ALERT! 🚨 NEW COOL SAKE BAR IN OSAKA!

Sake Daruma is a new premium sake bar five stories up, located just north of Dotonbori Canal in Osaka. Besides being decked out in Daruma garb, it has a chill vibe and nice bartenders with the sitcom Friends playing on repeat.

Discovered by Kj Sakura on her recent visit, she said Daruma has all the goods, even sake shes been hunting down for years such as Senkin Kabutomushi, a summer release with a colorful rhinoceros beetle on the label. Kagura and Mimurosugi also made an appearance... iconic must-haves from nearby regions and fresh as can be.

Next time you party in Osaka, be sure to check out Sake Daruma!

In the mood for something dreamy? Try Isojiman Tokubetsu Junmai "Omachi 53." 小池隆昭

"The nose on this updated fan favorite brew is a gentle collection of pear, cooked apples, cream, nougat, and steamed rice aromas. Say hello to one of our favorite brews that has been Tokubetsu-d aka “specialized” to a new milling rate of 53% for their Akaiwa Omachi rice and using their special house yeast called Isojiman New-5-1. In a word, this is a professional sake through and through, and it will astound the sake aficionados, and will be a very welcome drinking experience for new sake drinkers. Dry, clean, smooth, gentle, round, lush and layered, this is a rich sake that drinks more smooth than full-bodied. Basically, this takes Omachi to a new amazing level of scope and balance with a flavor field that is not like your typical fruity brew. Look for sweet rice, nougat, cooked apples, powdered sugar, butter, ocean water, and a whole lot of umami, on a full-bodied flow that is buoyant and soft. This is one of those Bucket List Brews that every True Sake fan should taste."

Beau's Choice: Fukuumi Yamadanishiki Hiire Junmai "Lucky Sea"

The nose on this sake from Nagasaki (not a lot of breweries down there) is a fun collection of grapefruit, green apple, honeydew, tangerine, peach jelly, strawberries and cream, powdered sugar, kiwi, vanilla, and white floral aromas. The label reads, “The tides have brought all good fortune.” And we like to add, “And good sake.” Light, clean, spritzy, bright, lively, fresh, refreshing, slightly dry and with a w**e-lover’s astringency, this brew drinks like the tides coming in and going out. Look for lychee, lemon water, watermelon, white cherry, green apple, green grape, mochi, and steamed rice flavors that excel in a white w**e glass. This is modern sake at its best that is flavorful and bright with a very fragrant aroma and lively dry character. Some say it drinks like it looks!

If you haven't tried Kenbishi, then your sake journey is not yet complete! It is the oldest brand still being produced (since 1505) and holds true to their motto, "If you're chasing the trend, you're already late." .official

In Beau's words, here's what Kenbishi Kuromatsu Honjozo is all about:

"The nose on this extremely famous Honjozo from the brewery that calls itself “The Oldest Brand Since 1505” is a dynamic collection of steamed rice, cocoa, maple syrup, and nougat aromas. Their distinctive labels show a sword tip coming right at you, just like the deep, rich, and full-bodied flavors coming right at your palate. This brew is dense, thick, and feels great. Look for savory and sweet rice flavors that flow on a fat liquid that is excellent for warming. Dig deep and you'll find a layer of cocoa tones. Dig even deeper and you will happen upon a cream brûlée flavor that is out of this world. Truly one of the classic Honjozos that every sake explorer should try at some point."
