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

Perfect For Late Lite Nibbles and Drinks – Went here for the first time last week and had a fabulous time. The portion size / price combo makes it expensive if you're really hungry, but we went for a late dinner. This is perfect place if you basically want to nibble some delicious treats while taking full advantage of the sake options. I will be going back. The tuna tartare was my favorite dish of the night. Oh, and the chocolate souffle was definitely the best dessert (we tried almost all of them).
For Sake and Dessert Lovers – Too bad I'm not a drinker because that seems to be the best part of Sakagura. As my friends enjoyed the delicious sake from the blue bottle, I pondered over the so-so food. Although the eggplant 3 miso dish was not bad, I've had better at Taste of Tokyo. The age-tofu (deepfried) was not cooked all the way through. The baked fish smelled fishy(in a bad way), cold spinach with sesame was okay and so was the cubed steak with dikon oroshi. The food was just... okay. For dessert, I had the black sesa... read more
I love NYC's little secrets – This is truly a hidden secret....I mean so hidden that this place has no outdoor signs. It's actually in a basement level of an office building. So you're probably going "ew" right about now. Oh, you have no idea what you're missing. One of the few AUTHENTIC Japanese spots in New York City, Sakagura boasts tasty Japanese cuisine with *200+* variations of sake. Damn. Be warned, this is the kind of place you run up a bill and you have NO idea how it happened because you're just having too much fun... read more
great little find... – For awhile, this was my favorite restaurant-- I was coming here twice a week (or at least once a week). I've known about this place for about 3 years, and it's now popular (thanks to opentable and the 6/06 new york times review). Sakagura is truly a treasure-- the cooked food is *really* good but the portions are *really* small (note, however, the sashimi is only mediocre to above average). If they happen to have soba on their special menu, definitely get that, as their soba is even better than sobaya.... read more
Amazing!! – Defniitely one of the most amazing Japanese restaurants NYC has to offer. The Izakaya style menu is truly amazing and partners wonderfully with the excellent sake selection. The staff there is very friendly and offers great advice on Sake / food paring, should you have any questions. The price is a little high - but well worth it. I've never needed to make reservation when I go, and was always seated within a reasonable amoutn of time.
delicious but expensive – The food and ambiance here are wonderful. The small dishes were beautifully prepared and presented -- especially good were the yuba dumplings and the shrimp balls wrapped in almonds. Our server was really knowledgable about sake, and guided us to two delicious ones. The one problem is that for three hungry people, ordering lots of little dishes soon mounted up to a lot more than we were expecting to spend, so bring lots of cash or your credit card.
Japanese tapas! – This place is really hidden. The decor is cozy and comfy. Saki heaven I'd like to call this place, a place where u can enjoy the great selection of saki's and enjoy lil tapa dishes to go with your saki. The food is wonderful, japanese style fried chicken, grilled squid, toro to die for and shrimp rolls are just a few great things here. The only downside was the service was slow and our waitress kept forgetting to bring our drinks. Other then that this is a place to visit if you want to have a great time! en... read more
nice! – i live in the area and was totally stoked to discover this place. tucked away in the basement of an office bldg on a street loaded w/ parking garages and car rentals, this is a real find. don't let the stark lobby and shady stairwell discourage you. once you enter you'll find sakagura to be a sanctuary. good food and a wide variety of sake. the sake menu is mostly in japanese, but the friendly & unpretentious staff will help out.
A little bit of Tokyo in Midtown – A friend and I went to Sakagura after a concert, and were blown away by the authentic izakaya atmosphere, tasty food and mind-boggling sake selection. The whole experience -- including the warm, helpful service -- made me feel like I was in Tokyo again. My only regret is that we didn't make reservations -- we waited 10 minutes to be seated, but I've been told the wait is often much longer. It can get pricey, but ordering a bunch of tapas and splitting them up helps reduce the cost a bit.
