An incredible evening of sake tasting at Sakae Sushi in Burlingame! 🍶✨

We had the honor of sharing the table with 2020 Tokyo Olympic Gold Medalist Takuto Otoguro for a truly memorable night. We sampled a remarkable lineup of sakes—exploring everything from complex Yamahai Junmais to comforting hot sakes that warmed up the night—all paired alongside Sakae’s world-class sushi.
Exceptional sake, legendary company, and unforgettable pairings. Cheers to nights like this! 🥂✨

InitialSD

Tomorrow is looking like a high-octane collision of nostalgia and precision.
Here is why the hype is real:

🚒 The Shobousha (Fire Engine)
Expect some heavy-duty, classic Japanese utility vibes. There is something undeniably cool about the rugged, functional aesthetic of a vintage Shobousha

🏎️ The Legendary 86
The Hachi-Roku isn’t just a car; it’s a culture. Whether it’s a pristine restoration or a drift-ready monster with 80’s city Jpop

we’re getting the soul of the Japanese touge brought to life.
🌃 Initial SD & Nishikaze City Nights
This is where the atmosphere hits. .citynights knows how to capture that “midnight run” energy.

Beyond the engines and the exhaust notes, this is a celebration of Takumi (craftsmanship)—that relentless Japanese pursuit of perfection in every detail, from a polished fender to a perfectly timed shift.

“Respect the past, tune the future.”

tomorrow is about the pride of Japan.
