premium admin BückDich 4777:216	I love Izakaya fare, especially some of the new hip ones in LA. But a sake brewpub? Interesting. Hopefully outsourcing the rice won’t be too costly with the recent rise in subsidies. I’m wondering who they brought in to brew? Sake isn’t like making beer.	10/24/2008 10:22:51 AM Private message

It looks like the owner is the same as the Herkimer a few doors down. Maybe they expanded their horizons... I think BDR and I will try it this weekend.	10/24/2008 10:50:17 AM Private message

Import Japanese sake is crazy expensive, but the facilities and hands-on you need with brewing sake is WAY different than beer. Koji adds a whole new element, along with the much more intensive filtering/pressing/pasteurizing procedure compared to usual brewpubs.	10/28/2008 8:28:48 PM Private message
premium badgerben 3584:79	BDR and I went there last night. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. I still don’t "get" sake all that well, but I certainly enjoyed it. The Nama Nigori in particular was very good.	10/28/2008 9:01:40 PM Private message
