'll also have a few surprises on hand for the more adventurous. . .selection of sakes put together for us by Beau Timken of True Sake . . an exclusive for sebo for the opening. Shutendouji Oh-Oni “Big Demon” form...

FYI: America’s first Sake store right here in San Francisco. True Sake has just opened up in Hayes Valley, San Francisco. This is the best place to buy sake in the city, maybe the country. The owner has a great working...

Sebo also has a short but excellent sake list done by Beau Timken, who runs True Sake across the street (world’s only sakeonly store). If you go early you can hit both-Sebo opens at 6pm and True Sake closes at 7pm.

I think the guy you are talking about is now running Oyaji on Clement and 32nd. His fish is very good, and the sushi is great for the price. He also loves to drink, so go to True Sake on Hayes (across the street from Sebo, which...

I brought back some from japan and tried it at home... it didn’t taste too great but I probably didn’t do it right. I got the info from the owner of True Sake. You might want to ask him if he knows of any places in SF...

were so very, very glad we did. The sake he poured us was simply liquid sex! And the sushi and sashimi was too good to be true. Do me a favor, keep this wonderful place to yourselves! Let’s be selfish!

I drink either hot green (plain) tea or sake. Sometimes I see people drinking Diet Coke and wondered if that interfered with the delicacy of the raw fish.

man, why can’t the chain’s known for certain items, stick to those tried and true items and only those items. you don’t see mcdonald’s trying chinese food do you????

previous comparison with a Niigata sake only holds true for the refinement and balance, which is remarkably Niigata-esque, though I have to say that the body ( and resulting sweetness ) is much too “large” to put it...

had a great meal at sushi-gen. tried and true. never fails. o-toro (very fatty!) several orders of hamachi toro (yellowtail belly) aji (spanish mackerel) sake (salmon) halibut wing (chewy and fresh) maguro black cod sweet miso and two...

. Places like Kyushu or other parts down south have strong shochu cultures, so they just use "sake" as a sort of colloquial term for shochu. In Nigata, true rice growing country, "sake" probably refers to “nihon-shu”,...

Sebo in Hayes Valley, hands down. I tried it for the first time this weekend and was blown away – great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent sake selection (from True Sake across the street) and some of the freshest...

. You can read threads all day on Le Bernadin and Gramercy Tavern and the food is great of course, but step out for some true novelty and try out Suibi. If you have no plans for the next day, sample awamori, or Okinawan sake.

the gumbo, they have po-boys, jambalaya, etc. Verti Mart or Central Grocery — to-go muffalettas, eat up by the river, beignets and coffee for dessert at Cafe du Monde. Johnny’s po-boys — I’ve always liked...

of sake, you can buy your own bottle at True sake across the street from Sebo and consume the sake there at no extra corkage. Cheers
