Try Izakaya – If you want to try Japanese, pleeease!!! do not go to Benihana, do not order Tempra, do not believe Teriyaki is the Japanese food. Go to a place like this and order what Japanese are ordering. Yes, I am Japanese from Japan. Don't know what "Izakaya" is? Go and see. It works pretty much similar to a Tapas bar. It is best to go with few people and order many appetizer dishes.

Beutiful Hidden Gem – I love it that this place is located in the basement of non-descriptive office building. Once you passed the harsh fluorescent light in the lobby, and walked downstairs, it's a totally different world. Staff is always courteous and knowledgeable so you don't need to be a sake expert! Food is also EXCELLENT!!! It is best you call ahead and make a reservation.

real experience of Japan – New Yorkers tend to believe all Japanese eat is sushi. Sakagura offers almost no raw fish items, but instead, dishes that Japanese enjoy back home. The enormous selection of sake along with explanation amazed me every time I visit. Words got around - it used to be a hidden treasure of Japanese bar scene. Well, I cannot blame anyone. It is trendy and clean like any Japanese sake bar in Tokyo!

a welcome surprise in midtown – If you want to immerse yourself in sake, this is the place. I love their special tasting nights, which offer the chance to sample excellent, fragrant sakes from dozens of Japanese breweries.
