Sake Bar in Emeryville

There is a food court called Public Market in Emeryville.
It's still under construction but many of the shops are already open, and someone told me that there was a Sake Bar, so we went to check it out.

The bar The Periodic Table offers sake, shochu and liquor from Japan. There are also beer taps of craft beers from local and Japan.

Besides glasses of sake, there are 3 or 4 tasting course which you can choose the combination from the menu, and we tried 4 sake tasting course.
This was our choice.

Shichihon yari Junmai
Maboroshi Junmai Ginjo
Seiden Omachi Junmai Daiginjo
Seiden Gohyakumangoku　Junmai

Otsumami was this beautiful cheese plate and pickles.

Maboroshi and Seiden Omachi (Omachi is the name of the rice which has umami and earthiness) were the best with food.

Seiden Gohyakumangoku was good with salty pickles.
Gihyakumangoku is also a name of sake rice, and known to have light aromas and textures, and a clean finish.

We were support to have just appetizers here and go to dinner, but the selection of sake was good, otsumami was delicious, people were knowledgeable and friendly... we became too comfortable and decided to stay here for dinner.

Shiba Ramen is a ramen shop next door. These two shops are owned by the same owner and we could order ramen from the bar, so I ordered clear ramen with pork chashu, and JC ordered White Bird (rich, creamy soup) with chicken chashu.

The ramen was gooood! And the chicken chashu was unexpectedly delicious (I stole from JC)!
Soup was rich, had good flavor but not heavy or greasy.

There are good ramen stores opening around the bay area recently and we tried some of them.
For me, Shiba ramen is one of the best.

Good drinks and good ramen. What else can I ask for?
Highly recommended place!
