WOW! Super selection, if you think you know a thing or two about sake, come here and get schooled by a master. I am sweetly humbled, writing this the morning after and feel great even after drinking a ton of premium sake, drink the bottle of amazing Ishikawa water they give you!
First time trying a Toriizumi Nama (unpasteurized) Arabashiri (free flow before pressing), MINDBLOWN 🤯! So much energy, tension, green/ vegetal notes and even a teeny bit of petillance (carbonation).
One of the owners was so sweet she made me a card with my. Are in Japanese and even sent me home with my own tube of Karashi mustard (my favorite, for the trip)and a bread roll!

Read moreMy husband and I just returned from possibly the best night of our lives here. We arrived at around 7:30 and left just before close.
The sake is incredible and the staff are so knowledgable and friendly. The owner and his wife are wonderful people who made us feel like family. We only wish we had more time in Kanazawa.
The food was spectacular, so much love and thought is put into every dish. The grilled miso crab was phenomenal.
We couldn’t have asked to find a better place to spend a night of our honeymoon.
I hope they read this because they made our whole trip. All the love
10/10 we will recommend this...
