Shakariki 432 (The Circle Ratchaphruek) Shakariki 432" The Circle Ratchapruek

Shakariki 432 is an izakaya chain from Osaka, where it started as a 30-seat shop in Noda; its first Thai branch opened in Asok in 2012. The Ratchaphruek branch is in room FO1-C on the ground floor of The Circle Ratchaphruek, in the Urban Forest zone. On this side of the river its main selling point is the hour: the Aroimaru listing gives 11:00 to 03:00 Sunday to Thursday and 11:00 to 05:00 on Friday and Saturday, though Wongnai and Grab show earlier closing times.

The menu runs to hundreds of items. Aroimaru names takoyaki, okonomiyaki, kushikatsu, yakitori, kasu udon topped with beef offal, sushi, sashimi and Kuroge wagyu steak. Wongnai members recommend the D-Kaisen chirashi at 369 baht, a six-piece nigiri set at 399 and five yakitori skewers for 269, and reviewers mention grilled yellowtail collar (buri kama) at about 320. One reviewer found the unagi roll too sweet. Aroimaru puts the average at about 500 baht a head; menu prices are plus VAT and service, tea is free and water is charged.

The room is loud, and reviewers treat it as a place to drink with good snacks rather than a quiet dinner. Google shows 4.8 from 820 reviews. Aroimaru lists parking, and The Circle has its own car park.
