Gokumi x Heiwa Sake Event@Santa Ana ★★★

Amazing Heiwa Sake Event. Features most Heiwa sake from $5/glass. Heiwa Kid Winter Shiboritate Seasonal Sake was great. Fantastic with Yakitori. Reasonable price. Thrilled to see Heiwa Shuzo team from Japan there. Got the pleasure to meet Yamamoto-san, President of Heiwa, again. Yakitori Chef Ryo-san is amazing and very dedicated. Great place to dine around Disneyland area. Free Edamame (can choose truffle oil if available) upon Yelp check-in. Great to balance the meat with vegetables. Complimentary hot tea.

Kura x Snoopy Collaboration@Sawtelle ★★★

Snoopy Collaboration at the Revolving Sushi Bar. Capsules to collect at $3.70 each. All plates $3.70. They raised their price from $3.55 per plate to $3.70 recently. Free set of 3 Snoopy cups with $70 spent (before tax, equivalent to 19 plates) Jan 3-7, while supplies last. Sushi quality was decent this time. Sawtelle location has better quality later in the night (after 8) vs. earlier in the evening. Tuna Zuke Sushi is always my favorite. Download their app and to wait in the virtual queue. Free 1 hour validated parking at lot.
