True Sake in SF

True Sake is a Japanese Sake specialty shop in San Francisco.
They only carry Sake from all over Japan, from Junmai Daiginjo to Futsu-shu.
This kind of store might be rare even in Japan because most of the Sake stores there carry other beverages too.

Sake can be perishable so it's good to have specialty store nearby who knows how to handle them.

One problem is it's hard to find parking around there. So when we find good parking spot, we tend to cerebrate it with shopping spree.

And these are the sake we bought this day.
From left to right:
Shichida Junmai Ginjo
Urakasumi Junmai Daiginjo
Kuroushi Junmai Ginjo "Black Bull"
Hanagaki Junmai Ginjo
Ichinokura Junmai Daiginjo

When we got back home, we opened Hanagaki.
This sake is from Fukui prefecture.

It had sweet aroma of fruits, but dry to the taste.
Tasted really good especially when it was chilled.
It was clear but had a little complexity which makes this sake good with food.
In fact, it somehow went really good with grilled Pita bread.
