Great sake list. This place reminds me of a place in Osaka where we ate and drank in a small family owned place that was intimate and boisterous. I'm happy that places like this exist in NYC.
SUPER VIBES! Bit of a long wait but we were 6 ppl so makes sense. Would reccomend getting there before 8pm if you don’t want to wait long it’s deceivingly large inside. Soju cocktails are 10$, but they’re not very strong, you may need 3 before you feel much, but yummy and a good place to meet with friends
If you are looking for a loud underground vibe, this is your place. Amazing selection of sake (10/10), a lot of seating (but very cramped) but very unique atmosphere
