"Right across the street from Yasuda, Sakagura is hidden underneath an office building, the lobby of which you actually need to enter to get inside. If Yasuda is George Clooney, Sakagura is… Sia. In other words, not similar at all. Sakagura actually isn’t a sushi place at all - it’s really a sake bar/izakaya, but we’re including it here because if you’ve made your way to the East 40s and realized you aren’t quite ready to drop $250 on dinner, Sakagura is going to show you a good time. There are several sashimi platters, as well as raw fish rice bowls and onigiri rice balls that may satisfy a similar craving. Like Sia, it’s fun, hidden, and if you drink enough sake here, you might end up swinging from a chandelier." - hillary reinsberg
