Yama Sake Tasting@West LA ★★★

Amazing Sake Tasting Event at Yama Sushi Sake Attitude. Tasting 5 different sake for $15 with generous pours and refills. Great deal. A bit different from last time. They try to change every season. Very informational. My favorite from the tasting was Kitaya Kansansui Junmai Dai Ginjo. Kunizakari Wa no Kokoro Matcha Liqueur was kind of nice with matcha flavor, but it's not pure enough. 20% off all sake bottles in the store. I love Emishiki Ginjo World Peace from last tasting, which is the same manufacturer of my favorite Monsoon. I bought 2 additional bottles of it and cleared their inventory. No longer comes with Sashimi sample and chocolate for pairing. Super fun event. Friendly staff. Tasting reservations via Tock.
