Mutsu Hassen Black Label
Junmai Ginjyo. Aomori, Japan.
$25
Staff Favorite
Hachinohe Brewery is one of few who practices sustainability and only utilizes local ingredients. The result is bursting with the apple-infused terroir of Aomori. A refreshing acidity melts gently into a sea of umami, allowing it to adapt easily in many different pairings. Its sheen matches the quality: Golden.
Drink chilled.
Balanced
$24
Senkin Modern
Junmai Daiginjo. Tochigi, Japan.
$24
Senkin Modern represents a new era of sake brewing, merging traditional kimoto-style techniques with a contemporary sensibility. Crafted with subterranean water from the Kinu River, native yeast, and no additives, this Junmai Daiginjo is balanced and elegant, offering a light, silky finish without overpowering alcohol, capturing the essence of modern sake. Aromas of La France pear, melon, and muscat — soft and airy on the palate.
Sparkling
$15
MIO Sparkling Sake (10oz)
Sparkling Sake. Nada, Japan.
$15
Delicate & refreshingly sweet with flavors of honeydew, lemongrass & peaches. Refreshing - not too sweet! Think of it as - a Japanese Prosecco for 2!
Umeshu
$19
Nanbu Bijin Umeshu No Sugar
Umeshu. Iwate, Japan.
$19
This particular plum brew infuses only the plums into their one-of-a-kind no sugar-added Umeshu. The natural sugars of the plums are extracted by the sake over time. This longer process unveils a refreshingly tart, bright, rose-colored delight.
Recommended on the rocks.
Pet Nat
$18
Celler 9+ Blanc 1r
Xarel·lo (Pet-Nat). Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain.
$18
A somewhat tart and funky pet-nat — fresh, herbal, and foamy, with minerality and a soft, fruity finish defined by varietal aromas of Mediterranean and tropical fruit. In the mouth it is broad and structured with hints of citrus and honey.
Red
$19
Swick Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon. Columbia Valley, WA. 2022.
$19
Organic
An intriguing mix of Old World and New World with a commanding presence in the glass. Macerated whole cluster for two months before aging in neutral French oaks for 14 months. Tobacco, dark cherry, and mint aromatics lead to a fruit-forward finish with fresh acidity. The longer skin maceration makes for a cabernet that is lighter in color with a more elegant expression.
White
$19
Domaine Bersan “Saint-Bris”
Sauvignon Blanc. Burgundy, France. 2023.
$19
Organic
An aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with a medium body; refreshing grapefruit and florals on the nose with more citrus and mineral notes on the palate, all ending in a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Fresh, bright, and very balanced.
Orange/Skin-Contact
$17
Bojo Do Luar “Doralice”
Loureiro Vinho Verde. Portgual. 2020.
$17
Organic
Unfined/Unfiltered
Structured, aromatic, herbaceous with soft tannins. What we like to call a more gentle type of orange wine meaning that the tannins are subtle, the color less in the amber direction and the palate is fresh. You'll find a touch of nuttiness in the predominantly tropical fruit flavors of this wine.
Rosé
$18
Domaine La Croix St. Laurent, Sancerre Rosé
Pinot Noir. 2024. Sancerre, France.
$18
This rosé is light, fresh, and zippy, with notes of gooseberry, under-ripe watermelon, and citrus accompanied by floral nuances. A very pleasant acidity and a long finish.
Japanese Ale/IPA
$11
Kizakura Lucky Dog (10oz)
Japanese Session IPA. Kyoto, Japan.
$11
Brilliant citrus aroma. Modest hoppiness with light & smooth aftertaste. Well balanced with a lighter body than a usual IPA.
$11
Kizakura Lucky Cat (10oz)
White Ale, Kyoto, Japan
$11
Has a gentle yet refreshing aroma of fresh yuzu and spicy sansho peppercorn.
The addition of high-quality Japanese rice lends a lightness to the body of this brew, counterbalancing Saaz hops bitterness elegantly.
Japanese Lager/Pilsner/Saison
$11
Echigo Weizen for a Relaxing Time
Hefeweizen. 5.5%. Niigata, Japan.
$11
10 oz. Beautiful, slightly hazy liquid with a delicate fruity, and refreshing flavor. The enjoyable soft mouthfeel and round mouthfeel lead easily to a crisp dry finish. Brewed with 100% wheat malt and barley malt and hops, this craft beer was brewed with all the hard-working busy people out there, to be enjoyed in the times they would most like to relax.
$11
Orion Beer
Lager. 5%. Okinawa, Japan.
$11
Orion’s “The Draft” offers a refreshing, mild taste with a crisp mouthfeel and pours a clear yellow-golden in the glass. Lemony citrus, grainy malt, and a bit of grassiness on the nose with a superbly clean finish — a classic example of a Japanese light lager.
$11
Asahi Super Dry
Rice Lager. 5%. Osaka, Japan.
$11
Japan’s number 1 beer! Dry and crisp with a quick, clean finish.
Lager/Pilsner
$12
Nodogoshi Rice Lager
Rice Lager. 4.7%. Brooklyn, NY.
$12
From Saltfields, the first ever Japanese craft brewery in NYC that launched in 2025. “Nodogoshi” has everything you’d want in a Rice Lager; it’s crisp, dry, and very drinkable, with a delicate acidity and a clean finish. Brewed with Calrose rice, white Koji, and German Pilsner malt.
Ale/IPA
$12
Rolling In Clouds
Hazy IPA. 7.1%. Queens, NY.
$12
Dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Columbus, this New England IPA is fruity and smooth. Bright and balanced with just the right amount of bitterness and juice. Citrusy notes lead the flavor profile with a nice dosage of tropical fruit and soft herbs. From Finback Brewery.
Sour/Session
$12
KCBC “No Time To Pie”
Fruited Sour. 5.5%. Brooklyn, NYC.
$12
Pours a vibrant red haze in the glass with meringue-like foam. Notes of raspberry jam, mixed-berry fruit roll-ups, a light layer of lemon sorbet and a touch of soft-serve vanilla ice cream. Balanced acidity & sweetness from raspberry & lemon, with medium body and a hint of flaky pie crust from copious amounts of soft white wheat.
Hard Seltzer
$10
Lunar Yuzu
Hard Seltzer. 4.7%. NYC.
$10
Made from real, fresh yuzu grown in Japan's coastal Shimane Prefecture. Enjoy the floral aromas and tartness of this seltzer, enhanced with punchy carbonation that accentuates its flavor. Gluten-free.
Mocktail/Zero ABV
$11
Good Time Non-Alcoholic IPA
Zero-ABV IPA. New York.
$11
Good Time Brewing’s signature non-alcoholic IPA is dry-hopped for an authentic finish and taste. A variety of barley, wheat, and oat malts provide a well-rounded backbone upon which the hops can shine. A convergence of East Coast and West Coast styles — mellow and slightly hazy.
$12
