New York Japanese Cuisine 🍣 | Who's Clanking Dishes in the Izakaya?

📍 Sozai Japanese Restaurant 🌊I was drawn in by the crab meat croquettes, and they definitely hit the spot! The mentaiko sauce on top is rich and flavorful, with a smooth texture. The croquettes are crispy on the outside, but when you bite into them, the crab meat paste inside bursts out like a delicious surprise. 🌊 I had a great time eating them, hehe, but be careful not to get burned! 🍟 I also ordered some wasabi octopus, which had a classic taste. The octopus was chewy, and the wasabi had a nice kick, making it perfect for sipping sake. 🦑 For the main course, we had unagi don and beef don. The unagi was delicious—thick, flavorful, and not greasy at all, with a rich sauce. 🌊 But the beef was a bit dry, and when paired with the already slightly dry and hard rice, it just didn't work for me. I won't be ordering that again. 🍱 #NewYorkCuisine #NewYorkIzakaya #NewYorkJapaneseFood #NewYorkJapaneseBar 🎢
