This Tokyo Pub Toasts All the Monsters Who Battle Ultraman
Kaiju Sakaba is a place to eat, drink and hang out with giant monsters. The Tokyo theme pub pays homage to Alien Baltan and other villains from the science fiction series “Ultraman.” It has a strictly-enforced no heroes allowed policy. Which is completely understandable. This hideaway is the rare place where monsters can chill in peace among their fans after a long day of destruction.
