Highly recommend is the Sake Saturdays currently on offer from Zuma that includes free-flowing sake and izakaya style food. The dishes change depending on the sake; those tried by the WOM team were outstanding as was the sake.

Priced at $490 per person ($450 without sake), Sake Saturdays is being staged on alternate weeks, starting at 12 noon, including 18 izakaya style dishes served fresh from the grill and open kitchen to complement featured sakes.
