Super Sake Week
We’ve got so many sake tastings coming up that we’re calling next week SUPER SAKE WEEK! Normally we hold our tastings on Saturday, but next week we have some brewery Presidents in town, so we’re holding three special tastings on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday! That’s right, three tastings in one week! Here’s the line up!

5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Mr. Kodama, President
~ Taiheizan Tenko Junmai Daiginjo
~ Taiheizan Tsuzuki Junmai Ginjo
~ Taiheizan Kimoto Junmai
The last time Mr. Kodama from Taiheizan came to the shop to pour his sake we were standing room only! We quickly sold out of his Daiginjo and ended up with a long waiting list on back order, This time we’re fully stocked and Mr. Kodama will be pouring not only his popular Daiginjo, but also his as Tsuzuki Junmai Ginjo as well as his Kimoto Junmai.

Located in Nara prefecture, Harushika means “Spring Deer”. The first capital of Japan was established in Nara back in 710 AD which is also thought to be the birthplace of sake! Harushika Brewery was founded in 1884 as the official sake brewery of the Kasuga Grand Shrine. Their sake is described as light mellow tasting sake with a flowery yet sharp flavor.
We hope you’ll be able to stop by for a taste.
