//The line

The Infatuation advises readers to book in advance for Sakagura in its Midtown guide, reflecting steady demand for the izakaya's relatively affordable sashimi, udon, soba, and small plates like Japanese fried chicken.

Part of the draw is the hidden-gem entrance itself, per the guide: diners walk through an office building lobby and down a staircase past security, an atmosphere that heightens the appeal of securing a table ahead of time rather than risking a walk-in.
