If you'd like to develop your appreciation of sake, here's an enjoyable and economical way to do so: visit Sake Bar Satsko on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. This East Village hangout, decorated in typical bohemian fashion, offers $20 tastings which include a selection of 6 different sakes accompanied by delicious Japanese appetizers. Park yourself on a barstool, or sit down on a shiny red pillow to admire the 4-page sake menu. You can also indulge in something more substantial, like a plate of jumbo shrimp seasoned with black pepper, fried garlic and scallions. (I especially like the the tuna tartare, which features large chunks of raw marinated tuna glistening with sesame oil.)
Satsko is WiFi-enabled and open till 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sake Bar Satsko: 202 East 7th St., (212) 614-0933.

Satsko is indeed a cool place to hang and enjoy some premium sake. My group of 16 were there in July for the nama sake fest...great pricing and awesome food.
