With the state of the today’s economy, who isn’t looking for a way to save a buck. Well fear not, there is a way to enjoy a night out without breaking the bank; bring your own bottle! Here’s a list (with links) of restaurants with no or low corkage fee. Please call to confirm as things change on occasion

The Mr. and I have been afficionados for years and have come to take our love rather seriously.  We often get asked by curious friends about our favorite saké.  Below is one of our old faithfuls; relatively easy to find, mid priced (retail; price is often doubled in a restaurant) and always delicious.  Now remember, premium saké is meant to be enjoyed chilled and this one is very easy to drink;  dry, floral bouquet with a hint of melon.  Enjoy!
