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.

Q: Why did the sake break up? A: It found a better…read morepour-tential. What is a Junmai Ginjo? "Junmai" signifies no added brewer's alcohol, while "Ginjo" indicates high-level polishing and fermentation at lower temperatures. Junmai Ginjo is a premium sake brewed using only rice, water, yeast, and koji, with the rice polished to at least 60% (meaning 40% or more is removed). It is known for its light, fruity, and aromatic profile. People underestimate sake because it arrives politely. Sake is a gentleman that kisses your knuckles and pulls out your chair. Just a whisper of sweetness, a hint of rice, and a small bite of alcohol. Then forty minutes later it, has altered the emotional climate and everyone's made bad decisions. Sake is great and this one, Arizona Sake, bites back. He's sassy. He's a scrappy! It's impressive that the city Holbrook, AZ (population of 4,858 as of 2020) has its own sake brewer. Support local. Support AZ!

We were looking for lunch after hiking at Petrified Forest National Park and found this diner on…read moreYelp. We arrived around 1:30 on Memorial Day, and there was a sign on the door that food would arrive 20-30 minutes after ordering. That should have been our clue to look elsewhere. Though we were seated right away, it took awhile to even order our food. I didn't time how long it took to make our food, but it was probably in the estimated range. We ordered the corn appetizer hoping they could deliver that before the entrees, but no luck. The sandwiches and fries were ok, but nothing special. The dip was a little runny and the chips were kind of stale. And they serve Pepsi products so we got water. The place was decorated with a bunch of American items. Not sure if that's a regular thing or if it was for the holiday.

This would be a five star review except for the fact that there was a long long line and two registers open but the larger man working the second register never called any customers over. Her just stood there doing absolutely nothing while the woman at the other register took care of everything. At one point she finally said, his register is open, prompting customers to go to him. She had to do that multiple times to keep the line moving.
