Six minutes from Exit 12 of Sakaisuji-Hommachi Station, Sumibiyakitori Nakao has drawn repeat visitors for both its grilling, with reviewers singling out its shiragimo raw-liver preparation as a standout, and for the warmth of its owner, whom regulars describe as a defining part of the experience. The restaurant serves five nights a week from 5:00 PM to midnight with last orders at 11:00 PM, closing Wednesdays, Sundays, and the first and third Tuesday of each month. Dinner typically runs ¥6,000 to ¥8,000, a comfortable mid-range price for the quality reviewers describe.
