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.

Great Team at the Event!
