Really awesome sake shop. The people there are super knowledgeable and helped choose a sake just for me. They also do tastings with a theme, which is great to introduce one to the world of sake. Totally in love with this spot, definitely coming again once I'm done my bottle

I love true sake. I get to learn and buy something I love. I can't wait to go back. Almost time.
