So many customers ordered Dassai special tasting set, even it was Monday:D

We served 3 kinds of Dassai; Dassai 39 Sparkling, Dassai 50 Nama (sold in only Japan), Dassai 39 for just $14 at the night.

Look at the big smile of Prince Dassai, Mr. Sakurai(on the right end) and 3 of cute brewers!! Hope we can do another “Kawauso(Otter) Night” soon!

Thank you Sake Samurai Tim-san for the great picture! I “SAKE” New York!!
