Editorial Review for Supercore – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
In understated fashion, this Japanese tapas bar unites the sensibilities of two capitals of hipness--Tokyo and Williamsburg. It has a warm, clean decor of square wood panels and paper lanterns, plus the cute touch of dolls spinning on turntables in the windows. Tricked-out jazz, pop and electronica play most nights, while progressive DJs such as John Davis spin on weekends.
The Draw
Pleasant bartenders serve a range of $3 and $4 Japanese home cooking-style dishes, all presented in artful ceramics. The distinctive offerings include sake-simmered sardines with ginger--salty, yet tempered with light flavors--and the refreshing burdock in sesame sauce; an underseasoned beef stew and bland rice balls are better skipped. The one sake available by the glass, Onigoroshi, is delectably smooth and dry. Other drink options include beer, sangria, prosecco and in chilly weather, a fragrant, comforting mulled wine.

Supercore has the best vibe in the whole neighborhood!! Great music,really nice paninis and a variety of teas. Free wi-fi and cute garden. The japanese staff is awesome except for an american guy that works there who always forgets to put orders in and rolls his eyes every time you ask for something. Another good thing is that they stay open till late.
Pros: good food,great atmosphere,nice garden.
