WINE
Presqu'ile Santa Barbara County Syrah 2018 $17 GL / $60 BTL - This sustainably-farmed Syrah includes 30% whole clusters and is aged for 18 months in French oak. Robust and gamey, the wine oozes with flavors of juicy blackberries, blueberry skin, cracked pepper, graphite, and savory herbs.
Bichi "Pet Mex" 2019 $65 BTL - THIS. WINE. IS. DELICIOUS. This is a sparkling rose made from unknown Mexican grapes. I know, right?! It is bottled unfined, unfiltered, without any added sulphur and farmed organically. It's fairly fruit-forward (strawberries, guava) and has a little bit of residual sugar. And it goes down incredibly easy. It pairs well with happiness, beaches and the end of the dumpster fire that was 2020.
Meinklang "Prosa" Frizzante Rose of Pinot Noir 2019 $40 BTL - Sparkling Pinot Noir rosé from everyone’s favorite Burgenland darlings. Soft fizz, raspberry and strawberry flavors, moderate acidity, plush texture, with a creamy mouthfeel and a slightly smokey/flinty finish. As dangerous as it is delicious, you’ll want to buy two bottles because the first will disappear a little too quickly. Yes, it’s that good. Certified biodynamic and organic. Some blaufrankisch and zweigelt blended in.
COCKTAILS & BEER
Kizakura Lucky Dog Pale Ale $10 - One of the first craft beer brewers in Japan is Kizakura Co, a Kyoto-based brewery that's one of Japan's top sake producers. Kizakura started making beer back in 1995, using the same clear, pure water they've been using to make their sake. Lucky Dog is a soft and calming brew with a subtle but characteristic citrus aromas drawn from cascade hops. It is full of refreshing hoppy flavors, as well as the rich and savory textures of barley malt.
Kizakura Lucky Cat White Ale $10 - This beer has a gentle yet refreshing aroma of fresh yuzu and spicy sansho peppercorn. The addition of high quality Japanese rice lends a lightness to the body of this brew, counterbalancing Saaz hops bitterness elegantly. Try it with any of our cold starters like Hamachi & Jalapeño Sashimi or Octopus Crudo.
Kizakura Lucky Chicken Red IPA $10 - A reddish-copper brew that has the bitterness of an IPA and malty flavor of a red ale. The addition of sake rice lends the beer a soft texture and refreshing character. Lucky Chicken has a harmonious blend of tropical fruit aromas from mosaic hops and sweet malt aromas from caramel hops. Try it with our Chicken Skewers Three Ways.
Saint Arnold Juicy IPA $6 - From Texas' oldest Craft Brewery, this is an IPA bursting with hop flavor and aroma. It has a soft bitterness followed by a refreshing juicy sweetness that doesn’t end cloying.
Parish "Ghost in the Machine" Double IPA $8 - Expect pungent grapefruit aromas and flavors, tropical fruit, and less harsh bitterness than most IIPAs.
Yuzu Sparkle $8 - Sparkling Japanese Lemonade with Topo Chico. Make it a Strawberry Lemonade for an additional $2.
Matcha Made in Heaven $18 - No room for dessert? Have a dessert cocktail instead. Made with our housemade Matcha Mix, vodka, Frangelico, creme de cacao, Galliano Ristretto, egg whites and garnished with gold flakes.
SAKE
Taka "Noble Arrow" Nama Tokubetsu Junmai 720ml $50 - Aromas of green melon rind and kaffir lime leaves. Creamy, luxurious mid palate with a salted plum finish. Try it with any of our robata items like Oyster Mushrooms or Shishito Peppers.
Daimon "Road to Osaka" Tokubetsu Junmai Nigori 720ml $46 - It is creamy yet mild with notes of banana, citrus and floral. A great unfiltered sake for beginner and advanced sake drinkers. Try it with our Shrimp and Veggie Tempura or Chicken Karaage.
Konteki "Tears of Dawn" Daiginjo 720ml $70 - This sake has lush notes of tropical banana, anise seed, and truffle. These same flavors come rushing through the full-bodied palate followed by a velvety and dangerously smooth finish. Pair it with our Iberico Shumai or Pan-seared Iberico pork.
