"Rabbit House Omakase Sake Bar is a cozy Japanese joint in the LES featuring a unique omakase experience with sake pairings. Two of my favorite things. It is a tiny venue with a single chef running the show assisted by one waittress/hostess. I'm impressed that they kept the show running smoothly but for that reason do expect a slower meal ours took ~3 hours). I like the counter seating but there are also a few regular tables making it a nice spot for a date night or an intimate dinner with a friend. For the food, they have an a la carte bar snack menu and an omakase option $80 regular, $120 premium). We opted for the premium option that had menu substitutes including fatty tuna, king salmon, lamb, and wagyu beef. There's also a fun sake pairing $46 for 6 kinds) or you can order sake flights as we did. The dishes were very unique. Our favorite dishes were the edamame tofu, king salmon carpaccio, the lamb and the homemade Orecchiette pasta. Each of these dishes was really interesting and flavorful. We were especially impressed by the texture and complexity of the edamame tofu which paired beautifully with the uni. The only dishes I didn't love included the fatty tuna which had a salty marinade and the wagyu which was chewy and fatty. The rest of the dishes however were spot on! Overall, I really enjoyed the meal. It's certainly a departure from the traditional omakase but is a unique dining experience and worth a stop!"
