Sakes

Gekkeikan Black and Gold Sake: a unique blend of two sakés carefully selected from saké made with rice milled to 60% and 70 % by our sake master for a rich, complex saké. Full-bodied with hints of honeydew, papaya, anise and roasted nuts.

Choya Plum Wine Umeshu: a premium plum wine imported from Japan with real Ume-plum fruits in the bottle. Umeshu is a traditional Japanese aperitif/dessert wine. Enjoy Umeshu on the rocks, Umeshu tonic or simply pour small amount of Umeshu over vanilla ice cream to enjoy a unique Ume flavored dessert.

Tozai Blossom Of Peace Plum Sake Kyoto: aromas of almond and marzipan followed by plum, apricot and cherry on the palate. The soft tartness and acidity balance the finish with a slightly sweet smoothness.

Shimizu No Mai Pure Dusk Junmai Daiginjo Sake: delicate structure with hints of fresh orange peel. Dry finish.

SOTO Junmai Daiginjo Sake Niigata: full-bodied and creamy on the palate, with aromas of gala apple, flavors of melon and cucumber, and a crisp, clean finish. Our Premium Junmai Daiginjo is as versatile as any wine. From savory to salty foods. Discover the freshness of SOTO Saké.

Gekkeikan Horin: this long-standing flagship premium brand is crafted with utmost care and precision. Two sake rice varieties, Yamada Nishiki — also known as the “king” of sake rice varieties — and Gohyakumangoku, are expertly blended during the brewing process to create this luxurious Junmai Daiginjo sake with a beautiful fruity nose. Its subtle flavors are well-balanced, and it's exceptionally smooth with a long, clean finish. Best served in a wine glass to appreciate the green apple, melon and pear aromas.

Sushi

A variety of sushi rolls will be provided including (based on availability) Salmon Avocado Roll | Tuna Avocado Roll | Philadelphia Roll | Eel Cucumber Roll | Shrimp Tempura Roll | Angel Roll | Shaggy Dog Roll | Orchid Roll | Mount Everest Roll | Monster Roll

Note: This will be a laid back affair. Sushi and sake in a cool environment. We're not experts on anything but the cool environment so this experience will be at your own pace, rather than someone guiding you through each sake.
