MENUS

Hot sake doesn’t have to mean cheap sake. We skip the big box brands for a premium honjozo. The Tsukinowa Kinen ‘Blue Hue’ is great cold, but perfect when warmed. Available in both large and small sizes, have a tokkuri for yourself or to share. . . #sake #izakaya #tsukinowa #honjozo 日本酒 #熱燗 #月の輪

Cherry blossom season may be behind us, but with the Dewazakura Oka it is always just a glass away. This aromatic and dry ginjo is bursting with floral aromas.
