    Arizona's 1st Sake. Applause. Applause…read more If you want a taste of Japan in Arizona, pick up a bottle of Arizona's first sake. Don't want to go to Holbrook? Whole Foods carries or as well. This little bottle packs a big punch. You might need a chaser if you aren't a fan of alcohol. For me though, it went down smooth. It was good. Pour me another and let's cheers.

    Arizona Sake, not a liquor store…read more.. Read about Atsuo Sakurai's labor of love, his personal love story too, in Smithsonian Magazine 2021* and immediately started to source his high-grade sake but to no avail. Being a sake fan, definitely not an aficionado, I shared what I'd read and my failed quest for Sakurai's USA made product with a relentless foodie friend. It reminded us both of our sake sipping days at the now closed Santa Monica Airport's restaurant, Typhoon **. Christmas gift exchange. I gave my friend sourdough starter. Hey, it was the tail end of the pandemic. My treat was a chilled bottle of Atsuo Sakurai's raw unprocessed, premium Junmai Ginjo sake. We shared, sipped, savored soul soothing elixir at my dining room table. I never did find out how that fine bottle made it there though. Photographed the bottle but self-editing me deleted it, didn't review Arizona Sake either concerned Yelp would 86 both because I didn't visit AZ. May still remove. Read it while it's here... Fortunately, Arizona Sake is now readily available through many US retailers in both AZ and CA like Whole Foods, Total Wine. Kanpai! * https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/sake-master-atsuo-sakurai-arizona-united-states-180978576/ ** https://www.yelp.com/biz/typhoon-santa-monica-2
