Veteran chefs Kakusaburo Sakurai and Ryota Kitagawa have opened [Wasan](http://wasan-ny.com/?ref=bklyner.com) at 440 Bergen Street (between 5th and Flatbush Avenues). Wasan opened its East Village restaurant in 2010 and is a [Michelin-recommended](/blog/food/highly-touted-japanese-restaurant-wasan-coming-to-bergen-street) Japanese restaurant.

Wasan is know for using locally grown ingredients and excels in pairing sake and wines with your meal, courtesy of sommelier Toshiyuki Koizumi.

The building [has been subject to a lot of turnover in the recent past](/blog/food/highly-touted-japanese-restaurant-wasan-coming-to-bergen-street), but the quality and reputation of Wasan bodes well for having a stable presence in our neighborhood.

But, as it turns out, that’s not it for new Japanese joints in the area. In addition to Wasan, owners of the [Michelin-starred Sushi Azubu ](http://www.darumaya-nyc.com/sushiazabu/?ref=bklyner.com)in TriBeCa will be [opening a 3,700-square-foot that will include a “speak-easy sushi bar,”](http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150826/park-slope/michelin-starred-restaurateur-opening-speak-easy-sushi-bar-near-barclays?ref=bklyner.com) according to DNAinfo. The restaurant — which does not yet have a name — will be located at 166 Flatbush Avenue (between 5th Avenue and Pacific Street).

For now, you’ll just have to enjoy our one new, fancy Japanese restaurant, which is open Tuesdays-Sundays from 6pm-10:30pm, and closed Mondays. You can contact Wasan for reservations at 347-725-3550 or [info@wasan-ny.com](mailto:info@wasan-ny.com).
