surprising. There should be other information on the label, such as the type of sake — Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, Junmai Daiginjo, Namazake, etc. This will help you find out more about the bottle in question. I wish I could...

“Arabashiri” junmai Ginjo Narmazake. I don’t normally care much for sake, but this went very well with the fish and watermelon. Concord Grape – this was grape juice contained in a bubble of cocoa butter , served like a shooter –...

4-6 times a year with 80-100 available for a $18 fee for 2 hours. They haven’t had these lately which is too bad. You can throw down a big chunk of cash there on some great sake and food. I always run into trouble since I...

Onigoroshi ginjo sake or (more expensive) Seiryo aged sake or (drier) Umenishiki daiginjo sake or Gekkeikan Horin daiginjo sake (all should be available at Astor Wines if you are in NYC)...
