NURUKAN SATO

SHU SA RON
Paradise for Koshu (aged sake) lovers. The widest range
of Koshu, available in different flights and paring nibbles
under the great guidance of owner Mr. Ueno.

MAISHIN
Energetic, casual and fun Izakaya with an impressive list
of 200 different sake by rare and prestigious makers.
They serve all sake in 60, 120, 180 & 360ml sizes and
have two all-you-can-drink menus, one at ¥6,000 and
another at ¥8,000. Both menus come with the same
multi-course meal over a 2.5 hour time limit, and the
difference reflects the more premium sake served for
the ¥8,000 menu. Last orders are called after 2 hours.
