The sake is called "Garyubai." "Garyu" literally means a "reclining dragon," kind of like a "dark horse" in English (I think). "Bai" is the same as "ume," the Japanese word for plum. It's from Shizuoka prefecture, and is made with Yamada-nishiki rice. That rice is generally thought of as the best, and usually results in a fruity sake. The rice was milled down to 55% of its original size, which usually indicates a rather refined product. Here are the other stats: SMV: +2 Acidity: 1.5 Alcohol: 16-17% Is it good? I think it's good to drink Garyubai at Azuma. I would ordinarily prefer something drier like Otokoyama (it's slightly cheaper too), but Garyubai isn't available in any other Sydney restaurants or bottle shops (as far as I know). I would probably rank it around the same level as the "Inaho," which is the other sake that Azuma has in the same price range. I've written more about Azuma here and their sake here. The important thing is, did you like it? Adam’s last blog post..Azuma Regent (Again!)

[...] Friday. Howard and I, along with a couple of our friends were looking forward to trying the new Kushiyaki Azuma. Talking to a couple of people, I was assured that Azuma is usually quiet up until 8pm, so me being [...]

Karen- I didn’t know that Azuma initially did not have a liquor license, luckily we waited a while.

Reemski- It was heaps fun although a little on the expensive side.

Arwen- Yeah that was the favourite dessert of the night, I wish I had been less full, so that i could try more =D

Karen- That’s the best thing about the experience, there’s always something to satisfy everyone

Chris- The set is definitely value for money, I agree, the more people, the better.

Simon- Photos courtesy of Howard =)

Foodie-central- I think the most dissapointing skewer would be the giblet, which is readily available and quite cheap at the butchers.

FFichiban- If you do decide to eat there, make sure to book in advance.

Lili- Ooh I can’t wait to read about your experience in Singapore. I love the variety of food available in Singapore, can’t wait to go back. Will be reading your blog for some reccomendations.

Y- It looked good, but unfortunately did not deliver. I think I prefer PIerre Herme’s one

Smileona- HAHAHAHAHAHA your sister is funny. We always get a couple of funny ones on the table that throw there left over shells back into the bowl. If ever you need people to accompany you for the azuma experience, I’m more than happy to go back again and again and again =D

wow your photos always seem to amaze me. I've always wanted to try azuma but never gotten around to it yet. Every time i look at Edamame beans i have an image of my sister trying to chew the whole bean questioning "why she is unable to swallow it" LOLLLLLL the Otsumami looks delicious MmMMM smileona’s last blog post..La Renaissance

Oh! Those skewers just reminded me of a terribly kitsch and wonderful Japanese eatery that I visited in Singapore (and have yet to blog about, eeep!). Looks divine, especially the Otsumami set and the mont blanc! lili - pikeletandpie’s last blog post..Roast Duck and Noodle Salad, the perfect mid-week indulgence

Yum, I’ve been meaning to try this place for ages, but figured it might be better to go with friends to split the cost. I might have to go just to try the set though, looks great!
