Sakagura - a brief trip to Japan

Being that this is my last week in the city this summer, I met up with my friend and his girlfriend as he heads of to NYU SoM. I've wanted to try Sakagura for a while so we decided to come here pretty last minute. 

Kamo roast - duck wrapped in scallion with basil sauce

Fluke carpaccio - thin slices of fluke sashimi drizzled in olive oil with plum paste, salmon roe, and shiso leaf

maguro tartar - chopped tuna with with flying fish roe steeped in Yuzu and caviar

tatami iwashi - sardin crackers with a spicy mayo dip

chawanmushi - egg custard with thickened Ponzu sauce

some cute spoons

saikoro steak with grated onion and soy sauce

buta kakuni - stewed diced pork belly

chocolate souffle with raspberry sauce

I liked most of the dishes we ordered. The portions were really small though. I would definitely recommend this place if you are a fan of Japanese food or just want to try something new.
