If there’s one thing you should know about NYC dining, it’s this: city natives will rarely turn down sushi, especially when accompanied by sake.
I went to Tokyo last fall and am still romanticizing my trip. When I found out I could replicate Japan-quality sushi and sake without the 14-hour plane ride, I was overjoyed.
Enter Showa Era Izakaya, a Hell’s Kitchen destination not far from Tokyo’s midcentury neighborhood taverns. Behind the sushi bar are veteran Japanese chefs who honed their craft at Nobu Hospitality Group and Michelin-starred kitchens across Japan. Designed around warm cedar wood and soft lantern light, the restaurant pairs traditional Japanese hospitality (omotenashi) with classic comfort food, from 18-hour slow-simmered ramen broths to fresh, hand-pressed nigiri.
We know our Post Readers better than anyone, which is why we’re bringing you an exciting new deal from this Manhattan favorite. The eatery just introduced its new DASSAI Tasting Experience, featuring curated DASSAI sake flights paired with top-tier sushi.
With all the lavish omakase videos that have gone viral on TikTok, it’s easy to get caught up in what the city has to offer. But don’t be fooled: top-quality fish doesn’t necessarily mean a high price tag.
The DASSAI Tasting Menu offers two tasting flights at competitive prices. The first, priced at just $50, includes five pieces of sushi: tuna, toro, salmon, yellowtail and white fish. The second package for $60 includes all of the above, plus premium Hokkaido uni and sea bream pieces. And, of course, sake — because what’s a true Japanese dining experience without the traditional alcoholic beverage?
Even more exciting: New York Post readers will receive an exclusive, complimentary house wine when they mention promo code SHOWA767. Double the sake, double the fun!
If you’re craving some fresh fish and traditional sake (because who isn’t?), check out Showa Era Izakaya’s new DASSAI Tasting Experience. And don’t forget to mention promo code SHOWA767 at the door!
