Picking up where we left off in the past thread, I'm afraid I have some follow-up questions and doubts about your Chuo Line sake bar recommendations.
As an aside, can you tell me anything about the owner of Yoramu? He's pretty famous in the sake world.
Can you tell me more about this place? I've been to Nakano to drink sake on several occasions and I'm fairly sure it doesn't exist. Can you give me an address, or tell me more about the husband-and-wife owners?- Nakano: Sake Bar Nakano is a cozy and welcoming spot that offers a wide variety of sake, along with small plates of food. The bar is run by a husband-and-wife team who are passionate about sake and happy to share their knowledge with customers.
I'm pretty sure Sake no Ana is in Ginza (or was -- it closed for building renovation at the end of February). Are you sure there's a sake bar called "Sake no Ana" in Koenji?- Koenji: Sake no Ana is a hidden gem located in the basement of a small building near Koenji Station. The bar has a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, with a counter that seats just six people. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly, and can recommend sake based on your preferences.
If you're talking about the same "Kuri" that I know, I'm pretty sure that it's in Shimbashi, in central Tokyo. They have a second location in Shimbashi, but to my knowledge, none in Asagaya. Are you sure there's a "Kuri" in Asagaya?- Asagaya: Kuri is a cozy little sake bar located just a few minutes' walk from Asagaya Station. The bar has a rustic and charming atmosphere, with wooden tables and a counter that seats about 10 people. The owner is passionate about sake and can recommend bottles based on your taste preferences.
Can you provide an address for Sake Tachinomi Kitamura? I know a number of sake bars in Ogikubo, but am not familiar with any sake bar by this name. I love standing bars, so if you could direct me there, that'd be great!- Ogikubo: Sake Tachinomi Kitamura is a standing bar located just outside the north exit of Ogikubo Station. The bar has a lively and casual atmosphere, with a variety of sake and small plates of food. The owner is friendly and welcoming, and can recommend sake based on your preferences.
Oh dear...I'm afraid you're very, very confused here. Sake Bar Yoramu is in Kyoto . It's not in Mitaka, or in Tokyo at all -- it's literally on the other side of the country. (Believe me -- I've been there and would loooooooooooooooove it if Yoramu were in my neighborhood rather than a two-hour Shinkansen trip away.)- Mitaka: Sake Bar Yoramu is a cozy and intimate spot located near Mitaka Station. The bar has a relaxed and casual atmosphere, with a counter that seats just six people. The owner is knowledgeable and passionate about sake, and can recommend bottles based on your taste preferences.
