Made for sake enthusiasts and budding sake lovers alike, the new sake tasting sets ($475) include something for everyone and will change based on what diners want. The tasting sets, perfect for 2 to 3 people, feature a range of three different sakes - the infamous Akishka "bambi", Junmai sake is served in a collectible bambi printed bottle; it is full bodied with a dry finish - the strongest of the three in the set and perfect to have alongside robata dishes.  A second sake is medium bodied - Shirayuki, HonjozoI - a refreshing sake for the start of a meal. Last, but certainly not least - a favourite amongst the ladies, is a sparkling sake Hitotoki Rose sake which is light and ideal for the start of a meal or with dessert.
