Not too impressed by the food - seemed overpriced for what it was.

Not only is the food great, but the presentation and atmosphere make this place an excellent spot for both groups and couples.

The menu is expansive and the cocktails are delicious. Recommend wagyu, yakitori platter, sashimi platter

Decades come and go. Satsko endures and there are many reasons why! The cool kids know and the cool kids that are now cool adults know too. Let’s start with the atmosphere. You really can’t get any more downtown New York Village than this. Compact intimate space serving up the finest tuna tataki and chicken karaage. Pair it with a few saki and you’ll quickly realize why you made your way to NY. Japanese owned and operated and a lot less expensive than making your way to Golden Gai in Shinjuku. 100% like, love thumbs up. Do it!

Legitimately smells like a bathroom. A really foul bathroom. Cannot imagine ever wanting to eat sushi from the floor of porta-potty.

It is a really small place but it’s a sake bar .. it’s a small cute bar with red ambience, I believe it’s red coz sake is originated from Japan and Japan has its red circle in the flag which symbolizes Japan.. had a sake bomb which is fun to have and loved it.. the bartender was really helpful in selecting the drinks and make our lives easy for a sake bomb.

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.

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.

Great spot to start or end the night with

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!
