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

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
A personal Fav There are a few places in NY that end up on my constant rotation. This is one! The Sake is great the service good and the food tasty. Best of all it is consistent. You know you are going to have a good time. It is a bit like taking a mini vacation. It is isolated from the outside world and you can forget you are in NYC for a little while.
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.
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
