About this place
On a street corner in Okusawa, Diner Izakaya PELLME combines the hearty fare of an American diner with the relaxed spirit of a Japanese izakaya. The menu ranges across cuisines: enjoy a smoky taco, then reach for a small plate seasoned with Japanese-style dashi. There is room to choose your own way of eating and drinking.
One of the signature dishes is the Pellme Taco Set. Choose fillings such as jerk chicken, pulled pork or smash beef steak, paired with salsa and sauce and wrapped in a corn or flour tortilla. The savoury, spiced meat and the tortilla’s simple toasted aroma go well with beer and tequila, as well as crisp sours.
Alongside the robust diner dishes, there is a generous selection of snacks to go with drinks. Try crunchy chicken cartilage tossed with plum and kelp, potato salad with charcoal-grilled mackerel and a smoky edge, or sukiyaki spring rolls filled with sweet-and-savoury ingredients and fried until crisp. There are plenty of izakaya-style small plates to order a few at a time as the drinks continue.
Weekend lunch options include the Pellme Taco Plate and Jerk Chicken Plate. Choose multigrain or white rice, or swap the rice for tortillas. The restaurant stays open until 1:00, making it an option for a lively group drink in the evening or a quieter final drink at the bar counter.
