NANDE・YA

Resting sweet, fragrant grilled eel atop a light, crackling crust, the crispy eel pizza makes for an enticing bite alongside a cold drink. Set on the 1th floor of Aqua City Odaiba, NANDE・YA pairs inventive nibbles like this with an extensive roster of unpretentious teppan grill classics and comforting pub plates.

Among the griddled dishes, the Horiichi sauteed offal in spicy miso stands out. Ordered in sizes ranging from 100 to 300 grams, it delivers generous portions of tender entrails coated in a rich, deeply savoury miso glaze with a sharp kick of red chilli pepper. Sharing across the table is easy, with options extending from piping-hot hand-wrapped steamed shumai dumplings and house-made panko-crusted fresh horse mackerel cutlets to succulent bone-in spare ribs.

The beverage selection keeps pace with draft beer and various highballs, alongside fruit-forward sours with real citrus pulp and several variations on Takohai shochu highballs. Tea highballs brewed with azuki bean tea or green tea are also well represented, making it easy to raise large-format steins with good company.

Inside, sunken tatami seating allows guests to stretch out comfortably, offering families and larger parties an unhurried corner to unwind without worrying about surrounding tables. With late-night hours stretching until 4:00 the following morning on Fridays and Saturdays, it serves as a dependable Odaiba destination for settling in well past midnight.
