Cuttest, eclectic bar! We were not so knowledgable about Sake but didnt realize the layers, notes and variety available. Warm welcome and was fun to hear about the offerings and try different sake. Fun experience, delicious sake & cool vibe. 3 seating sections of front, stand up bar and back tatami benches with all the nick nacks was a feast for the eyes as well as conversations. - MO
