I was brought by a friend to this Japanese restaurant which is located in a basement of an office building. It was dark inside. The food was delicious and had unique flavor. Especially I liked the grilled cod and lightly seared beef. They were like tapas type of small dishes. Quite pricey given the portion. The seating was tight. The table behind us was a big group with loud talking and laughing. Although the food was good, the whole dining experience was not great.

In summary, Sakagura is a culinary gem in the heart of New York, offering a refined and genuine taste of Japanese cuisine. It stands as a beacon of cultural richness, inviting patrons to savor the essence of Japan in a sophisticated and memorable setting.
The food here was astonishingly good despite most of the menu being devoted to sake selections. The restaurant is barely a sushi restaurant given that most of the choices are cooked dishes. However, the chef’s choice sashimi was outstanding as was everything else we tried. The restaurant itself is very dark and had the speakeasy vibe going. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return the next time we are in New York to try other menu items that we were too full to order the first time.
