamy from the miso and rich from the offal fat. Portions scale for two to four people at ฿360 per person, ordered on a portable gas stove that keeps the broth hot through the meal. The parent chain operates 10 branches across Thailand and has been in Tokyo since 2005, so the kitchen holds to a tested recipe.
Parking goes through Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55 Thong Lo, not street level. If you are driving, budget extra minutes to navigate the mall structure.
Hours run 5 PM to midnight with last order at 11 PM. The terrace works if the heat has dropped; inside seating keeps the air conditioned and steady. Private dining packages are available for groups of four or more. The hot pot is the move here, especially in cooler months.
