> Is it Japanese-owned and operated? Most restaurants only serve super-hot, hand-burningly warm sake, because it masks the unpleasantness of the cheap swill they provide. Japanese servers won’t bat an eye at serving sake chilled, although some are still best slightly warm.

Well, there are a couple of rather oriental looking dudes cutting the fish, and the server is some form of oriental [varies between male and female depending on which day we go , no idea what the birth sex of the person in question is and Im afraid to ask …:eek:]

They actually have a sake menu, so it isnt just one or 2 kinds of sake, and it is about 30 different ones, some are filtered, unfiltered, infused with flavoring … so we sort of randomly pick stuff out =)

“randomly picking stuff” sounds like me with a wine list that is more than just 10 items long:D
