About Us

Sanbaka was created with a love for Japanese cuisine and culture. Our ideas, cooking, and drinks started in our humble homes and backyards. We all met during our school years and became great friends over time. Our strong friendship created the foundation for us to get together and create something amazing, and that is the Sanbaka Bar.
