Creative Japanese dishes with fresh, local ingredients & sake
"A neighborhood spot in Park Slope, Wasan is the kind of place that you might feel attached to if you live within a 10-block radius. And the good news is, it’s currently open for both pickup and delivery for lunch and dinner, with beer and sake options as well. You can grab a sushi set for $23 and also get a salad if you forget what vegetables taste like." - hannah albertine
"The fish at Wasan is a cut above the rest, and, considering how big the pieces are, it’s inexplicably well-priced. Our favorite way to eat here is to order one of the $27-$29 sushi or sashimi bento boxes served with rice, a boiled egg, roe, miso eggplant, pickles, shishito peppers, and a salad. You can also order à la carte or go for one of their 30 rolls. The umami futomaki roll makes for an especially indulgent meal of eel, shrimp, egg omelet, and squash rolled up in rice. There isn’t much of a vibe here, so this isn’t the best place to “go out to dinner,” but it’s perfect for when you want a peaceful spot to eat lunch with your AirPods in." - neha talreja

"Casual and sweet, Wasan is the perfect place to unwind with an extensive menu of Japanese favorites, like delicate pickled parsnip and cabbage (both scented with yuzu) and a refreshing bowl of hiyashi chuka (chilled ramen), or indulge in unaju (rice topped with unagi prepared in the kabayaki way, glazed in sweet soy and barbequed) and decadent sirloin steak cooked on a hot stone. Chef Kakusaburo Sakurai and sake sommelier Toshiyuki Koizumi have worked together for almost a decade now, creating dishes specifically meant to be eaten with a healthy serving of sake. The list is usefully sorted by flavor profile, with seasonal specialties like aged sake and homemade offerings like chocolate nigori (unfiltered sake) making an appearance." - Vox Creative
