About this place
Daikon topped with porcini cream sauce is one dish visitors to SanPa remember for its richness. Another diner recalled enjoying oden with well-seasoned daikon under the same sauce, making the signature dish a tempting place to start.
The sauces vary with each oden ingredient. Beef tendon comes with a vegetable, basil and mustard sauce; cabbage rolls with Gorgonzola cream; and potatoes with salmon roe butter sauce. The whole tomato is served with fresh basil sauce. One diner found it refreshingly light, a contrast to the rich daikon. Pairing a richer dish with a lighter choice such as the tomato offers a chance to sample several small plates.
If choosing proves difficult, consider the “French Oden and Wine Light-Drinking Set”, which includes daikon, a choice of egg or satsuma-age, wine and baguette. The wine selection includes Pinot Noir, slightly sweet Auslese, and white or rosé Cava. It suits a light drink alongside oden. Reviews note that individual dishes are on the small side, so ordering several may work for a snack, while noodles are another option for a more substantial meal.
One lunchtime visitor reported pairing uni cream ramen with several oden dishes, showing that a meal here need not revolve around wine in the evening. The restaurant has counter and table seating, and one review describes the atmosphere as casual. It is also presented as suitable for dining alone; starting with the daikon and a drink of your choice could be a simple way to explore the menu.
