Nice place for Japanese meals.
This is another lunch place that I prefer. The restaurant serves izakaya-style dishes that are simple but well prepared. The restaurant also provides an excitement for being like a speakeasy. Quite unique.

I really enjoy this basement Japanese restaurant. It is always busy and the food is really fresh. Raw fish is really fresh and cooked food also exquisite. An amazing selection of sakes as well. A fun place to go. It is definitely not your typical Japanese restaurant with the usual offerings.

Great experience. Great sake list. Inventive Japanese. Presentation on the dish - excellent. Taste - excellent. Ate at the long bar for dinner. Service was attentive. Chef came out to talk to customers. Take the stairs or the elevator to the basement. You need to look for the sign on the door of the building or you will walk past. Prices reasonable for NY. Decor matches the restaurant.

Fried oysters ($23 for 5) were wonderful.Hamachi ($24 for 4 pieces) very tasty as were the Hotake Crudo ($18 for 4). The Uni ($11/piece)was also great. Stone grilled Wagyu ($52) which you cook yourself was great too with the dipping sauce & side spices. The panacotta (14) was quite good too. Service was excellent.

Had heard a lot about this basement hidden gem. But in fact Was disappointed in the service. and the food was good but I have had better Japanese food in NYC and in Seattle. One very irritating detail: we arrived fairly early in the evening. And we immediately ordered the special - salmon or tuna collars. No comment from the waiter about availability but after our other dishes arrived I asked about it and was informed that the chef decided that the quality was not adequate. They hadn't already decided that?
Be the first to ReplyExcellent fresh ingredients... Uncomfortable
Food is very high quality. The Trio-Seaweed Salad excellent, the special Hirame Ponzu Sashimi excellent as well but few (4) pieces for the money, the Japanese radish Daikin salad excellent except it had little amount of spicy cod fish roe mayo and had to ask to be redone, vegetable cold udon very good - nothing extraordinary, the fried Ebishinjo Shrimp balls excellent but also nothing Earth shattering. Service excellent. Ambiance - extremely noisy, smokey and overall not a place to relax. Next time I will order beef and pork entrรฉes plus black cod to see if that's their real signature.

The decor is nothing to write home about but great gem for izakaya. All the food is delicate and the ingredients super fresh. The sashimi was excellent and the toro rice with uni even better. The cooked dishes are really good as well with the chawan mushi being a favourite. Lots of premium sake selection. They even presented us with Dessai face masks at the end.

A really great Izakaya. Hidden in the basement of an office building an amazing gem with delicate food and loads of choices of drinks. The marinated maguro was magnificent as was the chawan mushi with snow crab. The fried chicken was also delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Iโve grown up coming to Sakagura, and recently came back for the first time since the start of the pandemic. It was lovely to see that things are back to old times, in full swing. It was very heartwarming when some of the staff remembered us and came up to chat and reminisce about old times. Sakagura is truly a gem in the city, and no other Japanese restaurant Iโve visited has truly measured up. When you step in, itโs like youโve been transported to an oasis (with divine food). We always get the seaweed salad, agedashi tofu and black miso cod. All mouthwatering. I was disappointed to see that my favorite dish (salmon sashimi over rice) was taken off the menu, though the tuna sashimi was quite good as well. Sakagura is a place Iโll never get tired of. I could eat the same dishes again and again and it would be like trying for the first time. That being said, I do look forward to expanding my horizons on their menu.

After reading reviews for Sakagura and a couple of similar sounding places in the same area, I was torn on which to try while in NYC. I ultimately chose Sakagura and it did not disappoint! I booked a Saturday evening on the morning of and so was only able to get bar seats for me and my husband. The seats were fine and our server behind the bar was super attentive. We are not very familiar with the various types of sake, but she was very helpful and explained the various options for flights to sample. We chose 2, one at a time so we could both try each one. As for the food, it was amazing! From the spinach to the fluke sashimi, to the chicken meatballs and braised pork belly and even the shrimp fritters - we enjoyed every bite. The presentation was spot on and more importantly, the flavors were perfect. I was intrigued by the red bean ice cream and was glad I tried that as well. The atmosphere was fun. Go and try it!!

A very respectful staff but a very deceptive restaurant. Food is incredibly expensive for such a small portion. We err cold inside, the atmosphere was a bit gloomy and very posh at the same time.
Sure the food is good but that goes with the price you pay. Itโs not worth it from our point of view. We went out still hungry after having eaten 4 sashimis for me and one small rice bowl with eels and another fish for my husband and it was $115.
It seems to be a very chic Japanese restaurant however far from being the best we had.

