Tokyo Record Bar | NYC’s Vinyl-Spinning Izakaya 🎶🍶

Where 7-course omakase meets DJ-curated vinyl, this West Village hideout is the late-night izakaya of dreams. Here’s the unfiltered lowdown: 🎵 Course-by-Course Grooves 1️⃣ Mackerel Sashimi + crunchy potato = texture whiplash. 2️⃣ Fried Nori + peanut-cashew sauce = umami bomb. 4️⃣ Truffle Gnocchi = carb-loaded bliss. 7️⃣ Chocolate Rice Krispies + caramel = grown-up Cocoa Puffs. Hot Take: That "wait, is this actually Japanese?" creativity? Brave. 🍶 Sake Warning 🚫 Pairing Set ($85) = 4 forgettable bottles (last one tastes like mushroom tea 🤢). ✅ Order à la carte—bartender’s yuzu-shiso gin slaps. 💿 Pro Tips ✅ Book DOWNSTAIRS (upstairs = basic bites). ✅ Bar seats = chef’s table vibes (he’s hilarious). ⚠️ 10 PM slots = moody lighting + zero tourists.
