Amazing sake selection and the authentic food is great for a quick, casual lunch. We recommend the onsen tomago, sakagura special, and black sesame ice cream.
This "hidden in the office basement" restaurant serves an excellent array of sake and spirits, as well as Japanese bites. The buta kakuni (pork belly) and chicken karaage are standout plates.
Great sake selection with very knowledgable workers. They very kindly will help you order the right sake for you. Remember to Swig your drink.
$9 for a large karafe of hot sake is great! Everything here is tasty! The $80-for-2 special is a great deal; you'll come close to that $ anyways.
Decent Daiginjo sake selection.
Gyu-kaku nigori sake bottles during yakiniku fest are the best!
Get the 'squid pasta' -- sounds weird, but its squid cut to look like pasta. Great sake selection, everything I ate here was awesome!
Plum sake.rock shrimp.miso soup.andn any roll with crunch n spicy mayo iss greattt
Sushi, Sake, Codfish
They have a discounted weekend menu and an extensive sake list. Kitchen closes at 10pm
Come here on Thursday & Friday and sit at the Sake Bar. Ask Akaboshi to make recommendations on sake to pair with your meal!
"Secret" side sake bar is a chill happy hour spot for enjoying $5 sake, shochu, or beer while dining on authentic Japanese tapas. Not a cheap place but worth it
They only had one nigori sake when we dined
Sake, omakase with japanese uni... what else should I say! Quality price better than nakazawa!
One of the best sushi restaurants in town. Traditional style sushi without any hint of fusion or modern ingredients, just plain top quality fish expertly prepared. Get the omakase and good cheap sake!
Came here late at night and the ramen was good (and they have extra ramen) along with collectible sake cup (with sake purchase of course)
Miso ramen was good. Takoyaki was very good. No beer. Instead, drink cup sake. You get to keep the cups. Collect them all!
Amazing ramen. And they have awesome sake cups. Collect them all!
Went again with bradys parents. Absolutely loved it. Akamuro again w corn and egg soft boiled. Chicken and pork buns divine. Citrus sake perfect drink. Love love love worth 45min wait
The best ramen is here. I love vegan options they have. And, as usual, excellent sake. Will definitely come back again.
New location in heart of Midtown. Serving lunch and dinner only. Order Pork buns, sesame cucumber,ippudo fries and try their new Kansane broth. They have vegetarian miso ramen and eggplant bun also!
Reasonable price and friendly service for high quality sushi and sake. Sit at the sushi bar upstairs in front of the master chefs!
Wow! Omakase was fantastic - 2nd floor sushi bar. A must stop while in NYC. Amazing sake as well.
By far the freshest sushi i ve had. The salmon carpacio, mother and daughter, box dinner we're all amazing.
Don’t skip the haute sake bombs, with combinations such as yuzu sake paired with Hitachino Nest white ale. Read more.
Servers are excellent - helpful with sake & menu recommendations. The food was great as well - had the lobster avocado salad, wagyu skirt steak, garlic rice, and sashimi - it was all excellent.
Sake, Lobster Avocado salad, wagyu skirt steak. Excellent servers.
Any recommendations on sake?
Very large sake selection. Try the Momokawa Nigori. It's a chilled, silky, smooth, semi sweet sake with hints of coconut, pear, and ginger flavors. Organic, gluten free, and brewed in Oregon.
One of the few wine stores in Manhattan that curates with passion. Great selection, friendly people.
Be careful of the sake. Its priced by the glass!! My $8 sake actually woind up being $60!!! They totally dupe you! Wtf!
Hot sake was a little too hot, I wouldn't recommend.
One of the best kept secrets of NY. Sake, banging pork buns, amazing ramen (haven't had one yet I don't like), and Sapporo on draft! Just no ramen take out :0(
The Kobe beef is excellent, and so is the sake marinated shiitake.
Midtown TAO is adding a dim sum brunch, with carts, stuff lit on fire, dumplings, & its sake bomb plunger. Try the Royal Rickshaw (the on-fire cocktail) and their quirky-shaped dumplings. Read more.
Food is amazing!! Big big wine list and sake list. It's alllll good including the place design and ambiance
Always good sushi, sake good, prices for amount real fair too, just they close so early, but nice private spot Read more.
Awesome joint. Sushi rolls are huge and the saki just keeps coming
Soba noodles, Kani salad, sashimi and an assortment of rolls.........amazing!!!! Best sushi in NYC and best value anywhere!!!!
Try the White Peach Sake Sangria - As good as it sounds. Tastes like peach juice!
The Fuji apple sake sangria is incredible!
The Blue Ocean Punch Bowl is a delightful mix of sake, rum, and 🍍 vodka. Its the Moraine Lake of cocktails.
Sushi, Shasimi & Sake
Fantastic reasonably priced fresh fish here for lunch special around 12$! At dinner it's a bit more, but worth every penny! Try the chefs choice Omakase
Great fish, but I don't understand the music they play here. Madonna and disco don't make for a relaxing dinner. Put on some jazz!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
