Sake Tasting@Xi'an Beverly Hills ★★★

Amazing Free Sake Tasting Presented by Xi'an Beverly Hills & Shota-san from Fifth Taste. A presentation of 13 premium sake. I got to try all 13 of them. Some of my favorites are Akabu, Heiwa, and Ohmine. Xi'an has been around since 1996. Their Salt & Pepper Fries and Garlic Noodles are tasty. Cece, Manager at Xi'an, is very welcoming, generous, hospitable, and hardworking.
