Tsukiji Gindaco Sakaba Coming To Sawtelle Japantown

There’s window paper up on the old Sunmerry Bakery spot at 2129 Sawtelle Blvd. in Sawtelle Japantown.  It appears to show that a new Izakaya-style restaurant, Tsukiji Gindaco Sakaba, is taking up residence.  Also known simply as Gindaco, they have locations in Japan and Gardena and offer what they describe as “Nippon fast food”, perhaps in the form of takoyaki, or fried balls of dough containing octopus.

Sunmerry Bakery Cafe Coming To Sawtelle Japantown

It look like Sawtelle Japantown is getting a new specialty cafe soon…  There’s window paper and a new sign up on the space that used to be the home of gallery Eleven Arts announcing the impending arrival of Sunmerry Bakery Cafe to 2129 Sawtelle.  Sunmerry already has a number of locations in SoCal.  It was founded in 1986 in Taiwan and specializes in Japanese baking techniques for its many varied cakes, cream puffs, and “boba egg tarts”, as well as offering a selection of boba, taro, and tea drinks.
