food-related things that i'm currently obsessing over whether it be places to try, recipes, or food icons.
I’ve always loved Sachiko’s in the East Village for their sake sampler and snacks so figured it was only natural to try their LES outpost of Sachiko’s on Clinton. While I had no complaints about the service and the sake selection was quite memorable, I could have done without the food.
My friend Kim ordered the pleasantly sweet and tantalizingly cloudy Nigori sake for us to share. I tried the marinated oysters, served poached with a single piece of crispy shallot atop, but it left me yearning for a fountain soda to wash away the rancid sea taste left in my mouth. The sushi rolls were also just as unforgettable as well, but in the mushy, i’m not sure if this has real fish in it, kind of way.
Overall, I would return again but only for drinks and to try the Kushiage. No more rolls or non-fried seafood from here thank you.
