For Sake and Dessert Lovers
Thursday, September 29, 2005
Too bad I'm not a drinker because that seems to be the best part of Sakagura. As my friends enjoyed the delicious sake from the blue bottle, I pondered over the so-so food. Although the eggplant 3 miso dish was not bad, I've had better at Taste of Tokyo. The age-tofu (deepfried) was not cooked all the way through. The baked fish smelled fishy(in a bad way), cold spinach with sesame was okay and so was the cubed steak with dikon oroshi. The food was just... okay. For dessert, I had the black sesame creme brulee topped with black sesame ice cream. Friends had coffee jelly w/ice cream, green tea truffles, chocolate souffle, and one ice cream dish that tasted like royal milk tea (this was the unanimous favorite). Yummm!!! I suggest eating somewhere else and stopping by Sakagura afterwards for the great sake selection and fantastic, creative desserts.
Pros: sake, desserts, comfortable ambience
Cons: food, no green tea
