Arizona's 1st Sake. Applause. Applause…read more If you want a taste of Japan in Arizona, pick up a bottle of Arizona's first sake. Don't want to go to Holbrook? Whole Foods carries or as well. This little bottle packs a big punch. You might need a chaser if you aren't a fan of alcohol. For me though, it went down smooth. It was good. Pour me another and let's cheers.

Arizona Sake, not a liquor store…read more.. Read about Atsuo Sakurai's labor of love, his personal love story too, in Smithsonian Magazine 2021* and immediately started to source his high-grade sake but to no avail. Being a sake fan, definitely not an aficionado, I shared what I'd read and my failed quest for Sakurai's USA made product with a relentless foodie friend. It reminded us both of our sake sipping days at the now closed Santa Monica Airport's restaurant, Typhoon **. Christmas gift exchange. I gave my friend sourdough starter. Hey, it was the tail end of the pandemic. My treat was a chilled bottle of Atsuo Sakurai's raw unprocessed, premium Junmai Ginjo sake. We shared, sipped, savored soul soothing elixir at my dining room table. I never did find out how that fine bottle made it there though. Photographed the bottle but self-editing me deleted it, didn't review Arizona Sake either concerned Yelp would 86 both because I didn't visit AZ. May still remove. Read it while it's here... Fortunately, Arizona Sake is now readily available through many US retailers in both AZ and CA like Whole Foods, Total Wine.

Honestly, didn't disappoint. One gentleman in the front of the house, taking orders, serving drinks & food. He was quite masterful. He not only took care of our group, but took care of all the other customers. I wasn't able to take pictures of everyone else's lunch, but I only heard good things. Lunch is served only on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I can't speak for their services, but I'm sure it's on their website. If you're looking for a good light lunch, check it out.

Alex we did Antelope canyon, horseshoe bend even some other bonuses. So absolutely wonderful and so worth the tour! Alex was great telling us all kinds of details and tidbits. Was attentive to all of us! Lunch was stupendous with plenty of snacks water and soda if you prefer. We did bring extra 3 waters which we could refill with the cooler of just water they had. Corry we had the following day for the Grand Canyon and several extras as well. He was also very detailed and kept us from crowded areas to make sure we had great views for Grand Canyon! He even had a telescope too attach to his phone to show us rafters and kayakers in the waters of the Colorado. The gift shop they both took is to was absolutely great!! Lunch was spot on yet again. We did bring our water bottles that were insulated to keep water cold. The difference of heat and winds was crazy but tolerable and Corry had van open and ready when we got back! Thank you so much from the 3 of us!! Keep doing what you're doing boys!!

Upon arrival we had to wait a few minutes longer than start time, but it was because agent ensured we were able to tour without any other group issues! We had John T as our driver and this was one of the best tours we have had in a very long time! We laughed so hard, we literally cried. He was knowledgeable and funny and accommodating, and we would recommend this tour and John T to anyone even thinking about it. In terms of difficulty, there were moments that were a little harrowing, but we were definitely at ease with our driver. The views and experience more than make up for it though! Please do yourself a favor and utilize this company and ask for John T. Because we booked more than one tour with them, they even accommodated a deal for us on our next tour! Such a great time had by all!!

It's truly a very special unique experience and it will be personalized to you and what you are looking to get out of this time. My husband and I were on a wedding anniversary trip and he tailored it to be a couples experience, and he shared stories of other personalized experiences he's created for his patrons that were also really amazing to hear about. I encourage you to enter this with an open heart and open mind. We were able to see the Prana immediately after he walked us through - and I don't want to give too much of it away, but it really makes you feel more connected to the universe and to your higher power. You could come to this experience with any faith background and really get something special out of it. This is no doubt Barry's passion to connect people to their world but also beyond our world here, and I left with a deeper understand and deeper connection to the metaphysical and the connection we have with our Creator that I think we as humans can easily miss out on if we miss the opportunity to key in. It also made me rethink how energy around us actually interacts with us as souls having an experience on this earth. This is not a typical wine tour, and it's not a typical Sedona gimmicky vortex tour. It's meaningful and intended to be transformational - but you will most definitely have fun on the journey. I highly recommend - we felt like we met a new friend and really enjoyed our time with Barry. Today a day later I was still finding Prana on my own - as Barry said, think of this as an introduction and you can go with it as far as you want! (Thank you Barry!!)
