    Holbrook is a seriously sad town. Closed store fronts. Dilapidated buildings and not much going…read moreon. Much like an oasis, Studio 66 Cafe was open and welcoming. There's sandwiches, panini's, wraps and delectable sweets. The service is stellar and everyone is so kind. We had a great meal with too much food and there was not one inch of disappointment! If you find yourself in Holbrook, this is the only place to eat.

They let us know that the panini machine was broken and someone was working on it, so that buggered up my plan to order the turkey panini. I ended up ordering a grilled chicken sandwich. Husband decided to go big with a chili dog The place is clean - but I do have to mention that these terribly uncomfortable chairs made my back hurt just looking at them, so we ate quickly They have a little book sitting at the front bar, where they give you all sorts of information on Holbrook, which is kind of cool. It included a list of places to stay, things to see and do in the city and campgrounds.- quite fun that they have taken the time to put that together. Honestly, the food wasn't all that memorable and maybe it was because I had my heart set on that turkey Panini. The chicken sandwich was fine and my husband's hot dog was good but very messy as one would expect. The fries weren't very hot. It was just OK. $29 before tip

    Japanese Sakè (sah keh) made in the high country of northeastern Arizona by a Tōji/master Sakè…read morebrewer from Yokohama, Japan seems like a mirage in the dry, arid, high desert in an area known more for Navajo Native American culture than creation of East Asian libations. On the return trip to see the total solar eclipse in Dallas, I went on I-40 to visit various iconic Route 66 towns on the Mother Road, Holbrook being one of them. I called Arizona Sakè around 8am as I was approaching Holbrook to see if I could get an appointment and got a prompt text message saying that Arizona Sakè would be ready for me at my eta at 9:30am. Atsuo Sakurai (ah tsoo oh · Sah koo rah ee) is the mastermind behind Arizona Sakè who has created a rare type of Nama/unpasturized Sakè (sah keh) that still has active probiotic yeast left from the fermentation process as his chef d'oeuvre/masterpiece since it won best in class at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition and gold in the Tōkyō Sakè Competition 2018 for Sakè made outside of Japan. His technically well finished yet unorthodox Sakè definitely has unique flavours with roots in northern Arizona that will go well with American BBQ, steaks, game meats, hamburgers, hot dogs, and I would suspect Navajo cuisine. At the same time, I can see a pairing with red meat Sashimi like Hon Maguro & fatty cuts like Toro & Hamachi. Be ready to sample about 3 different Sakè: 1) Junmai Ginjo Class, Nama, "The Premium One": Nama means raw, uncooked in Japanese which in this case means unpasturized. That means that the Kōbo/yeast & Kōji/special mold, which help change starch into alcohol, are still active to help add more beneficial flora into the digestive system. Refrigeration is suggested to keep the Sakè fresh. Rich, smooth sweetness yet touch dry with bit of ripe pear & apple along with toasty, light nuttiness balanced by a bit of refreshing acidity. It's a pleasing, robust Sakè that will definitely pair well with American Barbecue or meaty, beefy hamburgers. 2) Navajo Tea Sakè I Googled Navajo Tea and learned that it is the desert plant known as greenthread. The greenthread stems in the bottle add an unmistakable high desert vibe to this Sakè. Faint cherry blossom, green plum. Sweet, smooth, earthy toastiness. I paired Taiwanese Lobster with heavy hoisin sauce, garlic, red chiles, and it went well. 3) Herbs & Bitters: Cinnamon, French thyme, musky, earthy, touch smoky, apple pear cider. Really went well with Carré d'Agneau/lamb chops marinated in rosemary, garlic, cracked black pepper. 4) Prickly Pear Sakè: Bright magenta colored!!! Smooth, fruity, may be the best for preprandial apéritif to whet the appetite before start of the meal. Or as a chilled sipping Sakè. Arizona Sakè's big, bold flavours may not always pair well with classic Japanese Èdo Maè Sushi nor Sashimi. But can handle California Sushi where mayonnaise, Sriracha garlicky chile sauce, and extra sweet "eel sauce" hold reign. Also, Japanese Tempura, Nimono/ soy sauce braised cooking would work well. Arizona Sakè's strength lies in being great with non-Japanese cuisines such as other Asian cuisines, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Italian, etc. Arizona Sakè is definitely worth a detour when in northeast Arizona. 5 stars for a unique Sakè experience found no where else in the Sakè universe. Btw, hope that you found Chateau Roumier, Sauternes, 2020 to be of interest for your sophisticated palate.

    While on a road trip thru Holbrook, AZ we got to visit the space and with the master sake brewer…read morehimself and did a tasting of the sakes he creates. Apart from truly an "A winning Arizona craft sake" experience- meeting the brewer himself was pretty awesome. The sake he crafts is smooth and with unique flavors to represent the diversity of the state and its flora (Navajo Tea, Prickly Pear...). More cool info and bio of the master sake brewer featured in the Smithsonian magazine and NPR.
