Suzuden

Sake is the drink of choice at this old-school stand bar occupying the back of a liquor store. 

“It attracts an older neighborhood and after-work crowd, and the while the menu may seem like typical izakaya fare and Suzuden’s main virtue the low prices, the flavors are nevertheless excellent’” says author and manager of Bento.com, Robb Satterwhite.

The sake menu at the bar is selective without being elitist. "The secret though is to pick up a bottle from Suzuden's basement stockrooms, where you'll find one of the best sake selections in the city,” says Satterwhite.
