sawa x Heiwa Muryozan & KID@Little Tokyo ★★★

Now we are talking (literally). Mind blown. Superb quality. Just our 3rd time here, but we are starting to be regulars and experiencing exceptional service. Totally chill & fun. So thrilled to have the rare opportunity to have both fantastic sushi chefs Ryo-san and Anthony-san present. You get the best of both worlds. You can order extra if you really need to. Special collaboration event presented by Shota-san from Fifth Taste with Heiwa Muryozan & KID champion sake pairing. I like 無量山 Muryozan Junmai Ginjo and Junmai Ginjo Shiboritate. You can't go wrong with Muryozan. Shiboritate was just received 2 days ago. It's unpasteurized and fruity. Natalia the bartender is amazing. I always let her choose the cocktails for me. After this night, we are ok with replacing our beloved favorite Wadatsumi with sawa. sawa might potentially surpass Wadatsumi's special place in our hearts soon.
