Sato Brewpub
The house brews at Buffalo's first izakaya are, for the most part, pretty faithful renditions of time-tested European classics enhanced with distinctly Japanese touches — witness the notes of soy complementing the clean, dry finish of the "Aggretsuko" Belgian stout, while the "Urban Samurai" IPA packs a strong, bitter, hoppy punch at 6.2% ABV. If that doesn't strike your fancy, the "Yuz' Not That IPA" brewed in conjunction with Community Beer Works for Sato's other locations is poured here too, as well as a range of sakes and mixed drinks.
