Karasu is a Japanese restaurant & cocktail bar in Fort Greene. The restaurant is a seasonal izakaya in spirit. All dishes are meant for sharing and are informed by the idea of washoku, a culinary philosophy that aims for balance across a meal by covering a diversity of flavors, textures and colors among a spread of dishes. Cocktails are reinterpreted classics, served alongside sake, shochu, and Japanese whisky - all chosen to compliment the cuisine.
“The food was soooo good!!! The fluke, the hamachi and the sweet potatoes were all insanely delicious!! The staff was earnest and really nice and helpful and easygoing but still provided good service and filled the drinks to the brim. Would go back in a heart beat.”
“Karasu has twice exceeded our expectations, the food is delicious and the vibe is on point. For drinks highly recommend No Bun Intended. The ribeye is one of the best I’ve ever tried. Shout out to Dante at the bar, he was great and added to the experience. Look forward to coming back!”
“Special little spot behind another nice little brooklyn restaurant. solid japanese food. enjoyed the kabocha, sweet potatoes, wagyu, scallops and nice sake selection. romantic dinner environment to experience some quality eats.”
“Hidden within another restaurant, this speakeasy izakaya offers a thoughtful, seasonal menu crafted by a superstar chef who began his career in Tokyo. Each dish is beautifully and deliciously prepared, complemented perfectly by cocktails mixed by their amazing bartender. The experience of おもてなし(omotenashi; Japanese hospitality) at this spot is so apparent that by the time we left, my two dinner companions had already declared they’d become regulars, eager to bring their clients next time. I cannot wait to be back next time.”
“Really cool space behind the restaurant Walters. Dark, vibey interior which really complimented the food and drinks. Drinks were delicious, creative, and well organized. They had a wide offering of drinks and cocktails which work perfectly with the menu. The food was so very delicious. Prepared perfectly with authentic Japanese flavors. Really enjoyed the Wagyu tartar and the winter bean salad. The unagi don was also outstanding. Perfect for an intimate date, will be back when the occasion calls for it.”
