Kasadela: A rare find: A timelessly traditional, aesthetically pleasing, and reasonably priced authentic Japanese kitchen and sake bar discreetly nestled in the heart of Alphabet City, Kasadela is a delectably delicate gem just waiting to be discovered and appreciated. The modest space and contemporary minimalist décor, accompanied by the incomparably hospitable and courteous demeanor of the staff, makes this an equally perfect locale for relaxed socializing, solitude, or romance. The menu features a generous selection of agreeable but not outstanding appetizer-esque fare and a few staple entrées, but feel free to forego the food. Sake is the undisputed house specialty, available in a dizzying array of draft-aged, filtered, fermented, and specially brewed varieties (try the grilled blowfish fin variation for a kick).
