"A Brooklyn izakaya that integrates the borough’s natural-wine sensibility into its sake program, emphasizing low-intervention methods such as kimoto and yamahai alongside a full spectrum of styles from light and floral to robust. The curated menu is designed for pairing with izakaya dishes and highlights traditionally made bottles that appeal to adventurous drinkers." - Shana Clarke
"In the event that nobody stands up and yells “kanpai” during your meal as would’ve been the case during a meal inside this Japanese spot, you don’t need to fret. The whole point is to get you excited to drink sake, but considering the range of varieties and serving sizes, along with the very knowledgeable staff, you should have plenty of encouragement on your own. Pair it with some very good small plates, like karaage chicken or pork jowl skewers, Thursday through Monday from 5-10pm. Reservations are encouraged and available through their website." - matt tervooren
"A Japanese Greenpoint spot described as a sibling to the Brooklyn brunch institution above, this restaurant continued the Japanese soufflé pancake trend and translated that delicate, photogenic pancake-soufflé language into its own Americana-tinged menu moments." - Bettina Makalintal
"Greenpoint Japanese restaurant Rule of Thirds is teaming up with neighbor Acme Smoked Fish for a limited-run Salmon & Cheese Mazeman featuring camembert cheese and Acme’s new Togarashi Smoked Salmon—and it'll be on the restaurant’s dinner menu for this weekend only. Cheese in ramen is generally a good thing, so why not throw some lox in the mix and see what happens? Make your weekend reservations here." - neha talreja
"If you’re looking for delicious food and a unique experience, this Greenpoint Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar pairs an interesting industrial interior with a cozy outdoor space that feels like a unique fusion of New York sensibility and Japanese decor; with menu items like Yaki Onigiri and Smoked Pork Ribs, you’re sure to leave feeling satisfied with your decision to dine here." - Alexis Benveniste
