About this business
From tofu, Saikoro steak and Surume Ika Yaki to the patent sake, you can get it all at Sakagura Restaurant. By now, you would have guessed that the restaurant serves traditional Japanese cuisine and of course, the staple rice-wine sake, without which the authenticity of the eatery would be incomplete. The place is known for being one of the best sake bars in the country, with a selection of over 200 varieties of sake that are imported from Japan. This beautifully decorated cozy joint serves green tea and it also has a fully ... read more

great sake and food – my friends and i went for their wide selection of sakes and fell in love with not only that but also the food. when it came to the service, it was like being back in tokyo. the soft-spoken staffpeople are patient and knowledgeable, explaining each dish (and at times how to eat it) as it was placed in front of us. most of the food comes in smaller portions (asian tapas-style) which is a perfect way to enjoy all of the delicious dishes they have on their menu. this is definitely the kind of place i would ... read more
Wonderful food, great night out! – We love this place and are now regulars. Never have the same sake twice, try the chicken meatballs, blackened cod, and riceballs. If you are more daring, there are a vast number of dishes with squid, octopus, and other creatures with many legs. There is something for everyone here. Even if you don't think you love Japanese, you will find something delicious on their menu. Service varies depending on whose section your seated in, but the atmosphere is unique and soothing, the food is always ... read more
Sake bar - all grown up – Great expectations and was not disappointed; truly one of the city's best secrets. The food was amazing, with the specials menu shining. Excellent service, waiter brought complimentary tastes of different sakes when challenged for something unusual and the food arrived promptly as we finished each set of dishes. This isn't a place to go for a quick bite, but rather a pleasantly paced evening - we spent 2.5 hrs. Dishes are small at ~$10 each, and sake can get expensive.
Slow service! – The food was good, the sake was great, but the service was BAD.... It takes us 2 1/2 hour before we can have our main dish, all the dishes was serve one after another and we were so hungry. It wasn't that busy, its a week night. suggestion, eat some thing before you go or else you will be starving to death.
Sake it to me! – Really a memorable evening! Went as a group of four and split several dishes, each one topped the next! Beautiful evening, great dishes which for me were very experiemental as I'm not very accquainted with true Japanese cuisine, however I sat along some some old pros who found each bite just as inviting! Plus the sake menu is very descriptive and helpful as are the servers! For a couple hours we were convinced we stepped out of New York and into Japan!
Authentic!!! Fantastic!!! – If you are from Japan or have been to Japan you would know what I'm talking about. 5 of the dishes my friend I shared were not Americanized in anyway. More importantly a lot of the diners were either Japanese or Americans who came with their Japanese friends. That says a lot about Sakagura's authenticity. DO NOT skip the desserts! Mark my words. Desserts for 2 is a really good deal. They're desserts are same as the ones from "Cha-an" near St. Marks and that place is really famous for its delish de... read more
Good for when you want something special – Not your average sushi joint. They have specials that you won't find on the menus of most Japanese restaurants. Been there twice, and I've learned to try at least two kinds of sake when I'm there. I definitely recommend getting a hot sake and a cold one. It's hard to find (great way to act like a hot shot on a first date) and the decor is awesome (dark but you can still see everything). Side note: they have one of those futuristic toilets from Japan. Be careful what buttons you pres... read more
Wonderful evening out – Sakagura is an very unusual place. I cannot state with certainty that it is authentic, but it certainly is unlike any other Japanese restaurant in New York. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. The bartenders are very friendly. We asked for help picking out Sake, and the bartender gave us a free tasting. Be careful when deciding on a bottle Sake as some are very expensive. The food is very good, but the portions are tapas-sized. The veal tongue is outstanding as is the cod. The duck, filet mignon, monkfis... read more
a special secret – very unnoticeable entrance, hidden and beautiful decor. small appetizer portions but large variety of appetizer dishes and good special entrees. desserts very good. buying the chocolate truffles came in nice packaging.
