Rare opportunity to take over a fully built, fully licensed Japanese izakaya and craft cocktail/sake bar in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant, high-foot-traffic dining neighborhoods, at a fraction of what it would cost to build today.

The owners purpose-built this space in 2017 with a build-out they value at approximately $1.2 million. Replicating it from scratch would take an estimated 12-18 months of construction, permitting, and licensing before serving a single guest. Here, everything is in place from day one: a transferable full liquor license, a beautifully designed three-story space of roughly 3,000 square feet, a dedicated private event room, an outdoor terrace, an in-house bakery program, and a complete commercial kitchen and bar.

The business generated gross revenue of approximately $678,000 in 2025 (roughly 69% food / 31% beverage) and holds a 4.5-star rating across 190+ online reviews. This is priced as a turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator: the operation is currently fully staff-run, and labor is the clear lever. A hands-on operator or an established restaurant group adding a location can step into a proven venue with the brand, license, and infrastructure already in place, or bring their own concept to a stage-ready space.

Ideal for an experienced operator, a chef ready to own, or a group seeking a licensed, built-out Brooklyn location without the capital risk and time cost of new construction. Financial details, lease terms, and full facilities list available under NDA.
