Izakaya NoMad

Where to Drink Sake (and Pair It With Delicious Food) in NYC | Eater

"Izakayas are the gastropubs of Japan, and Izakaya NoMad marries the best of both worlds with a sleek, inviting space and classic Japanese dishes done with a New York touch. There’s a wide selection of yakitori to start the meal — including notables like smelt and gingko nut — before the table digs into shareable dishes of beef tataki (seared beef dressed in yuzu), grilled hamachi, pumpkin tempura, and colorfully named sushi rolls like “Godzilla” (softshell crab, avocado, salmon). Izakaya NoMad doesn’t shy away from sake bombs, but also offers enough top-tier bottles that serious sake drinkers take its list seriously — try their unpasteurized Hananomai or the supple Born Gold, and make sure to stay into the evening (after 10 p.m.) for late-night ramen." - Vox Creative
