I love sake...especially the good stuff. I just thought I'd share some photos from my most recent visit to Osake - the sake studio on Railspur Ave at Granville Island.
After brokering and supplying Japanese breweries and sake makers with brewing equipment exported from Canada, Masa Shiroki decided to give sake making a shot himself. He finally opened this studio early last year after some bureaucratic hoop-jumping involving inflexible and antiquated liquor and food service laws.
He has three types of sake:
- Junmai Nama Nigori - an unfiltered (cloudy), fruity number
- Junmai Nama - a clear (filtered) sake which reminds me of a riesling
- Junmai Nama Genshu - a high test clear sake - at 18% alcohol
Like most aficionados, I prefer good sake served cold. You can sample Osake's offerings here at the studio where they do flights and at various Japanese establishments all over town - namely Kingyo, Blue Water Cafe, and Tojo's.
