SakaguraA

211 E 43rd St B1, New York, NY 10017 · Japanese restaurant, Izakaya restaurant · Turtle Bay

Transportive basement izakaya with excellent sashimi and vast sake list; pricey with small plates and occasionally uneven service—great for enthusiasts who know what to order.

Our take

Sakagura exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional sashimi quality and precise knife work paired with a transportive basement setting that rewards discovery. Deep sake expertise elevates the experience for enthusiasts, though uneven service pacing and small portions at premium prices prevent it from reaching the highest tier. A destination for serious sake and seafood lovers willing to navigate modest portions.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely high with modest portions; budget for multiple plates
