From Google Maps reviews.
Love this little gem. We came right after they opened on a Monday and had the place to ourselves! Susan was great explaining food choices and chatting about sake choices. I love that you can eat small plates that come out quickly and perfect for sake nerds! I would come back all the time for these 2 dishes pictured. Amazing flavor and love the homemade pickles. The squid reminded me of squid jerky i wish i had some right now.
Knowledgeable staff, generous pours, and good food. Has outdoor seating and is luckily a block away from the dense loudness of East Village. You can take your time, enjoy your company, and learn about and enjoy your sake.
Really solid food and a really nice selection of sake. Food does take a bit to arrive, I would not recommend if you are in a rush. The curry rice is filling and flavorful. I'd recommend getting another snack while you wait, the squid and karaage are delicious and are great with sake.
