Gokumi@Santa Ana Grand Opening ★★★

Amazing Grand Opening Sake & Izakaya Event. By Shota-san from Fifth Taste. A selection of 10+ different premium sake available for tasting. Buffet style. I like Ohmine Winter's Arrival, Muryozan, Kuheiji, and Akabu. Deep discounts on bottle purchase. Ohmine Winter's Arrival was $100, but only $60 at event. Even got a gift bag to take home. Owner Long-san is very kind and generous. Yakitori chef Ryo-san is very dedicated. Even gave me Otoro for my birthday surprise. Great place to dine after leaving Disneyland. 2 time slots for the event: 4-6pm or 6-8pm. $50 per person. Free parking in lot.

Tonchin LA@Hollywood ★★

Restaurant Originally from Tokyo and NY Pre-Opening. Even though this is a ramen restaurant, there are still a selection of appetizers for you to enjoy and with different kinds of sake. My first time hearing about pairing Ramen with Sake. Love the Cucumber appetizer. Chicken Wings and Tonkotsu Ramen were also their signature dishes. Turned out great. Tried 5 bottles of sake. Kuheiji was my favorite in terms of aroma and price point. Smooth and fruity. Matcha Shaved Ice was amazing. Friendly staff. $12 valet or limited parking on side streets.
