It was nice day in January! (yeah it happens) so I decided to take a walk to Distillery District and try out this place.
Its a nice cozy place and they have only 4 spot at the tasting area. I went for the flight and had the the Nama Nama, Crazy Horse and Teion Sakura.
I am by no means a connoisseur of sake but do enjoy it when I get a chance.
The thing that sets this place apart from the sakes sold at LCBO is that they have some unpasteurized stuff. Kind of hard to find in North America let alone Canada. At 10$ for the flight one can;t complain though the serving is minuscule.
Nama Nama is their signature and deserves high praise in fact I was so impressed I ended up buying a small bottle for myself. Crazy horse had more nuanced taste with citrus finish. Sakura was a bit stronger but my palate was unable to identify the subtle taste notes. Ah well I hope I can develop my taste in future to appreciate it.
They also sell some ceramic stuff and unique sake byproducts. Interesting stuff like wasabi salad dressing is also sold here.
High praise to the staff on service as the server was very knowledgeable and maintained service at a good level in Japanese tradition.
Now to find a good sushi place that serves nama nama. Ah well there is always take out :)
