Sakagura, New York










By now, perhaps you have realized I am a big fan of Japanese food. 2nd stop on the NY culinary tour was Sakagura for dinner. 400 types of sake...sign me up. The decor was wonderful..like we had discovered a small sliver of Tokyo in the basement of a non-descript office building. The bathrooms were encased in barrels and they had the required Toto toilet with all the buttons. We ordered a selection of small dishes including their version of chawanmushi with a yuzu sauce, a cold onsen tamago dish and a homely mackerel wrapped onigiri. Ordered as a last dish, it was the very best of an interesting bunch. The food certainly enhanced the sake (or is it vice versa?) yet after a spectacular lunch at Aburiya at 2pm, perhaps it paled a little in comparison.
