Sabasu サバス

Tucked along a quiet street in Akasaka, Sabasu turns out wood-fired pies with a blistered sourdough cornicione that delivers an airy, mochi-like chew. Local dough obsessives put this counter right up against Tokyo’s heavyweights, drawn in by slow-fermented crusts made with Japanese flour and untamed toppings. The signature black garlic spread delivers deep umami, while the Spicy Boy packs a clean kick of salami heat. Snag a seat at the intimate open counter to catch the oven action alongside a chilled pour of orange wine, then finish things off with a slice of rich tiramisu.
