Is there a place similar in Tokyo others could recommend? First: a good
ambiance and plenty of interesting sakes to try. 2) Particularly with
knowledgeable English-speaking guides. 3) In tasting sets (small
glasses of 3 or more brands/typres) would be nice.
A good place to start is John Gauntner's sake web page:
http://www.sake-world.com/html/pub-guide.html
I've been to several places on his list and they all fulfill
criteria #1, but #2 and #3 are a bit problematic.
If you need an English-speaking guide, send me an email -
I happen to know someone who is a fluent English-speaker
and loves sake. :-)
Actually I'm reading Gauntner's "Sake Handbook" now. I check the site,
and drop you a line... Thanks!
