Sake Bar Satsko

It’s cozy and cute but I wouldn’t say it’s the best food I’ve ever had. The pork buns were smothered in BBQ like sauce and not in a good way. The mushrooms are good but unbelievably few mushrooms. I do believe it’s a good date spot because of how small it is, but food is nothing to write home about.

very intimate space to grab a drink with your friends! super knowledgable staff with a large selection of sake. the decor is extravagant and moody and makes for a perfect atmosphere. it is quite tiny inside

I’ve been holding out on this review for over a year because I’m greedy and want to keep this hidden gem a secret to myself, but this place deserves a review!

First off, it’s a 25 seat joint. You walk in and it feels like the back streets of Tokyo: tiny, dark, chill. Perfect spot to bring a date or an old friend!

There’s a copious amount of sake to choose from and they’re all delicious! If you’re not too well versed with sake, not to worry, all the bartenders here know their stuff. Food is great too, the type of comfort food your Japanese aunt would make if you rolled into her flat late at night after consuming too much sake. But to be fair, it’s real yummy when sober too! Highly reccomend the chicken karaage, Berkshire sausage, gyoza, and spicy tuna onigiri. They go great with a few glasses of sake, or better yet, a sake bomb.

This place is so small and intimate that if you stay long enough, you’ll brush shoulders with some of NYC’s coolest and most eccentric individuals. Highly reccomend visiting this place, and don’t forget to order the karaage!

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.

Such a fun time at a neighborhood gem of a hole-in-the-wall.

Tons of sake to try, all excellent.

Delicious small bites. Love the ambiance and music too.

Perfect for a creative date night!

This place is just a vibe. A whole vibe. Two orders of the Chicken Karaage and Butter mushrooms. I don’t even really like mushrooms like that, but they were delicious. Never been to Japan but I can imagine this is pretty close to it.

Small sake bar.
Has a lot of sake, but alot of them are out of stock as well.
Great place to go enjoy sake in a quiet setting
