Sake Secret@Long Beach ★★★

Dassai Sake Pairing Dinner Event at Sake Secret. Food pairing from Blk Trmpt. Sake Secret is an amazing Sake Store that sells premium sake at reasonable price. Customers are also welcome to bring food and dine there with their sake. They pair up with location restaurants for their sake pairing dinner events. Food was great and paired with the sake so well. We had the exclusive opportunity to be the 3rd group of people to try Dassai Blue 50, which was just released in New York and available in New York only. They are environmentally conscious to use biodegradable plates. Their dinner pairing events are usually $150, but this one is $200 because they featured the $660-$1100 Dassai Beyond. Owners are cat lovers, so you will see cats graphic around the store.
