| - This little nook in the distillery district is solid! This little cafe/sake brewery has a counter/bar on your right as you walk in - and then on the left is a glassed off area where the sake brewing happens! They have a few info panels along the wall too, if you're into reading about the process.
They have a few types of sake on offer, but I tried their Nama Nama signature sake in a small cup, and it was really really nice - fresh and delicious. We even got a little bowl of rice snacks on the house to nibble while we sipped, which I thought was great. They have a sake tasting flight available, but I think next time I drop in i'm all over the shandy - sake and ginger ale! Mindblowing.
Other than sake, they offer some miso soup mixes, Sake Kasu (a sake brewing byproduct) and a couple of types of house-made bottled salad dressings. There's also some merch available - bottles and delicate ceramic cups, plus tshirts and other promo merch.
I also wondered about what the word "Izumi" meant, as it's all over their merch and cups and whatnot - it means spinning water, which I suppose is appropriate re: the spring water :)
My only gripe is the small amount of seating, and that's really it! Nice one. This place is just great!
