You would think that local businesses would be struggling to get customers and make sure they give…read moreeveryone a good user experience in order to make up for any losses during a pandemic right? Nope, not this place. I was interested in buying a ton of wine from here because I support local businesses and understand what the economic climate is causing undue hardships to everyone. However, when we walked in, we weren't greeted. We were treated like we were bothering them on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The person working seemed particular annoyed we walked in and now he has to put on his mask while we were in there. I wasn't dressed nicely or anything, I was on my way to a picnic at central park, so there could be some bias on how much I was willing to spend. After looking through the entire store for 5 minutes, we were never asked if we need help or anything. I mean, you would assume every person who walks in would need help, why? Because there's absolutely no organization or labeling, so trying to find particular wines would take all day. I finally asked if they have any Cab Sav, and I was replied with "of course we do. Over here. We have some $20 bottles over here, and some $15 bottles down there." Well, that definitely answers my first assumption about why we weren't being helped. We're not big spenders! You want me to buy these cheap bottles, then I will! Next I asked about Riesling, and then he showed me that. My friend and I both noticed how this guy was completely miserable and unhelpful. Seriously, you don't want to sell anything or make money at all? So be it. This review will make sure of that. I ended up buying 5 bottles of wine. It's also the last time I buy any wine from this place.

In terms of location, This sake shop/sakaya is one of the many places that are part of Industry City. It's a a bit past Japan Village/by the exit of Wakuwaku if that makes it a bit easier. Anyway, their sake selection is rather absurd compared to every other store I've been to in the city not just in terms of the bottles but in terms of rarity. For instance, I barely know any stores that sells koshu/aged sake and almost all places sell the exact same brand and this place have several koshu including a single rare bottle of Darama Masamune which is unheard of in the city. Outside of the aged sake, they have all different types from all different regions ranging from entry level to fancy bottles. The prices are also very reasonable especially for the mid-level bottles. Outside of sake, they have a wall of shochu (Japanese liquor made from different grains) as well as some bottles of umeshu/plum liquor and a few other less common things such as awamori. There's also a nice selection of Japanese whiskeys here though I would say there are a bit more at Astor Wine but the prices are more reasonable here of course unless your buying in bulk. The man I spoke to there was very knowledgeable and I had a long discussion with him on sake. He gave samples of some of the sake before I bought an excellent bottle. They also do tastings, learning sessions, and always have bottles out to sample. If you're looking for sake, there's no better places I know of in the city. The prices are reasonable, the people working here know what they are doing, and the stuff is properly labeled. If that isn't 5 stars for a liquor store, I don't know what is.

Let's be real, anyone could just take off with a lost wallet and I will always remember this act of honesty. Yet another reason I respect and recommend this shop! Sad I'm no longer living in the area, if you are, check this place out!
