Sakagura
According to Zagat, Suckers for sake swoon over the "hidden jewel" near Grand Central offering a "mind boggling" selection of rice wine "categorized by region", as well as an "understated, quiet" setting reminiscent of a "private club"; those in the know say it's "secret location" (in the basement of an office building) make it better.

"I was so blown-away by the quality and tastiness of the food the first time I was there, that I couldn't wait to go back again.
Everything that we ordered was fresh and delicious. Staff were attentive and efficient. Even though it was busy, the restaurant was not loud and the environment was just right for an evening of good conversation.
I'm looking forward to my next visit there, soon."
