Amami Bar & Restaurant

This izakaya-style restaurant in Greenpoint offers Japanese favorites, including yakitori, sushi and sashimi. Owner Nick Wang puts a focus on quality, and the restaurant sources sustainable fish, free-range meats and produce from organic farms. Amami even makes its soy sauce and wasabi in house. Before you order dinner, make sure to explore their cocktail menu: with a program featuring ingredients like edamame, lychee, ginger and wasabi, their seasonal drinks are inspired by Japanese whiskeys and aged sakes.