A solid spot for Izakaya dining offering a wide range of Japanese beers that are hard to get. Their sushi never lets us down and their most outstanding dishes are grilled octopus and the pork belly.
If youโre like me, love Asian food you might be shocked to learn the struggles these communities are currently facing. Weโve seen almost 3000 anti-Asian incidents this past year and the number keeps rising.
From physical assaults, to verbal harassment to civil rights violations across 47 states in America.
We need to speak up, show our support and raise more awareness.
It's time for us to remember the impact these communities have made in our lives.
All we need to do, is love the Asian community the way we love their food.

Excellent experience in Midtown
I was staying over one night in Midtown in January and, since there was no indoor dining due to the pandemic, I picked up the five-course prix fixe meal. It was fantastic, and, though I wasnโt there with staff to enjoy, it came with gifts and a personalized printed menu with my name on it. Even though I was enjoying this alone in my hotel room, I felt that the care put into my meal and into the service was exceptional. I will definitely make a point to return and dine in in normal times.

I Knew SAKAGURA twelve years ago, More or less. Hidden, like a Perfect Japanese Secret. Every dishes Is better. I appreciate the place at the Same Time to the Food. Nice and very kind attention...please, don't Let to know SAKAGURA in Your schedule
Be the first to ReplyTotally legit Soba...just like being in Tokyo
Really love this place...been a while since Iโve been here but absence strengths love, as they say. This is one of those places that youโd never know was there - Sakagura is in the basement of a relatively anonymous office building on 43rd Street - and Iโd like to think itโs still something of a foodie secret.
I learned that they do take reservations (which never used to be the case...at least for the non-Japanese) so definitely take advantage of this option either for lunch or dinner. Given the location, Sakagura gets very busy for lunch with peak time between 12-1p. We didnโt have reservations but arrived around 12.30 and were seated at the bar right away. Service was attentive, as always.
I had the (cold) soba lunch special (pictured) which came with tofu and sashimi...excellent...this was accompanied by a local sake (also pictured) which I rather enjoyed.
Would not hesitate to recommend Sakagura to anyone wanting to try authentic Japanese food.
Hidden Away in Midtown Manhattan- A Jewel of Japan
Sakagura is an eating experience, a superb saki bar, and a little piece of Japan. We almost did not want to post a review to keep it to ourselves. Four of us went there for dinner. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The saki listing is like a wine list in a very fine French restaurant - voluminous and confusing. Our waiter explained the different levels of saki, gave us samples and then, based on our stated taste preferences recommended a carafe of snow - aged Hakkaisan and one of Urakasume Zen JG. Both were excellent. When you go, if you are not saki aficionados I recommend you ask the waiter to walk you through the saki listings, don't be bashful to ask to sample and then go with what pleases your palate. If you don't like saki, the Hakkaisan Rydeen IPA, a Japanese beer I had never heard of, was very good.I don't believe they serve wine but they do offer Japanese whiskey.
We started with seaweed salad, bonita flakes over rice, and onigiri for appetizers. For our main courses, we had a squid dish (Surumeika Zukeyaki), Salmon Saiko Yaki, a grilled chicken and grilled rockfish. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. We were still hungry and ordered a Udon noodle broth (hot) Agedashi tofu and another fried chicken dish. The desserts looked so tempting, the four of us shared three desserts, one non-traditional- a chocolate souffle, a scoop of green tea ice cream and a scoop of sesame ice cream. Hard to believe but when we left we felt full but not stuffed.
The atmosphere is like a friendly Japanese Inn, the staff is without exception welcoming and our entire dinner experience was absolutely delightful.
Izakaya dining in Midtown East
My wife and I have frequented this restaurant for over 20 years. It pioneered Izakaya dining in Manhattan. Don't head here looking for sushi. Authentic Izakaya cuisine is the theme. This restaurant is hard to find, but if you prevail, well prepared food and a saki selection second to none in New York awaits. Your saki selection will be expertly paired with your meal by the knowledgable servers. Challenge your sense of adventure and I think your will be pleasantly rewarded.

Their menu is very rich and very different than the average Japanese restaurant in NYC. Fish is very fresh, ambiance is amazing; service is great too - as well as their Sake selection
