I would say this is one of my new favorite places in the city. The drinks were so good, prices are great compared to other bars near by. The owner is so friendly and the drinks were so so good. I will come back to your place. Thank you ?

The owner/operator Akito is a gem of a human and his warm hospitality gives this small, cute bar a fantastic intimate vibe. I always try to stop by when I'm in the neighborhood - this is the type of bar I'd want to be a regular at: simple, welcoming, and convivial.

This bar is unique. My wife and I came back the next night, and the bar tender/owner remembered what we had drank the night before. I will be coming back the next time we are in

Love this place. The owner rules. Service was great, beer was great, and it felt like I was in Japan again. If you’re looking for an intimate and authentic Japanese bar experience in NYC, this is the place to go. Coming back as soon as I can.

Amazing. Great selection, good prices, and most importantly a top tier bartender. Bottle selection based on the best criteria, what he likes to drink. Small, cozy, and the warmest hospitality.

Very tiny intimate bar. If you're looking for a party this place ain't it, but me and 7 friends came in, hung out and talked. Between the intimate atmosphere and the super friendly bartender it was a great night. The drinks were fairly priced and he put so much care and attention into each of our drinks , down to the amount of head on the asahi. Amazing place for a cool chill night with friends

When I think of NYC, I think of this bar, how wonderful, the attention, owner, customers, everything special within this bar, I am Latino, Hispanic, and I had a perfect night. I will be back again!

Cozy and intimate spot with a great, friendly environment thanks to the amazing owner, Akito. He treats all his guests like family and has a great selection of Japanese whiskey, sake, and other drinks. I've brought and made many friends here. Akito remembers his customer's names and is genuinely interested in how they are doing. Highly recommend. One of the greatest hidden gems in NYC.

A cozy hole in the wall. Primarily for Japanese clientele but if you don't mind being a fly on the wall and are able to enjoy a different environment then you'll fit in just fine. The owner is very hospitable and welcoming.

Wasn’t allowed in. Told it was a private party only, but from reading below it seems that’s their way of restricting their clientele. Totally understandable, but definitely not the warm and inviting place I thought it would be.
